Extraction of Caffeine from Tea Leaves Marc Tugaoen‚ Kristine Vanzuela‚ Rafael Villanueva‚ Justeen Wong Department of Chemistry‚ University of Santo Tomas‚ Manila‚ Philippines Abstract This experiment has been divided into 4 set-ups‚ first was the solid-liquid extraction‚ next was the liquid-liquid extraction‚ then the sublimation and last was the melting point determination. The solid-liquid and liquid-liquid extraction were both done during the first meeting‚ the DCM layer was filtered and

Abstract This work describes the extraction of caffeine from tea leaves to determine its % caffeine. The extraction process selectively dissolves one or more compounds in a mixture into an appropriate solvent. In this experiment‚ it was visible in the process wherein the components of the tea leaves were dissolved in two solvents‚ water and dichloromethane (DCM)‚ with DCM used for multiple extractions. The organic layer was evaporated and the determined % caffeine was 0.12%. Furthermore‚ the purified
Premium Tea Caffeine Solubility
Extraction of Caffeine from Tea Leaves Introduction Caffeine is soluble in boiling water and as a result it is easily extracted from tea bags by steeping in hot water. This process leaves behind the water insoluble portions of the tea bag. However‚ water extracts more than just caffeine‚ so a final separation is done with an organic solvent that will dissolve primarily caffeine. The organic solvent used in this experiment is Dichloromethane (CH₂Cl₂). Dichloromethane is less polar than water

Extraction of Caffeine from Tea Leaves Department of Biological Sciences‚ College of Science University of Santo Tomas España‚ Manila‚ 1028 ABSTRACT: Caffeine is a white crystalline xanthine alkaloid that acts as a stimulant drug. Caffeine is found in varying quantities in the seeds‚ leaves‚ and fruit of some plants. It is most commonly consumed by humans in infusions extracted from the seed of the coffee plant and the leaves of the tea bush‚ as well as from various foods and drinks containing

MULTIPLE EXTRACTION OF CAFFEINE FROM DRIED TEA LEAVES USING DICHLOROMETHANE Delos Reyes‚ K.‚ Dizon‚ G.J.‚ Enriquez‚ J.R.‚ Estrada‚ G. and Garcia C. Group 4 2G Med Tech Organic Chemistry Laboratory ABSTRACT Caffeine was extracted from dried tea leaves by multiple extraction technique. 10g of tea leaves was boiled in a solution of 4.4 g anhydrous sodium carbonate and 100ml distilled water and was extracted three times using 20 ml of dichloromethane. Theresidue was collected by decanting

Extraction Report For experience 4c we were supposed to determine which one is the organic layer in three different tubes that has two layers. To determine which is aqueous (water) or organic‚ I used the technique of adding droplets of water to each tube. If the layer is water‚ then the drops of added water will dissolve in the aqueous layer and increase it’s volume. If the added water form droplets or a new layer‚ then it is the organic layer. Tube 1 (water and n-butyl chloride)‚ after adding
