Extraction of Caffeine from Tea Leaves Santos‚ Raphael‚ Samson‚ Nonia Carla‚ *Tabora‚ Brylle‚ Tan‚ Kate Michal Department of Biological Sciences‚ University of Santo Tomas‚ Manila‚ Philippines Abstract Tea leaves are natural products that are harvested from agriculture. Caffeine‚ on the other hand‚ is a stimulant that has been shown to speed up the time of reaction‚ increase alertness‚ and improve one’s concentration. What we did in this experiment was to extract the alkaloid caffeine content

Extraction of Caffeine from Tea Leaves using Dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) Abstract The extraction of caffeine (C8H10N402) was done in two parts. The first procedure used was solid-liquid extraction which was done by boiling the tea leaves in 100 ml. distilled water for 5-10 minutes. The filtrate was acquired and was extracted again by liquid-liquid extraction using dichloromethane (CH2Cl2). The combined DCM (CH2Cl2) was washed and dried to yield crude caffeine. The crude caffeine was purified

Extraction of caffeine from tea bags ABSTRACT Caffeine extraction from the commercial tea leaves (Lipton Yellow Label Tea) that was done is multiple extraction. 4 tea bags were used in the experiment; tea leaves were weighed having 8.5333 grams. The leaves were boiled in a beaker with 150ml of water; the aqueous tea extract was transferred in a seperatory funnel mixed with DCM (20ml)‚ done thrice. The DCM layer was washed with 20ml 6M NaOH in the seperatory funnel; the organic layer was dried

chemical synthesis: extraction of crude caffeine pose little toxicity to human health and the environment.(1) Q2) Things not green: According to GCP# 5 i.e. Safer solvent and auxiliaries: In liquid-liquid extraction of caffeine‚ Dicholoromethane was used which is a hazardous chemical and have potential acute health effects(2). According to GCP#12 i.e. Inherent safer chemistry for accident prevention: The separatory funnels used in the experiment for liquid-liquid extraction was a dangerous procedure

Extraction of Caffeine from Lipton® Tea Leaves Nathaniel Camangon*‚ Kaila Bumagat‚ Franz Mari Burgos‚ Remigio Callanta Department of Chemistry‚ College of Science‚ University of Santo Tomas‚ Manila‚ Philippines Abstract This experiment mainly focuses on the extraction of pure caffeine by multiple extraction from commercially acquired tea leaves and determining its purity by melting point determination. A 0.02% yield of pure caffeine was obtained from 10.4978g of tea leaves (4 tea bags).

a liquid-liquid extraction method to extract the caffeine from the tea bags that were provided‚ and then recrystallize the caffeine. The solvents used in the experiment were an aqueous sodium carbonate and dichloromethane (DCM). Anhydrous calcium chloride pellets were used to dry the solution and emulsion layer and the DCM was then decanted. After washing the anhydrous calcium chloride pellets with more DCM‚ the solvent was evaporated‚ leaving greenish-white crystalline caffeine residue weighing

Isolation of caffeine from tea leave Abstract:- Introduction:- Caffeine is probably the most commonly used addictive drug. This drug is found in a number of things ingested by people. It belongs to a group of nitrogen bases called purines. Because caffeine possesses these base-like properties‚ it is described as an alkaloid. They usually taste bitter and often are physiologically active in humans. The structure of caffeine is shown below. Figure 1: Structure of Caffeine In this experiment
