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

and maybe he had been so sad he just drifted away. Skip forward about one year: I was in fourth grade now and had just come home from school. I went to my older brother’s room to ask for a snack when I found him…he was curled up in the corner of his room‚ softly crying.

He began to sleep more often and longer‚ which was

Introduction The issue of transportation and the environment is paradoxical in nature. From one side‚ transportation activities support increasing mobility demands for passengers and freight‚ and this ranging from urban areas to international trade. On the other side‚ transport activities have resulted in growing levels of motorization and congestion. As a result‚ the transportation sector is becoming increasingly linked to environmental problems. With a technology relying heavily on the combustion

EXTRACTION OF CAFFEINE FROM TEA LEAVES 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

is 165 mV vs. SHE and is relatively low compared to most values (110 to +80 mV) for this class of protein. The amino- and carboxy-terminal sequences that flank the central haembinding core of the Giardia cytochromes are highly charged and differ from those of other family members. A core gCYTb5-I variant lacking these flanking sequences was also able to bind haem. The presence of one actual and two probable functional cytochromes b5 in Giardia is evidence of uncharacterized cytochrome-mediated
