of alkaloid caffeine from tea leaves Date Submitted: September 3‚ 2014 Abstract Caffeine is one of the main constituents of tea leaves. In this experiment‚ 0.0039 g of pure caffeine was isolated from tea leaves. This was done through solid-liquid extraction followed by multiple liquid-liquid extraction. Then crude material obtained was then purified by sublimation. The isolated caffeine was subjected to thin layer chromatography (TLC) together with a standard caffeine. The Rf value

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

content difference between energy drinks and coffee and are they safe? There are hundreds of different brands of energy drinks being marketed and their caffeine content per can or bottle ranges from just 50 mg to as much as 505 mg (Weise‚ 2008). Energy drinks are most commonly consumed by people 11-35 years old (Ballard et al.‚ 2010). Energy drink companies can say anything they want about energy and performance effects of the drinks‚ and while some energy drinks are banned in some countries

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 caffeine was subjected to
