Abstract

Studies were carried out on the extraction of caffeine from coffee beans using dichloromethane on a pilot Soxhlet extraction unit of capacity 10 kg/batch. Coffee beans were conditioned to moisture content 40% and extracted until 97% of the initial caffeine was removed. Apparent coeff. of diffusion was calculated using Fick's law of diffusion.
