The method of removing caffeine from coffee with ethyl acetate
If you want to remove caffeine from coffee, there is now a method of ethyl acetate. Ethyl acetate is mild in nature and is quite suitable for decaffeination.
The method is also to take an appropriate amount of green coffee beans and place them in a special container. Then ethyl acetate is introduced to make it fully contact with the green coffee beans. Ethyl acetate has a good solubility and can gradually dissolve the caffeine in the coffee beans. When the two are blended, such as a drizzle moistening the soil, the caffeine slowly breaks away from the bean body and dissolves into ethyl acetate.
When it is a little longer to dissolve, separate the caffeinated ethyl acetate from the green coffee beans. The method of separation, or the technique of filtration, or the method of centrifugation, makes sure that the two are distinct. Decaffeinated beans, and then after subsequent processes such as roasting, you can get coffee with the same flavor and greatly reduced caffeine content.
As for the separated ethyl acetate, it is not discarded. Because of its recyclability, distillation and other methods can be applied to separate ethyl acetate from caffeine, so that ethyl acetate can be purified again, and can be used for the next decaffeination work. This cycle, not only to remove the caffeine from coffee, but also to make the best use of ethyl acetate, is a wonderful way.
