The document discusses the coffee plant and caffeine. It notes that caffeine is a natural stimulant found in coffee, tea, and cocoa that stimulates the brain and central nervous system. It is recommended to consume 200-300 mg of caffeine per day, equivalent to 2-4 cups of coffee. Caffeine has benefits like protecting brain cells and reducing inflammation, but excessive amounts can cause stress, anxiety, insomnia, and other issues. The document also describes an indirect chemical decaffeination process where coffee beans are boiled and soaked in chemical solutions to remove caffeine atoms while trying to retain flavors.

In this method, coffee is boiled in
water for several hours until it loses a large part of its taste, oils and chemical compounds, and then the coffee is filtered from the water and the water is kept aside. After that, the coffee is placed in a chemical solution, whether “methylene chloride or ethyl acetate” for ten hours until the components of the solution bind with the caffeine atoms, and then the solution is heated to evaporate the solution with caffeine.
After that, the decaffeinated coffee beans are taken and
returned to fermentation in the water solution that preceded the decaffeination process, which contains coffee oils and some flavors in order for the coffee to absorb some of the flavors it had previously lost!
This method is old and famous in Europe and Germany in
particular, and one of its shortcomings is the coffee’s loss of taste, texture and overtones. THANK YAU FOR LISTENING
