Green Method for decaffeination

• Green decaffeination methods focus on removing caffeine from coffee beans and tea leaves using environmentally friendly processes that maintain flavor and quality.


• One popular green method is the Swiss Water Process, which uses only water to extract caffeine, relying on solubility and osmosis without the need for chemical solvents.


• Another method involves using supercritical carbon dioxide (CO₂), which acts as a solvent at high pressures to selectively extract caffeine while preserving other flavor compounds.


• These methods ensure that the decaffeination process is sustainable, reducing chemical waste and minimizing environmental impact compared to traditional solvent-based techniques.


• The resulting decaffeinated products are tested for flavor and caffeine content to ensure they meet quality standards, providing a healthier and eco-friendly option for consumers.
