Decaffeinated coffee beans
Due to health many issues, people are looking for a way to enjoy their favourite, high-quality plantation coffee beans and are therefore opting for decaf. Caffeine is a chemical compound that occurs in both Arabica and Robusta coffee beans quite naturally. Decaffeinated plantation coffee beans have most of the caffeine components removed, but that does not mean there is no caffeine at all. Most of the time it is residual caffeine in the beans, at 1% in Arabica and about 2% in Robusta.
And how is such decaffeinated coffee produced? And how much caffeine is left in the coffee when it says that 97% of the coffee is decaffeinated?
There are two ways in which caffeine is usually removed from coffee.
The European process - probably the most commonly used process. In this case, the coffee is decaffeinated by a process where the coffee is first soaked in water and then washed in methylene chloride (caffeine is bound by it). The coffee is then washed again in water and dried. The advantage of this method is that the coffee hardly loses its natural flavour and aroma.
Water process - this method is completely free of chemical reactions compared to the previous one. The caffeine is extracted from the plantation coffee beans using hot water and steam in this method. It is removed using activated carbon filters. The advantage is that no chemicals are used, but the disadvantage is that, in addition to the caffeine, essential oils and aromas are also being removed from the coffee. Arabica is mainly processed in this way and suffers much less than Robusta.
By the way, when you discover on the label that it is 97% decaffeinated, it means that it was 97% of 1% or 2% of the weight of the caffeine.
