How decaf coffee is made

How decaf coffee is made
Decaffeinated coffee - taking care of your health!

Probably, each of you cannot imagine your morning without a cup of aromatic coffee! Meanwhile, some people prefer decaffeinated coffee. Indeed, decaffeinated coffee is a real find for adherents of a healthy diet and for those who suffer from various sleep disorders, cardiovascular diseases and other ailments. It does not differ from the original in taste, it brings 100% benefits to the body, and is also very popular, because when you taste this drink, the pressure does not increase, and the heart does not overload. Live taste and true aroma - this is decaf coffee!

Characteristics and features of key components

Caffeine is found in plants such as Arabica robusta and other types of the coffee genus. It helps these plantations to protect themselves from all kinds of pests. The largest amount of caffeine among the entire genus of coffee is in robusta (2.5 - 3%), in arabica (1.2 - 1.3%).

A coffee bean, like any other, consists of two main parts: the outer shell and the inner shell. During the growing season and grain ripening, two alkaloids co-operate in it. The first is located in the outer part and is called caffeine, in the second, the inner part is theobromine. When preparing a drink from ground grains, we obtain a solution containing both alkaloids. Caffeine in the body takes effect immediately and this process lasts for 30-35 minutes. Its effects are quite simple: it narrows the vessels of all organs (except for the vessels of the kidneys, which, on the contrary, expand and a diuretic effect occurs). After 35 minutes, the effect of caffeine decreases and theobromine enters the process. On the contrary, it expands the blood vessels, and constricts the kidney. Consequently, on the caffeine reflex, the vascular pressure increases and the renal outflow improves, during the work of theobromine, the vessels are dilated, the pressure decreases.

Decaffeinating coffee: what is it?

When the most valuable caffeine extract begins to be extracted from coffee, as a rule, this part is spent on medicinal caffeine-containing preparations such as citramone, ascofen and other popular energizing drinks. But the rest of the raw material is spent on the production of instant and granular coffee. Therefore, such a drink is not invigorating, since the cardiovascular pressure does not increase. Decaffeinated coffee should be consumed primarily at bedtime. The vessels dilate, calm down, sleep becomes stronger and healthier. That's why big-name brands like Lavazza offer an extensive range of decaffeinated coffee that is absolutely safe for everyone.

There are three ways to extract caffeine:

1st is the chemical method. It has been used for centuries and still today. The green beans are processed using special solvents and the caffeine is extracted.

The second way is to extract caffeine with water. The beans are placed in warm water and charcoal filters for a long period and then the substance is extracted from it.

3rd method - when exposed to carbon dioxide. The coffee is placed in large hoppers and carbon dioxide is injected under high pressure. At a certain temperature, it turns into a liquid, after which this component is removed. This is the most common and safest method used all over the world.

How was decaf coffee invented?

There was a fluke here. Decaffeinated coffee is produced in huge quantities in the world today. This story began in 1903. The ship of a certain German entrepreneur Ludwig, who was selling coffee, got into a storm and all the cargo in the bags was flooded with sea water. And even upon arrival at the port, there was water in the holds. No one had doubts that the entire load would have to be thrown away. However, Ludwig was not going to give up so easily and therefore, in order not to throw away the goods, he washed, dried and fried a small amount of grains and sent them for examination. Studies have shown an amazing result: the taste remained, but the tonic effect was not noticed, since the caffeine content in the product remained catastrophically low. Ludwig decided to patent his own discovery - a method of removing caffeine and launched the production of caffeine-free coffee.

Who needs decaffeinated coffee?

Often people encounter such a nuisance as reflux esophagitis. This is when the contents of the stomach, through the incompetent valve, allows gastric juice to enter the esophagus. It becomes inflamed, ulcers and scars form in it, which can lead to extremely unfavorable consequences. People call it heartburn. In such conditions, it is strictly forbidden to consume coffee with caffeine, as it provokes this unpleasant refusal. For people diagnosed with hypertension, regular coffee is contraindicated, so decaf lavazza coffee is an alternative.
