Microbial and enzymatic methods for the removal of caffeine
TLDR
Development of a process involving an enzymatic (specific) degradation of caffeine to non-toxic compound is necessary to solve the problems of chemical extraction of caffeine in food products as well as treating the caffeine containing waste products.About:

Kinetics of cell growth and caffeine utilization by Pseudomonas sp. GSC 1182
TL;DR: The kinetic data showed substrate inhibition kinetics and maximum growth rate was obtained when the isolate was grown in medium containing 2.5 g/l of initial concentration of caffeine, and different substrate inhibition models were fitted to the kinetic data and found the Luong model was best.

Preparation of partially decaffeinated instant green tea.
Jian-Hui Ye,Yue-Rong Liang,Jing Jin,Hue-Ling Liang,Yingying Du,Jian-Liang Lu,Qian Ye,Chen Lin +7 more
TL;DR: It showed that the removal of caffeine from the tea extract solutions depended on the treatment time and tea extract concentration while the ethanol concentration and pH had little effect on the Removal of caffeine.

Optimization of the microwave-assisted extraction conditions of tea polyphenols from green tea.
Di-Cai Li,Jian-Guo Jiang +1 more
TL;DR: A microwave-assisted extraction of green tea polyphenols offers important advantages over conventional methods, such as shorter extraction times, substantial savings of energy and a reduced environmental burden.
Journal ArticleDOI
Caffeine in surface and wastewaters in Barbados, West Indies
TL;DR: Caffeine in water bodies are principally attributed to anthropogenic sources as caffeine-producing plants are not commonly grown on the island of Barbados, and the study shows the recalcitrance of caffeine to hydrolytic degradation.
