This page provides supplementary chemical data on caffeine. ... Solubility in water. 2.17 g/100 mL (25 °C) 18.0 g/100 mL (80 °C) ... 192 mg/kg (rat, oral) [3]
The following chart shows the solubility of various ionic compounds in water at 1 atm pressure and room temperature (approx. 25 °C, 298.15 K). "Soluble" means the ionic compound doesn't precipitate, while "slightly soluble" and "insoluble" mean that a solid will precipitate; "slightly soluble" compounds like calcium sulfate may require heat to precipitate.
[7] [8] Caffeine is moderately soluble in water at room temperature (2 g/100 mL), but quickly soluble in boiling water (66 g/100 mL). [197] It is also moderately soluble in ethanol (1.5 g/100 mL). [197] It is weakly basic (pK a of conjugate acid = ~0.6) requiring strong acid to protonate it. [198]
8-ounce cup of drip coffee. 95–200 milligrams (robusta coffee beans contain about twice as much caffeine as arabica). 1-ounce espresso shot. 60–65 milligrams. 12-ounce can of Coke. 34 milligrams
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says that most people can tolerate up to 400 milligrams of coffee a day—that lines up to between two and three 12 oz cups of the good stuff each day ...
Coffee extraction occurs when hot water is poured over coffee grounds, causing desirable compounds such as caffeine, carbohydrates, lipids, melanoidins and acids to be extracted from the grounds. The degree to which extraction occurs depends on a number of factors, such as water temperature, brewing time, grind fineness, and quantity of grounds.
According to Yawitz, “most healthy teens can safely consume up to 100 milligrams of caffeine daily,” which basically amounts to 24 ounces of soda or one eight-ounce cup of coffee. Or half a ...
The chemical complexity of coffee is emerging, especially due to observed physiological effects which cannot be related only to the presence of caffeine. Moreover, coffee contains an exceptionally substantial amount of antioxidants such as chlorogenic acids, hydroxycinnamic acids, caffeine and Maillard reaction products, such as melanoidins. [3]
