Summary

The main goal of this experimental work is to statistically analyze the influence of certain

parameters during the coffee leaching process. To analyze the parameters the caffeine content

is studied using the 2K^ factorial method. The effects of the parameter on the extraction of the

caffeine concentration were also explored using different techniques.

Material required:

  • Watch glass
  • Spatula
  • Heat plate
  • Coffee maker
  • Coffee mill
  • Beakers
  • Tina
  • Graduated cylinder
  • Funnel
  • Filter paper
  • Scissors
  • Volumetric pipettes
  • Pompete

Procedure:

  • At first, we should weight the coffee.
  • Then we need to carry out extraction experiments (leaching process).
  • We need to cool the extracts by inserting them in a vat with water and ice.
  • We need to perform filtration.
  • After we should adjust the volume of all extracts to constant value.
  • At last, analyse the sample using a UV-spectrophotometer at 274 nm.

Results and discussion Calibration curve For the quantitative analysis of the caffeine concentration in samples we need to establish the relationship between concentration of caffeine and adsorption. So, to establish this relationship calibration curve was built using the data provided in the Table 1. The absorbance for the caffeine content to build calibration curve was read under UV-spectrophotometer at the wavelength of 274nm. Table 1: Data of the absorbance of caffeine for calibration curve. S.N Concentration(mg/L) Absorbance(AU) 1 5 0. 2 10 0. 3 15 0. 4 20 1. 5 25 1.

The equation for the relation between caffeine content and absorbance is shown below:

Absorbance = 0.0494 * Concentration + 0.0114 Equation 1

R^2 = 0.99 97

Experimental data analysis

In this experiment 2 factors were studied with 2 level giving the possible combination of the

experiment to be 4 in total. So, to have the precise results this 4 combination was replicated

total the 8 experiments.

Table 2: Parameters use for designing the experiment Number of experiments Parameters Type of coffee Normal 1 Pressurized 2 physical state of coffee Grinded 3 Entire grains 4

Therefore, considering the dilution factor for each experiment following results were

calculated.

Thus, we can say that the caffeine content depends more on the physical state of the coffee

(grinded / entire grain) than on the type.

The Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was also done using the excel and the results obtained is

displayed by the Table 4.

Table 4: ANOVA analysis using experimental data Source of Variation SS df MS F P-value F crit Sample 1.37846374 1 1.378464 292.4159 6.86E- 05 7. Columns 2.12706794 1 2.127068 451.2186 2.9E- 05 7. Interaction 1.6149119 1 1.614912 342.574 5.01E- 05 7. Within 0.01885621 4 0. Total 5.13929979 7

Conclusion

We can conclude that the caffeine concentration mostly depends more on the physical state of

the coffee rather than the type of coffee. We can also conclude that there is certainly a

interaction between the parameter since F critical is less than the calculated F value which

means rejection of null hypothesis (null hypothesis H 0 : There is no interaction between

parameters).

As it was possible to observe during this work, many parameters come into play during the

leaching process. These interact on the caffeine content but also on other parameters since

coffee contains more than 100 components. It would then be interesting to study the influence

that the type of coffee, for example, has on these compounds.
