The diffusion of caffeine in green coffee beans was investigated at atmospheric pressure using dichlormethane as a solvent.The diffusion coefficient of caffeine was determined as a function of temperature and water content of the beans. The mathematical treatment was based on Fick's second law of diffusion applied to a spherical model.The apparent diffusion coefficients are in the range of 0-2-1.1 . cm2 sec-l.
