HPLC determination of caffeine in tea, chocolate products and carbonated beverages

Abstract: Caffeine, preservative and sugar analyses are widely used in food science and analytical chemistry. We have designed a two-stage course-embedded project to determine caffeine and related compounds by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) at Georgia Gwinnett College in two analytical chemistry courses (CHEM3000K analytical chemistry and CHEM4100K instrumental chemistry). Built upon our experiences in STEM education, this project is designed to provide our students with more hands-on experience in instru… Show more

“…Results obtained with the cultivars studied are within the suggested limit for caffeine intake of 400 mg day −1 . However, it is important to emphasise that there are other sources of caffeine in the diet that may contribute to the total intake of this compound, such as soft drinks, tea, chocolate, energy drinks and guarana powder (Camargo & Toledo, ; Camargo et al ., ; Tfouni et al ., ).…”

“…The time required for the body to eliminate one‐half of the total amount of caffeine consumed (the caffeine half‐life) varies from several hours to several days, but for the average nonsmoking adult it is about 3–4 hr (22, 23). Caffeine is present in coffee, tea, soft drinks, cocoa, chocolate, and kola nuts (24). No EKG abnormalities were seen when giving 400 mg of caffeine to normal healthy volunteers (25, 26).…”

“…However, it was possible to increase the sensitivity of the method to caffeine by increasing the injection volume, and a 9:1 signal-to-noise ratio was achieved at 0.5 g ml −1 using a 7.5 l injection volume. The measured values of sensitivity were comparable with those reported for caffeine in other complex media [36][37][38]. Table 3 shows correlation coefficient values (r 2 ) of the regression line fitted to the standard curves obtained in each medium, and shows the intra-and inter-day variability.…”
