 Caffeine
Caffeine is a bitter substance that occurs
naturally in more than 60 plants including: •
Coffee beans
• Tea leaves
• Kola nuts, which are used to flavor soft drink
colas
• Cacao pods, which are used to make
chocolate products

Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant

of the methylxanthine class. It is mainly used
recreationally or as a cognitive enhancer,
increasing alertness and attentional
performance. Wikipedia
Formula: C8H10N402
Metabolism: Primary: CYP1A2; Minor:
CYP2E1, CYP3A4, CYP2C8, CYP2C9 Other
names: Guaranine;
Methyltheobromine; 1,3,7-
Trimethylxanthine; 7-methyltheophylline
Theine
Protein binding: 25-36%
Pregnancy category: AU: A
Metabolites: Paraxanthine (84%);
Theobromine (12%); Theophylline
(4%)

Allergy
While extremely rare, some people may
experience a severe allergic reaction to
caffeine called anaphylactic shock. The
symptoms of anaphylactic shock can include:
Severe facial swelling, including eyes, lips and
tongue. Difficulty breathing brought on by
swelling.

What are the side effects from too much

caffeine?
For most people, it is not harmful to consume
up to 400mg of caffeine a day. If you do eat or
drink too much caffeine, it can cause health
problems, such as:
• Restlessness and shakiness
• Insomnia
• Headaches
• Dizziness
• Fast heart rate
• Dehydration
• Anxiety
• Dependency, so you need to take more of it
to get the same results

Some people are more sensitive to the effects

of caffeine than others.

What are caffeine's effects on the body?

Caffeine has many effects on your body's

metabolism. It:
• Stimulates your central nervous system,
which can make you feel more awake and
give you a boost of energy
• Is a diuretic, meaning that it helps your body
get rid of extra salt and water by urinating
more
• Increases the release of acid in your stomach,
sometimes leading to an upset stomach or
heartburn
• May interfere with the absorption of calcium
in the body
• Increases your blood pressure

Within one hour of eating or drinking caffeine,

it reaches its peak level in your blood. You may
continue to feel the effects of caffeine for four
to six hours.

Who should avoid or limit caffeine?

You should check with your health care
provider about whether you should limit or
avoid caffeine if you:
• Are pregnant, since caffeine passes through
the placenta to your baby.
• Are breastfeeding, since a small amount of
caffeine that you consume is passed along to
your baby.
• Have sleep disorders, including insomnia. •
Have migraines or other chronic headaches.
• Have anxiety.
• Have GERD or ulcers.
• Have arrhythmia (a problem with the rate or
rhythm of your heartbeat).
• Have high blood pressure.
• Take certain medicines or supplements,
including stimulants, certain antibiotics,
asthma medicines, and heart medicines.
Check with your health care provider about
whether there might be interactions between
caffeine and any medicines and supplements
that you take.
• Are a child or teen. Neither should have as
much caffeine as adults. Children can be
especially sensitive to the effects of caffeine.
Coffee Beans

Types of Coffee Beans:-

1) Coffee Arabica
2) Robusta Coffee
3) Coffee liberica
4) Kopi Luwak
5) Kona coffee
 1. Coffee Arabica
Coffea arabica, also known as the Arabic
coffee, is a species of flowering plant in the
coffee and madder family Rubiaceae. It is
believed to be the first species of coffee to
have been cultivated and is currently the
dominant cultivar, representing about 60% of
global production.The study's authors found
that arabica beans contain 34.1-38.5 grams (g)
of caffeine per kilogram (kg) of dry coffee,
whereas robusta beans contain 68.6-81.6 g of
caffeine per kg of dry coffee. Other factors that
can affect the amount of caffeine in a cup of
coffee include: the type of roast
 2.Robusta Coffee

Coffea canephora is a species of coffee that

has its origins in central and western sub-
Saharan Africa. It is a species of flowering
plant in the family Rubiaceae. Though widely
known as
Coffea robusta, the plant is scientifically
identified as Coffea canephora, which has two
main varieties, robusta and nganda.A Robusta
coffee bean contains 2.2% caffeine, which is
about double the caffeine in Arabica
coffee.You can expect up to 265 mg of caffeine
in an 8ounce cup of Robusta coffee.
 3. Coffee Liberica
Coffea liberica, commonly known as the
Liberian coffee, is a species of flowering plant
in the family Rubiaceae from which coffee is
produced. It is native to western and central
Africa, and has become naturalised in areas
including Colombia, Venezuela, Borneo and
Java

The caffeine concentration of liberica beans is

the lowest of the three cultivars, with 1.23 g/100
g, where arabica has
1.61 g/100 g and Robusta has 2.26 g/100
g.

4. Kopi Luwak
Kopi luwak, also known as civet coffee, is a
coffee that consists of partially digested coffee
cherries, which have been eaten and defecated
by the Asian palm civet. The cherries are
fermented as they pass through a civet's
intestines, and after being defecated with other
fecal matter, they are collected.Further,
caffeine content had been analysed where
regular coffee beans contained 0.70% and its
roasted bean contained 0.61% while caffeine
content of green bean from Kopi Luwak was
0.51%, and its roasted bean was 0.47%.
 5. Kona Coffee

Kona coffee is the market name for coffee

(Coffea arabica) cultivated on the slopes of
Hualalai and Mauna Loa in the North and
South Kona Districts of the Big Island of
Hawaii. It is one of the most expensive coffees
in the world. Only coffee from the Kona
Districts can be described as "Kona." The
weather of sunny mornings, clouds or rain in
the afternoon, little wind, and mild nights
combined with porous, mineral-rich volcanic
soil create favorable coffeegrowing
conditions.An average cup of Kona coffee,
which is roasted to medium-dark, has 54 mg of
caffeine. In comparison, an average cup of
Colombian coffee has a caffeine content that
varies from 30 mg to 50 mg. The high amount
of caffeine gives the Kona coffee an intriguing
taste, loved by coffee fans.
