ABSTRACT:
A method of decaffeinating aqueous roasted coffee extracts is disclosed. An organic caffeine solvent is first loaded with essentially hydrolyzed coffee solids. The aqueous roasted coffee extract is contacted with the loaded organic caffeine solvent for a sufficient period of time to transfer at least some of the caffeine from the coffee extract to the caffeine solvent, whereupon the extract is separated from the caffeine-containing solvent. The resultant coffee extract has been found to have noticably more body notes than a coffee extract which is decaffeinated with a solvent that has not been loaded with hydrolyzed coffee solids.
