Although some friends like the aroma of coffee, they cannot enjoy it because drinking coffee can cause them heart palpitations, insomnia, stomachache and other adverse reactions. So are there any decaffeinated coffee options? How low can its caffeine content be?
First, let us understand what caffeine is?
Caffeine is a plant alkaloid and the most consumed central nervous system stimulant in the world. It can have a refreshing effect and also has important clinical uses in medicine. However, due to genetic differences, different people have different absorption abilities and degradation methods of caffeine, and their reactions are also different. At the same time, excessive intake of caffeine can also lead to adverse reactions. (Normal intake of caffeine per person per day should not exceed 400 mg, which is about 4 cups of coffee)
What exactly is decaf coffee?
In fact, decaf coffee is not 100% caffeine-free, it just contains less caffeine. Decaffeinated Coffee (Decaf for short) is coffee made from coffee beans that are extracted and removed from the green beans through a special processing method before roasting. According to the requirements of the United States Department of Agriculture, the caffeine content in decaffeinated coffee beans should be reduced to less than three percent of the original caffeine content. For example, a 12-ounce (about 354 ml) cup of coffee may originally contain 180 mg of caffeine, but decaffeinated coffee will drop to about 5.4 mg.
It is worth noting that from a proportional point of view, the caffeine in decaf coffee is indeed significantly reduced, but this does not mean that you can drink twice as much without any scruples. Different types of coffee beans, different brewing methods, etc. will affect the caffeine content. For example, Robusta coffee beans have a higher caffeine content than Arabica coffee beans.
