2. Description of the Related Art Caffeine, which is an alkaloid, is abundantly contained in various plants, in particular, plants that are raw materials of favorite beverages such as coffee and tea. Excessive intake of caffeine, which has a strong central nervous excitatory effect, can cause adverse effects such as extreme excitement, irritability, nausea, and insomnia, even in healthy individuals. It is said to have a particularly bad effect on patients with heart disease and gastric ulcer,
It has also been pointed out that caffeine crosses the placenta and is easily transferred into breast milk, so it is necessary to pay attention to excessive intake in women around the pregnancy. Accordingly, attempts have been made to remove caffeine from caffeine-containing beverages, particularly without adversely affecting their other properties. As a method of removing caffeine from aqueous solutions,
There have been attempts to use an organic solvent such as methylene chloride or chloroform, and to remove caffeine by using a supercritical fluid. However, the method using an organic solvent has drawbacks such that handling is dangerous and consumers do not want to contact the organic solvent with food. Removal of caffeine by supercritical extraction using supercritical carbon dioxide, etc.
There is a problem that the operation at a high pressure is required and the cost is too high, such as using an expensive device. In addition to the caffeine removal methods described above, attempts have been made to reduce caffeine by using adsorbents such as activated carbon and zeolite and ion exchange resins. However, these methods have a problem of adsorbing and removing desirable flavors and aroma components other than caffeine, and are not sufficiently satisfactory.

Means for Solving the Problems The present inventors have studied a method for selectively removing caffeine from an aqueous solution by bringing an aqueous solution containing caffeine such as tea or coffee into contact with a specific adsorbent. As a result, it has been found that, by bringing the activated clay or the acid clay into contact with an aqueous solution containing caffeine, the operation is easy and simple, and the caffeine can be industrially removed efficiently. That is, the present invention is a method for selectively removing caffeine from an aqueous solution containing caffeine. As the aqueous solution containing caffeine in the present invention, an extract of caffeine-containing plants such as coffee, cacao, cola, black tea, oolong tea, green tea, and mate tea is mainly used. An in-containing liquid can also be used. To obtain an extract of a caffeine-containing plant, it can be extracted using hot water, preferably hot water, but after extracting the caffeine-containing plant with an organic solvent,
An aqueous solution obtained by removing the organic solvent may be used. As the extraction operation, a conventionally known extraction method such as a batch type or a continuous type using a column can be employed as it is. Means for removing a substance by an adsorbent is a very common method, but an adsorbent which can be usually used, for example, activated carbon, ion exchange resin,
With the resin for adsorption, other components in the aqueous solution containing caffeine were also adsorbed at the same time, so that caffeine could not be selectively removed. The activated clay used in the present invention is obtained by treating a naturally occurring acidic clay (montmorillonite clay) with a mineral acid such as sulfuric acid, and is a compound having a large specific surface area and a porous structure having an adsorptive capacity. It is known that the acid surface treatment of acid clay further changes the specific surface area, thereby improving the decoloring ability and changing the physical properties. Usually, activated clay is mainly used for refining fats and oils and petroleum mineral oils because of its ability to decolorize fats and oils and absorb impurities. In the present invention, acid clay is also suitable for the purpose,
In order to achieve a more effective purpose, it is desirable to use activated clay. Activated clay and acid clay are both common chemical components, such as SiO 2 , Al 2 O 3 , Fe 2 O 3 , CaO, and Mg.
O or the like, but when used in the present invention, SiO 2 /
The Al 2 O 3 ratio is 3.0 to 12.0, preferably 5.
0 to 9.0 is suitable, Fe 2 O 3 2~5%, CaO 0~
A composition containing 1.5%, MgO 1 to 7% or the like is desirable. The specific surface area varies depending on the degree of the acid treatment, but a specific surface area of 50 to 350 m 2 / g and a pH (5% suspension) of 2.5 to 3.5 is used.
The contact treatment between the caffeine-containing aqueous solution and the activated clay or the acid clay can be performed by any method such as a batch method and a continuous treatment using a column. Generally, powdered activated clay or acid clay is added and stirred to adsorb caffeine.
A method of obtaining a filtrate from which caffeine has been removed by a filtration operation,
Alternatively, a method of adsorbing caffeine by continuous treatment using a column filled with granular activated clay or acid clay is employed. The conditions of the contact treatment can be appropriately selected according to the kind of the caffeine-containing aqueous solution, the concentration of the extract, and the like. For example, in the case of continuous treatment using a column, 1 volume of granular activated clay or acidic clay is used. , About 1
This can be achieved by passing 100 volumes of an aqueous solution containing caffeine. The thus-obtained liquid passing through the column from which caffeine has been removed is concentrated as it is or under reduced pressure or normal pressure, and then dried by a known method such as spray drying, freeze drying, hot air drying, etc. to obtain a powder, granule or other powder. It can also be in solid form. In addition, caffeine adsorbed on activated clay or acid clay can be eluted using an organic solvent such as aqueous acetone as necessary. The effectiveness of the present invention will be described with reference to test examples and examples.
