A NOVEL OPTIMIZED ENERGY-SAVING EXTRACTION PROCESS ON COFFEE
ABSTRACT
In this paper, Taguchi method is applied to optimize ultrasound thermal process for extracting caffeine and flavor from coffee. The use of ultrasound can abridge experiments in cost, energy loss and time; the different operating conditions for extraction experiments are executed and the results are also compared. The results show that the best design factors for caffeine are 95℃ of extraction temperature, 28 kHz of operating frequency and 30 s of extraction time. The proposed optimized extraction method is efficient and energy-saving compared with the general process for making coffee
