The functional groups of the caffeine are alkene, amide, and amine. Caffeine (1,3,7-trimethylxanthine) is a secondary metabolite produced by certain plant species and an important component of coffee (Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora) and tea (Camellia sinensis). The additive was to act as strong water structure-breaker over the range of studied. The aggregate structure and the dimer characteristics were analysed based on the exciton model. The only difference between caffeine and theobromine is an additional methylene group in position 1 of caffeine. The spectral data of the water-caffeine-dye systems were systematically analyzed and discussed based on the chemical structure of the constituent molecules. Both caffeine and theobromine also include an amide group, which is a functional group consisting of a carbonyl group bound to a C atom and a N atom, and an alkene, an unsaturated hydrocarbon containing at least one carbon-carbon double bond. Caffeine is found in many drinks such as coffee, tea, soft drinks. Caffeine is built up of two carbonyl groups and 4 tertiary amines. Caffeine is a drug that stimulates (increases the activity of) your brain and nervous system. Purines are heterocyclic aromatic compounds. These ring systems, named purines, are constructed from a pyrimidine (6 membered ring) and an imidazole ring (5 membered ring). Caffeine is a psychoactive drug that is legal and unregulated in most parts of the world. The figure shows that caffeine is built up in two ring systems. Theobromine is called 3,7-dimethylxanthine, or 3,7-dimethylpurine-2,6-dione. Caffeine is called 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine, or 1,3,7-trimethylpurine-2,6-dione. Caffeine has a stronger stimulating effect on the CNS than theobromine.įigure: Chemical structure of caffeine and theobromine. Therefore, it may be difficult to separate them after analysis. Theobromine and caffeine are very similar, both physically and chemically. Energy drinks often have more caffeine and sugar than soft drinks.
Caffeine is found in many drinks such as coffee, tea, soft drinks and energy drinks. In plants which biosynthesize caffeine theobromine is also found. Caffeine is a drug that stimulates (increases the activity of) your brain and nervous system.
It is produced in plants such as coffee and tea from adenosine, which is found in DNA and RNA. Caffeine belongs to the group of substances called alkaloids.
