UVVW DECAF is a propietary process for decaffeinating raw coffee beans to extract the caffeine. This unique process yields a very high quality product which very closely resembles the original quality without removing the flavor, physical and aroma components commonly diminished by other processes used in the industry.
In this method of decaffeination, the raw green coffee beans are soaked in near boiling water, high pressure and steam creating a concentrate. This concentrate is then removed from the beans and, in an independent/indirect process the solvent is added to the concentrate and separate the caffeine from the original green coffee components and then pasteurized to remove any MC remnants. Finally, the extract (original green coffee properties without the caffeine) is returned to the processing lines to bond with the decaffeinated coffee beans. The UVVW method of decaffeination removes between 98% to 99.5% of caffeine from a batch of coffee.
