Kola nut extract

Many naturally occurring plant extracts are reputed to possess anti-irritant properties and have been recommended for use in cosmetic formulations. These include such diverse mixtures as tea tree oil, borage seed oil, Paraguay tea extract. Kola nut extract, oil of rosemary, and lavender oil. It is, however, difficult to standardize plant extracts and there may be a great deal of lot-to-lot variability in constituents. Understandably, this makes identification and isolation of any specific active constituent complex and laborious. The extracts may be oily or hydrophilic and contain compounds such as a-bisabolol, xanthines, polyphenols, and phytosterols.There is great potential in the use of plant extracts for irritation and sensitization reduction. This has been established within the cosmetic industry, and interest here has stimulated activity into reducing variability by more consistent cultivation techniques and more standardized extraction methods.

Cola or pepper—Soda water designated by any name which includes the word cola or pepper shall contain caffeine from kola nut extract and/or other natural caffeine- containing extracts. Also, caffeine may be added to any soda water. The total caffeine content in the finished food shall not exceed 0.02% by weight. 

Another group of natural flavoring ingredients comprises those obtained by extraction from certain plant products such as vanilla beans, Hcotice root, St. John s bread, orange and lemon peel, coffee, tea, kola nuts, catechu, cherry, elm bark, cocoa nibs, and gentian root. These products are used in the form of alcohohc infusions or tinctures, as concentrations in alcohol, or alcohol—water extractions termed fluid or soHd extracts. Official methods for their preparation and specifications for all products used in pharmaceuticals are described (54,55). There are many flavor extracts for food use for which no official standards exist the properties of these are solely based on suitabiUty for commercial appHcations (56). 

John Pemberton of Atlanta, Georgia, markets Coca-Cola as an alternative to alcohol, which had been banned in the city. The new drink includes extracts of the coca leaf and kola nuts. 

Caffeine is derived by extraction of coffee beans, tea leaves, and kola nuts. It is also prepared synthetically. Much of the caffeine of commerce is a by-product of decaffeinized coffee manufacture. The compound is purified by a series of recrystallizations. Caffeine finds use in medicine and in soft drinks. Caffeine is also available as the hydrobromide and as sodium benzoate, winch is a mixture of caffeine and sodium benzoate, containing 47-50% anhydrous caffeine and 50-53% sodium benzoate. This mixture is more soluble in water than pure caffeine. A number of nonprescription (pain relief) drugs contain caffeine as one of several ingiedients. Caffeine is a known cardiac stimulant and in some persons who consume significant amounts, caffeine can produce ventricular premature beats. 

Caffeine is a naturally occurring substance found in the leaves, seeds, or fruits of more than 60 plants. These include coffee and cocoa beans, kola nuts, tea leaves, guarana (Paulinia cupana) and Paraguay tea. Thus it is present naturally in many beverages, such as coffee, tea, and cola drinks, or is added in small amounts (up to 200 ppm) in some soft drinks and in foods such as chocolate. Caffeine is obtained by solvent or supercritical fluid extraction from green coffee beans, mainly during the preparation of decaffeinated coffee. 

Many organic compounds are obtained from natural sources through extraction. This method takes advantage of the solubility characteristics of a particular organic substance with a given solvent. In the experiment here, caffeine is readily soluble in hot water and is thus separated from the tea leaves. Caffeine is one of the main substances that make up the water solution called tea. Besides being found in tea leaves, caffeine is present in coffee, kola nuts, and cocoa beans. As much as 5% by weight of the leaf material in tea plants consists of caffeine. 

Coca-Cola was originally flavored with extracts from the leaves of the coca plant and the kola nut. Coca is grown in northern South America the Indians of Peru and Bolivia have for centuries chewed the leaves to relieve the pangs of hunger and high mountain cold. The cocaine from the leaves causes local anesthesia of the stomach. It has limited use as a local anesthetic for surgery on the eye, nose, and throat. Unfortunately it is now a widely abused illicit drug. Kola nuts contciin about 3% caffeine as well as a number of other alkaloids. The kola tree is in the same family as the cacao tree from which cocoa cmd chocolate cu-e obtained. Modem cola drinks do not contain cocaine however, Coca-Cola contains 43 mg of caffeine per...

Extract of Coca leaves was formerly mixed in the soft drink Coca-Cola. Pharmacist J. S. Pemberton (1831—1888) of Adanta (Georgia, USA) mixed the extracts of Coca leaves and cola (kola) nuts with syrup and named it Coca-Cola . He added water and began to sell the carbonated drink in 1886 [1]. In 1888, A. G. Chandler (1851—1929) handed over the Coca-Cola s production right, and he began to advertise it as a soft drink without completely advertising the biological effects of this drink. Until 1903, this drink still contained cocaine. 

Caffeine is a natural insecticide, found in the seeds and leaves of certain plants, where it kills insects that feed on the plant. Caffeine is extracted for human consumption from heans of the coffee plant, from Kola nuts, and from the leaves of tea plants. Because it stimulates the central na-vous system, it ten5)orarily prevents drowsiness. Add caffeine s missing lone pairs to its structure. 

Caffeine is a drug with stimulating effects. It is found in foods, beverages, and medicines, and it occurs naturally in plant products such eis coffee, tea, cacao beans, kola nuts, mate drink, and guarana paste. More than 63 species of plants growing in all parts of the world contain caffeine in their leaves, seeds, or fruit. Pure caffeine is obtained (1) as a by-product from the manufacture of decaffeinated coffee, (2) from the extraction of coffee bean and tea leaf waste, and (3) from the methylation of theobromine obtained from cocoa waste. Most Americans consume some caffeine. Recently, there has been considerable concern as to the effect of caffeine on health.
