2. Summary of Extraction Results under Optimized Conditions.

extraction conditions caffeine yield (mg/100 mg CB) observations
65 °C, 15 min, L/L ratio 1:1 (HDES2) 0.765 ± 0.007 the optimized conditions using the dl-menthol/acetic acid solvent (HDES2) led to superior caffeine yield, compared to HDES1.
65 °C, 15 min, L/L ratio 1:1 (HDES1) 0.610 ± 0.010 the caffeine yield using dl-menthol/hexanoic acid (HDES1) was lower than with HDES2, under identical conditions.
65 °C, 15 min, L/L ratio 0.33 1.108 ± 0.008 the highest caffeine yield was achieved, but at the cost of significantly higher solvent usage and energy requirements for recovery.
