Anhydrous Caffeine

What is anhydrous caffeine and what are its properties?

Pure anhydrous caffeine is a white, odorless powder with a bitter taste. It is moderately soluble in water at room temperature and in ethanol. However, it dissolves very well in boiling water. It is a compound produced mainly in young coffee leaves and gradually increases its content as these parts of the plant mature. Caffeine can be easily isolated and then used to produce many preparations intended for consumption as well as for external use.

Caffeine is a compound that is quickly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and then efficiently distributed throughout the body. It penetrates the aqueous space of tissues through cell membranes. Studies indicate that this substance is sufficiently hydrophobic to cross the blood-brain barrier and the placental barrier. Caffeine is almost completely metabolized in the liver, and only 2% is excreted unchanged in the urine.
