I wonder if they have stopped using water and solvents, methylene chloride or ethyl acetate? Himself is a chemist and we were talking about decaf. They used to use formaldehyde, too. 😱

Birgit said...

I had no idea that's how it is done. I always wondered about that.

Jeanie said...

Christine, Donna and Birgit, I should add and solvents or strained through carbon.
Good job Val and Denise.

Sandra Cox said...

EC, Yay you;)
Elizabeth, Hils, Birgit and Andrew, A bit of an over simplification. They add solvents or strain through carbon.
CJ, I think in one of the processes they still add the solvents, don't they? Formaldehyde? Ack. Ack. Ack.
