A NOVEL PROCESS FOR THE BIO-DECAFFEINATION OF CAFFEINE

摘要

The present invention relates to a novel, simple, safe, and efficient process for the complete bio-decaffeination of caffeine-containing solutions using Pseudomonas alcaligenes CFR 1708, a method of isolating pseudomonas alcaligenes CFR 1708 useful for the bio-decaffeination of caffeine-containing solutions, a Pseudomonas alcaligenes strain of accession number CFR 1708, and a decaffeinated solution obtained by aforementioned process.
