MC/ Methyl Chloride Decaf
MC/ Methyl Chloride Decaf: A decaffeination method that uses methyl chloride (dichloromethane) as a chemical solvent to selectively remove caffeine from green coffee beans. In this process, pre-soaked beans are washed repeatedly with the solvent, which bonds specifically to the caffeine molecules without significantly stripping away the complex compounds responsible for the coffee's flavor profile. After solvent extraction, the beans are thoroughly steamed and dried to ensure all residual solvent is eliminated to meet strict food safety standards.
