Caffeine can be effectively extracted and separated from pharmaceutical formulations as well as various food samples, and its content can subsequently be analyzed using gravimetric methods. Caffeine is a widely consumed psychoactive compound and is classified as an addictive stimulant. It exerts multiple physiological effects on the human body, including stimulation of the central nervous system, elevation of heart rate, and an increase in respiratory activity. In addition, it possesses psychotropic properties, influencing mood and alertness, while also functioning as a mild diuretic that promotes urine production.
Given its broad physiological impact and widespread consumption, the accurate determination and quantification of caffeine in pharmaceuticals and food products is of great importance. From a healthcare perspective, monitoring caffeine levels is essential to ensure consumer safety, prevent excessive intake, and support regulatory compliance regarding permissible limits.
