Abstract

The determination of the caffeine content of coffee beans is the most popular way to solve the problem related to the level caffeine in coffee. In the present study, the caffeine level of Guji coffee beans was determined using the Ultra- Violet visible spectrometer Analysis Method. The coffee samples were collected from the coffee supplier farmer cooperatives union in Bule Hora. The sample was roasted and grinding using grinding for caffeine extraction. The obtained data by the study were compared with the caffeine levels that determined by different researchers from different selected sites, and indicates that the values of the results ranged from (1.04 ±0.0010 to 1.31±0.0021)% using ultraviolet-visible. The levels of caffeine from Hambella Wammana (1.31 ±0.0020)% was high, and that of Kercha (1.04 ±0.0010)% is low, and claimed that the caffeine levels of coffee beans of the same species that growth on different regions were varied due to different vital factors that influences amount caffeine in coffee beans. Generally, the study demonstrated that the caffeine level from selected areas of Guji Zone confirms the caffeine level of arabica coffee informed by the literature.
