NATURAL DECAFFEINATION PROCESS USING ETHYL ACETATE (EA) Ethyl Acetate (EA) is an organic compound found in many fruits and vegetables. In this process of caffeine extraction, the green beans are first steamed to expand, then soaked in EA. In the presence of EA, caffeine binds with the compound and is extracted from the bean. The decaffeinated coffee is then removed from the solvent, rinsed and re-dried for consumption.
