Molecule of the Week: Caffeine

November 11, 2006

Ah, caffeine. For many people, productivity at school, work, and home would slip without a morning dose of this alkaloid found in tea leaves, coffee beans, cocoa beans, and kola nuts. Caffeine acts as a central nervous system and respiratory stimulant and is also a diuretic.

caffeine

caffeine (chemical compound)

"Caffeine". An odorless, bitter alkaloid responsible for the stimulating effect of coffee and tea.

"Coffea Canephora". Also Robusta. Currently the only significant competitor among cultivated coffee species to Coffea arabica. Robusta produces about 30% of the world's coffee. It is a lower-growing, higher-bearing tree that produces full-bodied but bland coffee of inferior cup quality and higher "caffeine" content than Coffea arabica. It is used as a basis for blends of instant coffee, and for less expensive blends of preground commercial coffee. It is not a factor in the specialty coffee trade except as a body-enhancing component in some Italian-style espresso blends.

"Decaffeination Processes". Specialty coffees are decaffeinated in the green state, currently by one of four methods. The direct solvent method involves treating the beans with solvent, which selectively unites with the "caffeine" and is removed from the beans by steaming. The indirect solvent or solvent-water method involves soaking the green beans in hot water, removing the "caffeine" from the hot water by means of a solvent, and recombining the water with the beans, which are then dried. Both processes using solvents often are called European Process or Traditional Process. The water-only method, commonly known by the proprietary name Swiss Water ProcessTM, involves the same steps, but removes the "caffeine" from the water by allowing it to percolate through a bed of activated charcoal. In the carbon dioxide method, which is only beginning to be established in the specialty-coffee trade, the "caffeine" is stripped directly from the beans by a highly compressed semi-liquid form of carbon dioxide.

"Robusta", "Coffea Canephora". Currently the only significant competitor among cultivated coffee species to Coffea arabica. Robusta produces about 30% of the world's coffee. It is a lower-growing, higher-bearing tree that produces full-bodied but bland coffee of inferior cup quality and higher "caffeine" content than Coffea arabica. It is used as a basis for blends of instant coffee, and for less expensive blends of preground commercial coffee. It is not a factor in the specialty coffee trade except as a body-enhancing component in some Italian-style espresso blends. See also Coffea Arabica.

"Swiss Water Process". A trademarked decaffeination method that removes "caffeine" from coffee beans using hot water, steam, and activated charcoal rather than chemicals or solvents.

"Traditional Process", "European Process". A group of decaffeination methods that use solvents to remove "caffeine" from green coffee beans. The direct solvent method involves treating the beans with solvent, which selectively unites with the "caffeine" and is removed from the beans by steaming. The indirect solvent or solvent-water method involves soaking the green beans in hot water, removing the "caffeine" from the hot water by means of a solvent, and recombining the water with the beans, which are then dried.

caffeine

If you’re looking for youth, you’re looking for longevity, just take a dose of rock ’n’ roll. Hank Ballard, in a 1966 radio interview; quoted in his Associated Press obituary (March 4, 2003)

Ballard, who wrote “The Twist” in 1958 and released it in early 1959 as a B-Side (to “Teardrops on Your Letter”) continued: “It keeps you going, just like the "caffeine" in your coffee. Rock ’n’ Roll is good for the soul, for the well-being, for the psyche, for your everything.”

? What hashish was to Baudelaire, opium to Coleridge, cocaine to Robert Louis Stevenson, nitrous oxide to Robert Southey, mescaline to Aldous Huxley, and Benzedrine to Jack Kerouac, "caffeine" was to Balzac. Anne Fadiman, in At Large and At Small: Familiar Essays (2007)

AUTHOR NOTE: Balzac, who often worked up to eighteen hours a day, drank forty to fifty cups of coffee a day. Over time, he gradually reduced the amount of water used in order to concentrate the "caffeine" dosage. Near the end of his life, he eliminated the water entirely, simply eating dry coffee grounds (many believe he ultimately died of "caffeine" poisoning). Balzac was the prototype of a person who carries things to excess. In The Literary Life and Other Curiosities (1981), Robert Hendrickson called him the world's greatest literary glutton, writing: “A typical meal for the French novelist consisted of a hundred oysters for starters; twelve lamb cutlets; a duckling with turnips; two roast partridges; sole a la Normandy; various fruits; and wines, coffee, and liqueurs to wash it all down.”

Writing is about hypnotizing yourself into believing in yourself, getting some work done, then unhypnotizing yourself and going over the material coldly. Anne Lamott, in Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life (1994)

The act of writing turns out to be its own reward. Anne Lamott, in Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life (1994)

Lamott preceded the observation by writing: “Writing has so much to give, so much to teach, so many surprises. The thing you had to force you to do — the actual act of writing — turns out to be the best part. It’s like discovering that while you thought you needed the tea ceremony for the "caffeine", what you really needed was the tea ceremony.”

"caffeine" (n.) trimethyl-derivative of xanthine, 1830, from German "Kaffein", coined by chemist F.F. Runge (1795-1867), apparently from German "Kaffee" "coffee" (see "coffee") + chemical suffix "-ine" (2) (German "-in"). The form of the English word may be via French "caféine".

"Caffeine" ("C8H10N4O2"), known medically as "1,3,7-trimethylxanthine", is a legal stimulant and diuretic used by a large percentage of the Earth's human inhabitants. It can be found naturally in drinks like coffee and tea, and has been artificially introduced into sodas like 'Coke', 'Mountain Dew', and 'Surge'. Additionally, small amounts can be found in solid foods like chocolate. The primary method of obtaining pure caffeine is through the decaffeination of coffee and tea, and in this state caffeine appears as a fine white powder. When ingested, this powder is very bitter.

Quiz: Myths and Facts About Caffeine

"Caffeine" is a "central nervous system" ("CNS") stimulant of the methylxanthine class. It is the world's most widely consumed psychoactive drug, but — unlike many other psychoactive substances — it is legal and unregulated in nearly all parts of the world. There are several known mechanisms of action to explain the effects of caffeine. The most prominent is that it reversibly blocks the action of adenosine on its receptor and consequently prevents the onset of drowsiness induced by adenosine. Caffeine also stimulates certain portions of the autonomic nervous system.

"Chicory"
Botanical: "Cichorium intybus" (LINN.)
Family: N.O. Compositae
Synonyms: "Succory". "Wild Succory". "Hendibeh". "Barbe de Capucin".
Habitat

"Wild Chicory" or "Succory" is not uncommon in many parts of England and Ireland, though by no means a common plant in Scotland.
...
History

It has been suggested that the name "Succory" came from the Latin "succurrere" ("to run under"), because of the depth to which the root penetrates. It may, however be a corruption of "Chicory", or "Ctchorium", a word of Egyptian origin, which in various forms is the name of the plant in practically every European language. The Arabian physicians called it "Chicourey". "Intybus", the specific name of the "Chicory", is a modification of another Eastern name for the plant - "Hendibeh". The "Endive", an allied but foreign species (a native of southern Asia and northern provinces of China) derives both its common and specific names from the same word. The "Endive" and the "Succory" are the only two species in the genus "Cichorium". There is little doubt that the "Cichorium" mentioned by Theophrastus as in use amongst the ancients was the "wild Chicory", since the names by which the wild plant is known in all the languages of modern Europe are merely corruptions of the original Greek word, while there are different names in the different countries for the "Garden Endive".
...

"Chicory". The root of the "endive", roasted and ground, it is blended with coffee in New Orleans style coffee.

"New Orleans Coffee". Traditionally, dark-roast coffee blended with up to forty percent roasted and ground chicory root. Most New Orleans blends sold in specialty stores today contain no chicory, however. They are essentially dark-roast blends, heavy on dry-processed Brazil coffees.

"chicory" (n.) late 14c., "cicoree" (modern form from mid-15c.), from Middle French "cichorée" "endive", "chicory" (15c., Modern French "chicorée"), from Latin "cichoreum", from Greek "kikhorion" (plural "kikhoreia") "endive", which is of unknown origin. Klein suggests a connection with Old Egyptian "keksher". The modern English form is from French influence.

Chicory

There are three types of chicory: forcing types like "Witloof" grown for their plump leafy heads or "chicons" when blanched; "red chicory" or "radicchio" which responds to change in day length by turning red; finally non-forcing or sugar loaf types that produce large hearted lettuce-like heads (heading forms) for autumn harvest. Chicory is used as a bitter flavouring to autumn and spring salads - add tomatoes or sweet dressing to reduce bitterness.

Why It's Not So Unreasonable to Spell "Espresso" With an "X"

By Ben Yagoda
...
"Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary of English Usage", predictably, is less judgmental, allowing only (on the matter of correctness) that "espresso" "is undoubtedly favored by the cognoscenti". (And good on "MWDEU" for resisting the urge to say "snobs"!) The dictionary explains that the drink is known in Italy, where it originated, as "caffe espresso", or just "espresso" for short. It goes on: "Contrary to a popular belief of English-speakers, the "espresso" means not just "fast" but "pressed out" — it refers to the process by which the coffee is made, not the speed of the process. The idea that "caffe espresso" means "fast coffee" may have contributed somewhat to the occurrence in English of the variant "expresso"."

The "Mooreeffoc"

So, you say you've read Chesterton, and Tolkien, and Dickens, and Rowling, and you know all the strange names for their characters and creatures... I ask you, on your honour as a knight, a defender of Notting Hill, a true seneschal of the High Court of Beacon, a card-carrying member of the Last Crusade:

Do you know the Mooreeffoc?
...
"Mooreeffoc" is a fantastic word, but it could be seen written up in every town in this land. It is "Coffee-room", viewed from the inside through a glass door, as it was seen by Dickens on a dark London day; and it was used by Chesterton to denote the "queerness of things that have become trite, when they are seen suddenly from a new angle". That kind of "fantasy" most people would allow to be wholesome enough; and it can never lack for material. But it has, I think, only a limited power; for the reason that recovery of freshness of vision is its only virtue.

Mooreeffoc

I was reading about Yemen this morning and I thought of the immensely useful word mooreeffoc. My train of thought went something like this.
...
But the greatest, the most exalted, the king of caffeinated words is "mooreeffoc". It was invented by Charles Dickens himself, which is a good thing for any word. Here is the word at the moment of its birth in Dickens' autobiography describing a coffee shop in St Martin's Lane:

In the door there was an oval glass plate, with "COFFEE-ROOM" painted on it, addressed towards the street. If I ever find myself in a very different kind of "coffee-room" now, but where there is such an inscription on glass, and read it backward on the wrong side "MOOR-EEFFOC" (as I often used to do then, in a dismal reverie,) a shock goes through my blood.
...
J.R.R.Tolkein took up the word (or "Chestertonian fantasy" as he called it) in his essay On Fairy Stories, where he defined it as "the queerness of things that have become trite when they are seen suddenly from a new angle".
...

...
It is a strange and "mooreeffocish" thing to look upon the photograph of a dear, bald friend in the days when he had hair.

mooreeffoc (n or adj)

Something that appears strange when seen from an unusual angle.

The word comes originally from Charles Dickens, who used it in his abandoned autobiography. He was sitting in a London cafe one day and noticed that "Moor-eeffoc" is "coffee room" spelled backwards; Dickens was looking at the establishment's name from the "wrong" side of the window. G.K. Chesterton and J.R.R. Tolkien later used "mooreeffoc" in print to mean something suddenly seen in a strangely new way. (You might say that David Lynch films are full of mooreeffoc places, objects, and people.)

The Mooreeffoc

"The queerness of things that have become trite, when they are seen suddenly from a new angle." - G. K. Chesterton

(Nolite te bastardes carborundorum.)

Words that made me laugh (Week of April 26, 2004)

These are words, unlikely to fit under any other category, whose theme is simply, "I laughed when I learned of these words." Something, be it the sound, the meaning, or the etymology, was irresistible. I hope they tickle your fancies too.

Tolkien read more into it still in his work On Fairy-stories:

The word Mooreeffoc may cause you to realise that England is an utterly alien land, lost either in some remote past age glimpsed by history, or in some strange dim future reached only by a time-machine; to see the amazing oddity and interest of its inhabitants and their customs and feeding-habits.

"abrogate"

Outlaw's Word of the Day:

Great preparation goes into the development and passage of laws, so when folks want to undo one, it's suitable to have a $50 word for it, and that word is today's word, "abrogate". It means to abolish (a rule or law) authoritatively. The "ab-" bit is a familiar Latin way of saying "away from" or "off". the "-rogate" bit is a great workhorse in English, descended from "rogare", "propose a law", and appearing in various words such as "arrogate", "derogate", "interrogate", and "surrogate".

"arrogate"

Stake Your Claim Word of the Day:

English has a small handful of verbs from Latin "rogare" ("ask", "propose"), all of them worth knowing because of their particular, rather narrow meanings. This one, "arrogate", means "claim (as one's own) unwarrantedly or unjustifiably". You might want to look at its cousins as well: "abrogate", "derogate", "interrogate", and "surrogate".

"surrogate"

Worth Asking Word of the Day:

It's not immediately obvious that "surrogate" is related to other "-ogate" words in English because the others are all verbs and "surrogate", while it exists as a verb, is used mainly as a noun these days. The common ancestor is Latin "rogare", "ask". The verb "surrogate" came first and meant "put in place of another", which lead to the today's noun, a synonym of "substitute".

• "father surrogate" a man who takes over all the functions of the real father
• "parented" having a parent or parents or cared for by parent surrogates
• "parentless" having no parent or parents or not cared for by parent surrogates
• "surrogate" someone who takes the place of another person
• "surrogate mother" a woman who bears a child for a couple where the wife is unable to do so
• "unparented" having no parent or parents or not cared for by parent surrogates

However with lots of hard work and creativity "Miko" managed to survive this difficult period in world history! One of the ideas which kept the business alive during the war years was the decision to start roasting “acorns” just like coffee beans; it made "Miko" the creator of “Acorn Coffee.” This bitter, black derivative also known as "surrogate coffee" was drunk in large volumes throughout the war years. To be frank nothing else and better was available!

"Surrogate data" are artificially generated data which mimic statistical properties of real data. Isospectral surrogates have identical power spectra as real data but with randomized phases. Scrambled surrogates have the same probability distribution as real data, but with white noise power spectra.
