Abstract: The influences of microwave pretreatment on the extraction rate of caffeine and EGCG from green tea with supercritical CO2(SC-CO2) extraction technology were analyzed. And through orthogonal experiments, the best parameter of decaffeination from tea with SC-CO2 extraction technology was ascertained. The result showed that the decaffeination rate from the tea under microwave pretreatment could improve obviously, but the influences on EGCG was small, by using the orthogonal design test , the order of the influences factors on decaffeination rate of the caffeine is extracting pressure>Extracting temperature> entrainer>water content of the tea.

Key words: Supercritical CO2 extraction, Microwave pretreatment, Green tea, Caffeine, EGCG
