    (Sociedade Brasileira de Química, 2008) Azevedo, Álvaro Bandeira Antunes de; Kieckbusch, Theo Guenter; Tashima, Alexandre Keiji; Mohamed, Rahoma Sadeg; Mazzafera, Paulo; Melo, Silvio Alexandre Beisl Vieira de
    The caffeine solubility in supercritical CO2 was studied by assessing the effects of pressure and temperature on the extraction of green coffee oil (GCO). The Peng-Robinson¹ equation of state was used to correlate the solubility of caffeine with a thermodynamic model and two mixing rules were evaluated: the classical mixing rule of van der Waals with two adjustable parameters (PR-VDW) and a density dependent one, proposed by Mohamed and Holder² with two (PR-MH, two parameters adjusted to the attractive term) and three (PR-MH3 two parameters adjusted to the attractive and one to the repulsive term) adjustable parameters. The best results were obtained with the mixing rule of Mohamed and Holder² with three parameters.
