This study was performed to survey and evaluate the contents of caffeine in commercial palatability foods by HPLC. The contents of caffeine in commercial palatability foods were 9.0-49.2 mg in black tea, 35.9-141.4 mg in coffee, 12.4-48.0 mg in green tea, 7.1-16.5 mg in brown rice green tea, 22.8 mg in cocoa tea, 10.3-25.0 mg in cola and 10.0-48.2 mg in ice bar(coffee) respectively. The contents of caffeine extracted from black tea, coffee(roasted beans) and green tea were rapidly increased for five minutes from the extraction initiation, and were not nearly changed after ten minutes. Moreover, the caffeine contents were increased until 100℃ of extraction temperature.
