الملخص EN

The nature of caffeine reveals that it is a bitter white crystalline alkaloid.

It is a common ingredient in a variety of drinks (soft and energy drinks) and is also used in combination with various medicines.

In order to maintain the optimum level of caffeine, various spectrophotometric methods have been developed.

The monitoring of caffeine is very important aspect because of its consumption in higher doses that can lead to various physiological disorders.

This paper incorporates various spectrophotometric methods used in the analysis of caffeine in various environmental samples such as pharmaceuticals, soft and energy drinks, tea, and coffee.

A range of spectrophotometric methodologies including chemometric techniques and derivatization of spectra have been used to analyse the caffeine.
