Studies on the Stabilities of Red Pepper Oleoresin

고추 oleoresin의 품질안정성(品質安定性)

This experiment was carried out to study the preparations of red pepper oleoresin, the effects of pH and heat treatment on the stabilities of capsanthin and capsaicin in oleoresin state, and the interacting effects of ascorbic acid, metal salts and EDTA on the stabilities of capsanthin in the oleoresin-linoleate aqueous model system. The results were as follows: 1. Acetone was the most effective solvent to extract capsanthin and capsaicin from red pepper powder. The yield of oleoresin extracted with acetone was 14.27%. 2. Capsaicin was more stable at high temperature than capsanthin in oleoresin state. Capsanthin and capsaicin in oleoresin state were comparatively stable in the range (ron) pH 3 to pH 8. 3. Ascorbic acid acted as a prooxidant on the capsanthin oxidation reaction at concentrations up to $10^{-3}M$, but acted as an antioxidant at $10^{-1}M$. 4. The addition of $Cu^{+2}M$ and $Fe^{+3}M$ ions at all concentration increased the prooxidant activity on the degradation of capsanthin in oleoresin state. 5. EDTA showed a strong antioxidation the stability of capsanthin in oleoresin state.

고추가루로부터 acetone을 추출용매(抽出溶媒)로 하여 oleoresin을 제조한 후 capsanthin과 capsaicin의 안정성(安定性)을 검토(檢討)하고, oleoresin-linoleate aqueous model system을 이용하여 ascorbic acid, 금속(金屬), 염류(鹽類), EDTA 등을 첨가하여 capsanthin의 변화(變化)를 측정(測定)한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 추출용매(抽出溶媒)로는 acetone이 가장 효과적이었으며, 고추가루로부터 oleoresin의 수율은 14.2%이었다. 2. Capsaicin은 capsanthin에 비하여 고온에서 상당히 안정하였으며 $pH\;3{\sim}8$에서 oleoresin중의 capsanthin과 capsaicin도 비교적(比較的) 안정하였다. 3. Ascorbic acid를 $10^{-3}M$ 첨가시 capsanthin의 산화반응에 prooxidant로서 작용하였으나 $10^{-1}M$ 첨가시에는 antioxidant로서 작용하였다. 4. $Cu^{+2}M$, $Fe^{+3}M$ 이온은 capsanthin의 산화반응(酸化反應)을 촉진시켰으며 농도(濃度)가 높을수록 영향이 컸다. 5. EDTA는 capsanthin에 대하여 항산화(抗酸化) 효과(效果)를 나타내었다.
