Effect of Some Factors on Oleoresin Extraction from Red Pepper

고추 Oleoresin의 추출에 영향을 미치는 몇가지 인자

To investigate some factors on oleoresin extraction from red pepper, the content of yield, capsanthin and capsaicin in oleoresin extracted under various factors such as solvent, variety of materials, extraction time and temperature, storage condition of dried red pepper and its parts, particle size of raw material powder and the ratios of red pepper powder to extraction solvent were investigated. Ethyl alcohol and ethylene dichloride were effective in extracting capsanthin and capsaicin from red pepper, respectively. Mixed-solvent bore fruitful in increasing of oleoresin yield, but was fruitless in extracting capsanthin and capsaicin in comparison with single-solvent. In three varieties such as Juktoma, Jinsol and Dabok, Jinsol was excellent in oleoresin extraction. Optimum extracting temperature and time was $20^{\circ}C$ and three to five hours, respectively. Oleoresin quality from long-term storage and/or coarse red pepper were low in point of yield, capsanthin and capsaicin. Capsanthin and capsaicin were distributed into pericarp and seed in abundance, respectively. Optimum mixing ratio of red pepper powder to extracting solvent was suitable for one to three(1 : 3) or one to four(1 : 4) in oleoresin extraction.

고추 oleoresin의 적정 추출조건을 설정하기 위하여 추출에 영향을 미치는 몇 가지 인자들을 대상으로 oleoresin의 수율, capsanthin 및 capsaicin 함량의 변화를 조사하였다. Ethyl alcohol 용매로 추출한 oleoresin은 수율 및 capsanthin 함량이 높고, Ethylene dichloride 용매의 경우는 capsaicin 함량이 높게 나타났다. 혼합용매의 경우는 단일용매의 경우보다 수율은 증가하나 capsanthin 및 capsaicin 함량은 거의 변화가 없었다. 추출에 사용한 3가지 품종 중에서 진솔에서 추출한 oleoresin의 품질이 가장 우수하였다. 적정 추출온도 및 추출시간은 $20^{\circ}C$ 및 $3{\sim}5$시간이었다. 장기 저장한 고추일수록 고추분말의 입도가 클수록 추출되는 oleoresin의 품질은 저하되고, 함량도 적었다 고추의 과피에는 capsanthin이 씨에는 capsaicin이 가장 많았다. 고추분말과 추출용매의 적정혼합비는 $1\;:\;3{\sim}1\;:\;4(w/v)$였다.
