Abstract

Studies for the commercial production of sesame oil using th supercriticl carbon dioxide were made. Characteristics of sesame oil containing one of natural antioxidant 'sesamol', which only exist at sesame seed were also studied during the supercritical fluid extraction. Among the various factors influencing the sesamol contents in the sesame oil, the roasting time and temperature were checked, because sesamol can be converted from sesamol in through pyrolysis. We found that the sesamol content was increased rapidly under the condition of roasting temperature over $200^{\circ}C$ with longer roasting time. The sesamol content was increased as the temperature and pressure increased, which was caused by increase of solubility of sesamol against sesamol oil. And the sesamol content was increased also with lower speed of supercritical fluid, which increased the contact time with the raw material. The sesamol content was also increased using water increase up to $1\%$ as the entrainer. When the extraction performance with the supercritical fluid was compared to the conventional compressed extraction, the sesamol content was increased up to 11.5 times with the entrainer.

초임계 유체를 이용하여 참기름을 생산하기 위한 기초 연구로 참깨에만 존재하는 천연항산화제인 세사몰을 고함 유한 참기름의 특성에 대해 연구하였다. 참깨의 볶음온도와 시간, 초임계 유체의 압력과 온도 그리고 초임계 유체의 유속 그리고 보조용매로 물을 사용시 세사몰의 함량에 미치는 영향에 대해 연구하였다. 그 결과 참깨를 $200^{\circ}C$ 이상 배전시 급격히 세사몰 양이 증가하였고, 배전시간을 늘림으로써 그 양을 더욱 증가시킬 수 있었다. 초임계 유체추출시 세사몰 함량은 온도와 압력 증가에 따라 증가하였다. 그리고 초임계 유체의 유속의 경우 유속을 오히려 낮췄을 때 세사몰의 함량이 증가하였는데 이는 유속이 낮아짐으로서 시료와의 접촉시간이 증가하므로 세사몰의 추출메카니즘이 확산에 의해 이뤄짐을 알 수 있었다. 보조용매로 물을 $0{\~}1\%$로 증가함으로서 세사몰의 함량이 증가되었다. 이상의 결과를 토대로 기존 압출추출방법과 초임계 추출 방법을 비교한 결과 기존 방법 대비 세사몰 함량이 6.6배, 보조 용매 사용시 11.5배 증가함을 확인할 수 있었다.
