METHOD OF SEPARATING AND GATHERING CAPSAICINOID AND CAROTENOID FROM RED PEPPER (CAPSICIUM ANNUUM L.) USING SUPERCRITICAL FLUID EXTRACTION

摘要

PURPOSE: A separating method is provided to extract capsaicinoid and carotenoid from red pepper without using organic solvent, and to prevent the denaturation and destruction of effective component. CONSTITUTION: (a) One to four percent of yield fraction is collected from red pepper by supercritical carbon dioxide extraction on condition that the temperature is 30-50°C and the pressure is 1500-2500 psi. (b) One to four percent of yield fraction is collected from red pepper of (a) step by supercritical carbon dioxide extraction on condition that the temperature is 30-50°C and the pressure is 6000-7500 psi. (c) One to four percent of yield fraction is collected from the red pepper by supercritical carbon dioxide extraction on condition that the temperature is 30-50°C and the pressure is 6000-7500 psi. The pressure condition in (a) step is 1500-2000 psi. The temperature condition in (a) step is 35-45°C. The temperature condition in (b) step is 35-45°C.
