건고추로부터 올레오레진을 신소가게 추출하고자 기존 추출방법들에 비하여 신속성과 환경친화성이 인정되고 있는 극초단파 추출공정에 필요한 몇 가지 기본조건을 검토하였다. 극초단파 추출에서 건고추의 입자 크기는 60 mesh, 시료와 용매(에탄올)의 비는 1:10(g/mL)이 적당하였고, 에너지 용량은 50 W에서 올레오레진과 capsanthin에 대한 추출효율이 가장 높게 나타났다. 가용성 고형분은 에탄올농도가 낮을수록 증가하였으나 capsanthin
Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE, 2,450 MHz), which is known as a rapid and more environmental-friendly process than current extraction methods, was applied to oleoresin extractions from dried pepper. As fundamental parameters of MAE, optimum conditions were found, such as 60 mesh in particle size of the sampes, 1:10(g/mL) powders was high at lower concentrations of ethanol, whereas capsanthin content remarkably increased at more than 75% of ethanol concentration. The results showed that MAE of oleoresin and capsanthin from red pepper powders was successful in 3 to 5 min of the extraction time.
