해양 녹조류인 청각에 함유되어 있는 chlorophyll을 유기용매를 사용하여 추출한 후 chlorophyll의 안정성을 증가시키기 위한 조건을 확립하였다. 추출 용매로 사용된 acetone, ethanol 그리고 methanol 중 methanol이 가장 효과적이었으며, 추출 수율은 건조 중량으로 이었다. TLC 및 HPLC 분석을 통하여 청각 색소에는 chlorophyll a 와 chlorophyll b가 주성분이며, 이들은 각각 0.40
The extraction yield and storage stability of Codium fragile pigments extracted in acetone, ethanol or methanol were studied. Methanol was the most effective solvent for pigment extraction, providing an extraction yield of (my base). As shown by TLC and HPLC analysis, chlorophyll a(0.40 mg/g) and chlorophyll b(1.94 mg/g) were the major pigment components in dried Codium fragile. The total chlorophyll content of Codium fragile stored a 40C in light or dark conditions for 30 weeks remained at 23.2% and 58.4% respectively. The effect of metal ions (, , and ) on pigment stability was analyzed Among the four metal ions was the most effective stabilizer of Codium fragile pigments during storage, and ion was the second most effective. In the presence of 1 mM , the total chlorophyll retained in Codium fragile stored at 40C in light or dark conditions was increased to 47.0% and 88.8% after 30 weeks storage, respectively. The optimum concentrations of and for pigment stabilization under dark conditions were 0.5 mM and 0.1 mM, respectively.
