The root of Codonopsis lanceolata has been used in traditional medicine. This study was conducted to confirm the comparative effect of ethanol solvent extraction (CLE) and supercritical carbon dioxide extraction (CLS) of C. lanceolata roots. CLS had higher antioxidant than CLE. For supercritical co-solvent modified carbon dioxide extraction (CLS), it were extracted at 250 bar 50℃ 150 min at a flow rate of ethyl alcohol 3 mL/min for 90min. In addition, CLS inhibited the adipocyte differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells. When treated with the extract at a concentration of 100 μg/mL, the Wnt/β-catenin pathway reporter luciferase activity of HEK 293-TOP cells increased approximately by 3-folds compared to that of the untreated control group. Also, the treatment by CLS (50 μg/mL) showed a significant increase of involucrin expression. These results indicate that supercritical carbon dioxide extract of C. lanceolatamay serve as a cosmeceutical agent for improving skin barrier function and the treatment of obesity.

본 연구는 구기자 종자를 초임계유체 추출한 후 in vitro 미백활성과 항균 실험을 실시하였으 며, 추출물을 에멀션에 적용하여 안정성 평가를 수행하기 위해 pH, 점도, 에멀션 입자를 관찰하였다. 그 결과 미백활성의 경우 750 μg/mL에서 81.86 %의 미백 활성을 나타내었으며, 항균효과의 경우 Staphylococcus epidermidis, Candida albicans, Escherichia coli 균에서 항균효과가 나타났다. 또한 추 출물을 함유한 에멀션 물리적 안정성 평가에서 점도와 pH가 28일 동안 큰 변화가 없었으며 유화물 입 자 관찰 시 경시변화에 따른 합일과 분리현상이 확인되지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 화장품소재로서의 구기 자 씨앗 추출물이 유용되게 활용될 수 있는 가능성을 가진 것으로 평가된다.

This study was carried out to investigate the emulsifying properties of surface-active substances from defatted rapeseed cake by supercritical CO₂extraction. Based on the interfacial tension data, a supercritical fluid extract (SFE) with the lowest value of 14.16 mN/m was chosen for evaluation which was obtained from No. 2 extraction condition (150 bar, 65℃, 250 g). For emulsions with SFE, some physicochemical properties (i.e., fat globule size, creaming stability, zeta potential etc) were investigated according to changes in SFE concentration, pH, and NaCl addition in an emulsion. It was found that fat globule size was decreased with increasing SFE concentration in emulsion, with showing a critical value at 0.5 wt%, thereby resulting in less susceptibility to creaming behavior. The SFE emulsion also showed instability at acidic conditions (pH<7.0) as well as by NaCl addition. This was coincided with zeta potential data of emulsion. In addition, SSL (sodium stearoyl lactylate) found to be suitable as a co-surfactant, as it helped considerably in decreasing fat globule size in emulsions and its optimum concentration to be over 0.03 wt%, based on 0.1 wt% SFE in emulsion.

The study indicated that antimicrobial activity about gram positive and gram negative bacteria of ginger-oleoresin(GO) extract with the condition of ethanol and supercritical fluid extractions. As the concentration of extraction increases, the clear zone of GO ethanol extract also increased dependently. This led the antimicrobial activity of gram positive bacteria to take bigger place than gram negative bacteria especially in Listeria monocytogenes. There was a high antimicrobial activity in E-III treatment where the ratio of the ginger powder extract to ethanol extraction was 1:6. It was quite effective to treat the antimicrobial activity of GO ethanol extract under 80oC and there was not big difference in the intervals which were the extraction time - 1 to 7 hours. The antimicrobial activity of supercritical fluid extract seemed to take the biggest place in Listeria monocytogenes. From the supercritical fluid extract, it was shown the strong ability of antimicrobial activity in the condition with 100 bar 35oC, 250 bar 35oC and 250 bar 65oC. Furthermore, according to the case of solvent extract, there was not any significant difference in the antimicrobial activity with condition of extraction. However, there was significant antimicrobial activity in E-III treatment of 100 bar and 500 bar of extraction pressure, and 35oC and 65oC of extraction temperature.

유기용매와 초임계유체를 사용하여 대두분말에서 지방성분을 추출하는 공정에서 분말화공정(분쇄)의 시간의 변화에 따른 입자도와 초고압처리에 의한 추출속도를 측정하였다. 대두분말의 입자가 작을수록 추출속도가 향상되었으면 이는 입자의 크기가 작아짐에 따라 전체적인 표면적이 증가하여 고-액추출에서 중요한 반응기작인 물질전달속도를 증가시켰기 때문이라 판단된다. 초고압공정을 적용 시 동일한 입자크기에서 추출속도가 현저히 향상되었으며 이는 대두분말 내부에서 발생하는 확산현상에 대한 저항이 초고압상태에서의 변화로 감소되었기 때문이라 사료된다. 초임계유출에 의한 추출은 수율이 낮은 단점이 있으나 입자의 크기가 큰 상태에서는 초고압처리를 전처리로 사용할 경우 시간당 추출량을 상당부분 증가시킬 수 있음을 보여주었으나, 입자크기가 작을 경우 초고압처리가 영향을 미치지 못함을 보여주었다.

초임계 CO2유체를 이용하여 미강 중 표면활성물질을 추출하고 추출물의 표면활성능을 최적화하는 추출 조건을 반응표면분석법을 통해 조사하고자 하였다. 추출수율은 독립변수인 압력, 온도, 보조용매량이 많을수록 높았으며, 보조용매량이 추출수율에 가장 큰 영향을 주었다. 회귀분석을 통해서 얻은 최적 추출 조건은 추출압력 330 bar, 추출온도 65oC, 보조용매량 250 g이었다. 표면활성능 지표인 계면장력은 추출압력과 추출온도가 증가할수록 그리고 보조용매량이 높을수록 낮았으며, 추출수율과 마찬가지로 보조용매량이 계면장력에 가장 큰 영향을 주었지만 추출압력과 추출온도 등의 변수에 의한 영향은 비교적 적었다. 회귀분석을 통해서 얻은 최적 추출 조건(낮은 계면장력)은 추출압력 350 bar, 추출온도 65oC, 보조용매량 50 g이었다. 또한 D-optimal design을 통해 얻은 실험 결과를 바탕으로 회귀분석을 하였을 때 예측모델식은 실제 측정값과 비교해 높은 유의성을 나타내는 것으로 판단되었다. 보조용매량이 많을수록 극성 물질이 더 많이 추출되어 낮은 계면장력 값을 예상하였지만 실제 측정 결과 보조용매량이 가장 낮은 조건인 50 g에서 계면장력은 가장 낮게 측정되었다. 이의 규명을 위하여 TLC 및 HPLC 분석을 통한 추출물에 대한 성분 조사, 추출물을 이용한 유화액 제조, 유화액 특성 평가 등 추가 실험이 필요한 것으로 사료되었다.

In order to optimize the supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) conditions of ginger oleoresin (GO), we conducted an evaluation of quality properties such as yield (%), color, volatile flavor compounds and gingerol components. The extraction yield gained by SFE increased as extraction pressure and temperature increased. The highest yield was 8.96 ± 0.68% at 500 bar 65℃ extraction condition. The total color difference (ΔE) values decreased at high pressure. In case of the 100 bar pressure conditions, ΔE-values increased as the temperature went up. The analysis of the 6-gingerol, 8-gingerol, 10-gingerol, 6-shogaol and curcumin contents decreased at high temperature conditions of identical pressure and increased at high pressure conditions. The volatile flavor compounds were detected in zingiberene,β-sesquiphellandre, β-phellandre, αγ-curcumene, 2,3-butandiol, β-bisabolene and so on. Also volatile component contents showed difference in each of extraction conditions.

Supercritical carbondioxide is very effective in removing oils from a variety of seed matrices, devoid of any appreciable amount of phospholipid content. However, the limited solubility of phosphalipids in supercritical carbondioxide leaves behind a potentially valuable by-product in spent seed matrix. Any phospholipid extraction process from the spent matrix must maintain the structure and the quality of phospholipids and must be compatible with the end use of the seed protein meal an animal feed or for human consumption. An initial supercritical carbondioxide extraction of soybean flakes was performed at 32 MPa and 80℃ to extract the oils, leaving the phospholipids in the deflatted soybean flakes, A second step was performed on the defatted soybean flake using Xeth=0.10, Varying the pressure from 175 MPa to 70.6 MPa and temperature from 60℃ to 80℃. For all supercritical carbon dioxide/ethanol mixture extractions, a fraction rich in phospholipids was obtained. The fractions extracted from defatted soybean flakes were dried and them redissolved in chloroform before HPLC-ELSD analysis. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of phospholipids on soybean seeds, defatted soybean flake, and different extracted phospholipid fractions was carried out, to ascertain the effect of extraction pressure and temperature.

Curcumin, the major yellow-colored pigment in turmeric(Curcuma longa L.), was extracted by using supercritical carbon dioxide. Optimum extraction conditions were determined. Overall experiments were planned by central composite design and results were analyzed by response surface methodology to find effects of three independent variables, temperature(X1), co-solvent flow rate(X2) and pressure(X3) on the yield of curcumin extract(Y). Regression model optimized by response surface analysis was as follows Y = -8.581270 + 0.220770X1 + 1.176731X2 + 0.036873X3 + -0.0026816X12 - 0.013010X2X1 - 0.103353X22 + 0.000198X3X1 - 0.0000825X3X2 - 0.000096554X32. Optimum temperature, pressure and co-solvent flow rate for extracting curcumin from turmeric were 40.31oC, 3.07 ml/min and 231.59bar, respectively, and statistical maximum yield of curcumin was 1.922%.

초임계 유체 추출 공정을 이용하여 참깨에서 hydrocarbon류를 검출하여 참깨의 방사선 조사 여부 검지 전처리 기술에 활용하고자 하였다. 참깨를 2 kGy의 감마선을 조사하여 hexane으로 지방을 추출한 용매 추출과 초임계 유체 추출을 이용하여 추출한 지방을 Florisil column으로 분리한 후 hydrocarbon류를 GC-MS로 분석하였다. 용매 추출에서와 같이 초임계 유체 추출 공정을 이용하여 검출된 hydrocarbon류은 동일하게 검지되었으며 그 marker로써 활용 가능한 hydrocarbon류인 16:3, 17:2, 16:2, 17:1은 비조사 참깨에서는 검출되지 않았다. 보조 용매를 사용한 초임계 추출 공정에서 각 보조용매에서 추출된 지방량은 용매 추출보다 많았으며 보조용매를 사용하여 검출된 hydrocarbon류의 검출량은 methanol을 제외하고 전반적으로 많이 검출되었다. 특히 acetone의 경우 marker로 사용가능한 hydrocarbon류는 용매 추출에서보다 3-4배 정도, CO2만을 사용한 초임계 유체 추출 공정에서 보다 거의 2배의 검출 특성을 보여주었다. 이러한 결과는 초임계 유체 추출 공정이 방사선 조사 여부 검지 기술에 있어서 기존의 용매 추출에 비해 지방 추출시 용매 소모량의 감소, hydrocarbon류의 검출량 증가 등의 이유로 hydrocarbon류의 검지 기술에 있어 전처리 기술로 활용 가능하리라 사료된다.
