The method of separating pepper red pigment and capsicine from capsicum
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of from capsicum the method for separating pepper red pigment and capsicine, with solvent extraction and supercritical CO
2Abstraction technique combines, and extracts simultaneously, refining obtains Capsorubin and two kinds of products of capsicine, belongs to chemical engineering subject Separation of Natural Products field.
Background technology
Capsorubin and capsicine are two kinds and are present in noticeable composition in the capsicum that the former is good natural edible red pigment, has been widely used in fields such as food, high-grade feed; The latter is a kind of medicinal ingredients, and post-herpetic neuralgia, trigeminal neuralgia, diabetes nerve pain, rheumatic arthritis, osteoarthritis, psoriasis, baldness etc. are had significant curative effect.From red pepper, obtain this two kinds of materials, more generally adopt organic solvent extraction at present, comprise two kinds of technologies: one, only extract pigment, or only carry capsicine, do not consider to reclaim simultaneously another kind of composition, unreasonable on this process economics, can not be applied industrial; They are two years old, extract simultaneously and separate pigment and capsicine, a kind of " extracting the novel process of capsanthin and capsaicine in red pepper " disclosed as Chinese invention patent (CN1083083A), with the paprika powder is raw material, obtain containing the extracting solution of Capsorubin and capsaicine (being capsicine) with Petroleum ether extraction, with common salt aqueous solution and industrial acetone extracting solution is saltoutd-extraction treatment, standing demix obtains containing Capsorubin liquid layer and capsicine liquid layer respectively, removes solvent by underpressure distillation again and obtains Capsorubin and capsicine respectively.Though this technology is reasonable economically, products obtained therefrom dissolvent residual height has strange taste, and quality is lower, is difficult to satisfy the requirement of users at home and abroad.
Summary of the invention
The present invention seeks at above-mentioned the deficiencies in the prior art, provide a kind of from capsicum the method for separating pepper red pigment and capsicine, can from capsicum, extract simultaneously, separate and obtain high-quality Capsorubin and capsicine, be used for satisfying the needs that real life food, medicine and healthcare products etc. are produced.
For realizing such purpose, the present invention at first all extracts Capsorubin and capsicine from the raw material of hot pepper powder with high concentration ethanol, concentrate through underpressure distillation, obtain containing the thick product of oily matter of Capsorubin and capsicine, use supercritical liquid extraction technique purifying crude product then, according to Capsorubin and capsicine at CO
2In the principle of different solubility, carry out extracting and separating, obtain high-quality Capsorubin and capsicine product.
Concrete grammar of the present invention is as follows:
(1) organic solvent lixiviate Capsorubin and capsicine: be 95% ethanol lixiviate raw material of hot pepper powder with weight percentage, by raw material powder and alcoholic acid solid-liquid weight ratio is to feed intake at 1: 3, after 50-70 ℃ of following refluxing extraction 1-4 hour, filter, collect filtrate and filter residue, again with filter residue as raw material powder, mix ethanol and repeat said extracted process 2-5 time, then each filtrate is combined, reclaim ethanol by underpressure distillation, obtain being rich in the thick product of oily matter of capsochrome and capsicine.
(2) supercritical CO
2Extracting capsicum alkali: the thick product of above-mentioned oily matter is put in the extraction kettle of overcritical device, with high-pressure pump with CO
2Squeeze into extraction kettle, make it pressure and reach preset value 8~20MPa, temperature is controlled at 35~50 ℃, opens extraction cycle loop " extraction kettle-separator-extraction kettle " then and extracts, by adjusting CO
2Enter the inlet valve aperture of separator, make separator pressure be controlled at 5-7MPa, simultaneous temperature is controlled at 35~50 ℃, after extracting 1~4 hour, collects in extraction kettle and obtains Capsorubin, collects in separator and obtains the capsicine product.
Because capsicine is at supercritical CO
2In solubleness greater than Capsorubin, capsicine is by supercritical CO
2Extract from extraction kettle and enter separator, Capsorubin is then still stayed in the extraction kettle.In separator, because the pressure in the separator is lower, CO2 becomes gaseous phase again again and gets back to and carry out the next round extraction in the extraction loop, and capsicine then precipitates.After so extraction was carried out 1~4 hour, capsicine was all extracted from extraction kettle, and is deposited in the separator.Like this, can in extraction kettle, collect and obtain Capsorubin, in separator, collect and obtain the capsicine product.
The particle diameter of the raw material of hot pepper powder that the present invention adopts is the 60-150 order.
The present invention is carrying out supercritical CO
2During extraction, can be with CO
2Squeeze into extraction kettle earlier by refrigeration liquefying, and then through high-pressure pump.
Technical process of the present invention is simple, economical, workable, is suitable for suitability for industrialized production, and the product that obtains is the Capsorubin and the capsicine of high yield, high purity, no solvent residue, free from extraneous odour.Capsorubin can be used for food color, makeup, protective foods, and capsicine can directly be used as medicine.
