Abstract:

In this study, three phase partitioning (TPP) was employed to extract the pepper oleoresin from black pepper powder. The effects of the addition amount of pepper powder, ammonium sulphate concentration, ratio of crude extract to t-butanol, pH and temperature on the yield of pepper oleoresin and piperine content were studied. In addition, the extraction process of pepper oleoresin was optimized by a response surface test. The optimal condition obtained was as follow: the addition amount of pepper powder 5%, ammonium sulphate concentration 10%, ratio of crude extract to t-butanol 1∶0.5, pH 4 and temperature 20℃. Under the optimal conditions, the yield of black pepper oleoresin and piperine content was 12.90% and 30.46%, respectively. The results provide a reference for the industrial extraction of pepper oleoresin.
