Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of reverse micelles, and in particular relates to a reverse micelle for extracting capsaicin and a method for preparing the same. Background Technology

[0002] Capsaicin is the main compound in the capsaicin family, followed by dihydrocapsaicin, nordihydrocapsaicin, and homodihydrocapsaicin. It is estimated that capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin together account for approximately 90% of the total capsaicin compounds in chili peppers, which are widely used globally in culinary, medicinal, and personal defense pepper spray applications. In addition to its use as an ingredient and nutrient in novel culinary and pharmaceutical formulations, capsaicin is also used to measure the cough threshold after a patient ingests an antitussive. Recent research has expanded the applications of capsaicin to include neurobiological research, weight management, local analgesia, and antibacterial defense.

[0003] Several methods, including Soxhlet extraction, supercritical fluid extraction, microwave-assisted extraction, macroporous adsorption resin method, and high-speed countercurrent chromatography, have been successfully used to extract and separate capsaicin from chili peppers. However, these extraction techniques typically extract capsaicin compounds directly from chili peppers rather than being tailored for fresh weight applications, which may affect the bioactivity of capsaicin. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is implemented as follows:

[0006] A method for preparing reverse micelles for extracting capsaicin includes the following steps:

[0007] S1: Add Span 20 and Span 80 to n-hexane, and then sonicate to obtain solution A;

[0008] S2: Add NaCl solution to liquid A obtained in step S1 under oscillation and stirring conditions to obtain solution B. Centrifuge solution B, and the supernatant is the reverse micelle solution used for extracting capsaicin.

[0015] A method for preparing reverse micelles for extracting capsaicin.

[0016] The above-mentioned method of using reverse micelles includes the following steps:

[0017] A1: The reverse micelle solution was mixed with the waste liquid from the desiccant reaction and extracted. After separation, the upper oil phase was obtained.

[0018] A2: Mix the upper oil phase obtained in step A1 with a solvent to obtain a mixture; extract the mixture, separate the liquid and retain the lower aqueous phase, and obtain capsaicin by evaporation and crystallization of the lower aqueous phase.

[0019] Furthermore, the volume ratio of the desiccant reaction waste liquid to the reverse micelle solution in step A1 is 1:3 to 3:1;

[0020] And / or, the waste liquid from the desiccant removal reaction is extracted with the reverse micelle solution at a pH of 6-11 and a temperature of 20℃-60℃ for 0.5h-2.5h;

[0021] Preferably, the extraction is carried out in a reaction vessel in which the temperature can be accurately controlled, reaching the set temperature of 20℃ to 60℃ within 5 min to 10 min, with a pH value of 6 to 11, and the reaction time is 0.5 h to 2.5 h.

[0022] Furthermore, in step A2, the mass ratio of the upper oil phase to the solvent is 1:1 to 1:5.

[0023] And / or, the solvent is either distilled water or tap water.

[0024] Further, in step A2, the mixture is extracted for 0.5 h to 2.5 h at a pH of 5 to 9 and a temperature of 20 °C to 60 °C, and then separated using a separatory funnel, retaining the lower aqueous phase;

The size of reverse micelles can be readily tuned by stabilizing a polar phase (typically water) within a nonpolar phase. Due to their unique properties in solution, reverse micelles play a crucial role in a wide range of research applications.

[0030] 3. The reverse micelles exhibit specific selectivity, which improves the purity of capsaicin to meet the demand for high-quality products.

[0031] 4. The organic solvents and surfactants in the reverse micelles can be recycled and reused, reducing environmental pollution and production costs, making the method economically feasible while meeting environmental requirements. Attached Figure Description
