The invention discloses a method for preparing capsanthin and capsaicine from fresh chilis.The method includes the following steps of breaking the fresh chilis, baking the fresh chilis, separating seeds from peel, conducting
grinding and pelleting and conducting extraction.The method has the advantages that 1, the fresh chilis are used as a
raw material and fast dried at high temperature, the
workload and investments of manual picking and airing are reduced, and chili color value loss in the airing process is reduced; 2, chili fragments are fed and discharged in an air-conveying mode, fast cooling is achieved, and
pigment loss is reduced; 3, the chili fragments are deseeded after being baked to efficiently separate the seeds from the peel, and the quality of capsanthin is ensured; 4,
chili powder is pelleted to facilitate following-up transportation and extraction production; 5, after the fresh chilis are baked, the
water content of the chili peel is controlled at 10-15%, direct pelleting is allowed, and in comparison with dried chilis, a
softening working procedure is omitted; 6, immiscible mixed solvents are adopted, capsanthin and capsaicine can be prepared further, and the method is simpler in technology compared with a traditional method.
