Cross-reference to related application
The present application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 2022101524579, entitled "pepper essential oil with anti-inflammatory activity and preparation method thereof', and filed on February 18, 2022, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the technical field of natural product extraction, specifically, to a pepper essential oil with anti-inflammatory activity and preparation method thereof.
Background Art
Pepper (Piper nigrum L.) is a plant of the Piperaccac family, which is one of the oldest and most famous spice crops. Pepper contains volatile oil, piperine and other substances.
Pepper has a variety of functional activities and is widely used in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
The extraction methods commonly used for the essential oil comprise steam distillation, pressing, organic solvent extraction, and later ultrasonic-assisted extraction, supercritical CO) extraction and microwave-assisted steam distillation. Among them, the steam distillation needs simple equipment, is easy to operate, costs lowly, and the quality of essential oils is good. The steam distillation is the most commonly used method for extracting essential oils. However, because the steam distillation needs to be operated at a high temperature for a long time, it is easy to cause thermal decomposition of heat-sensitive compounds and hydrolysis of easily hydrolyzed components in the essential oil, resulting in the loss of the effective components of the essential oil, and a low extraction rate.
At present, there have been reports on the processing of pepper stalk removal, peelirw, drying, oleoresin extraction, essential oil extraction, and preparation of condiment. Studies have also shown that black and white pepper essential oils have anti-tumor and anti-cough effects.
The extraction method and application of the pepper essential oil need further study.
Summary of the Invention
The present invention provides a pepper essential oil with anti-inflammatory activity and preparation method thereof. In the method, the fresh pepper fruits are used as raw material, and the pepper essential oil with anti-inflammatory activity is obtained by freezing at ultra-low temperature, rapidly thawing by microwave, pulp grinding, ultrasonic-assisted enzymolysis, steam distillation, oil-water separation, and removing water with anhydrous sodium sulfate.
Specifically, a preparation method of a pepper essential oil comprises the following steps: freezing fresh pepper fruits at ultra-low temperature, thawing by microwave, pulp grinding, enzymolysis, steam distillation, oil-water separation, and obtaining the pepper essential oil. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the ripeness of the fresh pepper fruits is 50% to 70%. Studies found that the fresh pepper fruits with ripeness of 50% to 70% have high content of essential oil, which is more conducive to the extraction of the pepper essential oil.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the freezing at ultra-low temperature is performed at a temperature of -60°C to -80°C, for example, -80°C. Usually, the freezing is performed for 24 to 60 h, for example, 24 to 48 h. Studies found that by freezing fresh pepper fruits at ultra-low temperature, the material metabolism and growth activities in living cells are almost completely stopped, which suppresses physiological metabolism intensity to the greatest extent, and the volatile components of the raw materials are better preserved.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the frozen fruits are thawed by microwave with a microwave power of 600 to 800 W, for example. 800W. Usually the frozen fruits are thawed until a core temperature of the fruits is 4°C. Studies found that in the process of rapid thawing by microwave, polar substances such as water in the cells absorb microwaves and then generate heat, the temperature in the cells rises rapidly, and the pressure of water vaporization causes the cell walls to rupture, resulting in micropores and cracks, such that the intracellular substances can be more easily dissolved.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, an appropriate amount of water can be added during pulp grinding, for example, the amount of added water is 5 to 10 limes of the weight of the fresh pepper fruits. The pulp grinding can be performed by conventional methods. In some specific embodiments, the pulp grinding is performed to a fineness of 5 to 20 mesh. Studies found that the raw materials were more fully broken through the treatment of pulp grinding, which is conducive to the full extraction of components of fresh pepper fruits.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, an enzyme used in the enzymolysis is a compound enzyme consisting of cellulase, hemicellulase and pectinase, with a weight ratio of (1 to 2):(1 to 2):(1 to 3), for example, 1:1:2. Studies found that enzymolysis with the above-mentioned compound enzyme can cause changes such as local loosening and bulking of the intercellular substance, and reduce the mass transfer resistance of the mass transfer barrier such as the intercellular substance to the diffusion of volatile components from the cell to the extraction medium.
In the present invention cellulase, hemicellulase, and pectinase are all commercially available.
In some embodiments, the enzymatic activity of cellulase is 50 u/mg.
In some embodiments, the enzymatic activity of hemicellulase is 20000 u/mg.
In some embodiments, the enzymatic activity of pectinase is 500 u/mg.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, an added amount of the compound enzyme is 0.05% to 1% of the weight of the fresh pepper fruits.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the enzymolysis is performed for 1 to 2 h at 40 to 60°C, for example, 45 to 50°C.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the enzymolysis is preferably performed with an ultrasonic frequency of 400 to 500W. Studies found that ultrasonic-assisted enzymolysis accelerated the enzymolysis, which was beneficial to improve the yield of the pepper essential oil.
In the present invention, the conventional methods of steam distillation and oil-water separation can be used. For example, anhydrous sodium sulfate can be used to remove water. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the method of steam distillation comprises the following steps: putting the enzymatically hydrolyzed material into a round-bottomed flask and adding glass beads into the flask, connecting a volatile oil receiver and a reflux condenser, putting the flask in an electric heating mantle for heating, and distilling until the essential oil is no longer increased more, stopping heating, cooling to room temperature, and then reading the volume of the essential oil, collecting the essential oil, and removing water with anhydrous sodium sulfate.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the preparation method of a pepper essential oil comprises the following steps: 1) pretreatment of raw material freezing and storing the fresh pepper fruits at ultra-low temperature at -80°C; rapidly thawing the frozen fruits with a microwave of 600 to 800W, and adding distilled water for pulp grinding to obtain mixture A; 2) ultrasonic-assisted enzymolysis IC adding the compound enzyme at an amount of 0.05% to 1% of the mass of fresh pepper fruits into the mixture A. and subjecting the resultant to enzymolysis for 1 to 2 h at 40 to 60°C assisted by an ultrasonic at a frequency of 400 to 500 W to obtain mixture B; the compound enzyme consists of cellulase, hemicellulase and pectinase with a weight ratio of 1:1:2; 3) extraction by steam distillation extracting the mixture B by steam distillation to collect the essential oil, and removing water with anhydrous sodium sulfate.
In some specific embodiments, step 3) includes the following steps: putting mixture B into a round-bottomed flask and adding glass heads into the flask, connecting a volatile oil receiver and a reflux condenser, putting the flask in an electric heating mantle for heating, and distilling until the essential oil is no longer increased more, slopping heatin2, cooling to room temperature, and then reading the volume of the essential oil, collecting the essential oil, and removing water with anhydrous sodium sulfate.
In die method of the present invention, the material metabolism and growth activities in living cells are almost completely stopped by freezing and storing fresh pepper fruits at ultra-low temperature, which suppresses physiological metabolism intensity to the greatest extent, and the volatile components of the raw materials are better preserved. By the method combined with rapidly thawing by microwave, pulp winding, and ultrasonic-assisted enzymolysis, specifically the polar substances such as water in the cells absorb microwaves in the process of rapid thawing by microwave and then generate heat, the temperature in the cells rises rapidly, and the pressure of water vaporization causes the cell walls to rupture, resulting in micropores and cracks, such that the intracellular substances can he more easily dissolved. Through treatment of pulp grinding, the raw materials are more fully broken, which is conducive to the full extraction of the components of fresh pepper fruits. Then the compound enzyme is added to it, which causes changes such as local loosening and bulking of the intercellular substance, and reduces the mass transfer resistance of the mass transfer barrier such as the intercellular substance to the diffusion of volatile components from the cell to the extraction medium. The ultrasonic-assisted enzymolysis accelerates enzymolysis, and the above overall steps are all conducive to the extraction of the essential oil of fresh pepper fruits In the method of the present invention, the compound enzyme is used to decompose the cell wall of fresh pepper fruits, reduce the mass transfer resistance, and promote the release of the essential oil, and then the water vapor is refluxed to extract the essential oil. The essential oil of fresh pepper fruits prepared by this method is light yellow, has obvious pepper aroma and no peculiar smell, with a yield of up to 3.14%, which is more than twice yield of the essential oil of Hack pepper and white pepper by traditional steam distillation.
In the method of the present invention, the fresh pepper fruits are used as the raw material to directly extract the natural products. Compared with the traditional extraction of white pepper and black pepper, the processing process is omitted, which effectively improves the utilization rate of the fresh pepper fruits. Moreover, the pepper promotes the development of value-added industries of pepper resources in a certain extent.

It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are only used to explain the present invention, but not to limit the present invention.
Unless otherwise specified, the following pepper varieties are Indonesian large-leaf varieties, provided by Flavor Beverage Institute, Chinese Academy of Tropical Agriculture Science.
Cellulase, hemicellulase, and pectinase were purchased from Yuanye Bio-Technology Co., Ltd, and their enzyme activities were 50 u/mg, 20000 u/mg, and 500 u/mg, respectively.
Example 1: The preparation method of a pepper essential oil (fresh pepper fruits) The fresh pepper fruits (ripeness of 50% to 70%) were freezed and stored for 24 h at ultra-low temperature freezing at -80°C, rapidly thawed for 10 min with microwave (power, 800 W). Distilled water with a weight of 6 times the weight of the fresh pepper fruits was added for pulp grinding to obtain mixture A. In mixture A, the compound enzyme (consisting of cellulase, hemicellulase, pectinase in a weight ratio of 1:1:2) with a weight of 1% the weight of the fresh pepper fruits was added, and ultrasonic (power, 500W) assisted enzymolysis was performed for 1 h at 50°C to obtain mixture B. Mixture B was put into a round-bottomed flask, glass beads were added into this flask, the volatile oil receiver and the reflux condenser were connected, and this flask was put in an electric heating mantle for heating and distilled until the essential oil was no longer increased more, heating was stopped, this flask was cooled to room temperature, and then the volume of the essential oil was read, the essential oil was collected and dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate to obtain the pepper essential oil.
The formula for calculating the extraction yield of the essential oil on a dry weight basis of pepper fresh fruits is as follows: 41,;(1;,fi of eNgenti,i1 oil1.) 10Q Extraction yield of essentiA oil Or:11100g dry v.,&ght - x 100 1,4,2 Cce freQh poppte fruits tztent The water content was determined with reference to the azeotropic distillation method (the third method) in GB 5009.3-2016 "National Food Safety Standard -Determination of Moisture in Foods".
Comparative Example I Preparation and content determination of a black pepper essential GB/T 17527-2009 "Determination of content of pepper essential oil" was used.
Comparative Example 2 Preparation and content determination of a white pepper essential GB/T 17527-2009 "Determination of content of pepper essential oil" was used. Experiment I The results showed that the extraction yield of the essential oil on a dry weight basis of fresh pepper fruits in Example 1 was 3.511 mL/1008, which was about twice of black pepper in Comparative Example 1 (1.710 mL/100g) and white pepper in Comparative Example 2 (1.853 mL/100g). This indicates that the extraction yield of the essential oil on a dry weight basis of the fresh pepper fruits of the present invention is significantly higher than those of black pepper and white pepper.
Determination by GC-MS method: the essential oil was diluted 50 times with n-hexane, dehydrated by anhydrous sodium sulfate, and passed through a 0.45 pm microporous membrane to be tested. Column was: J&W DB-5 quartz capillary (30 m x 0.25 mm, 0.25 pm). Heating program was as follows: column temperature was 50°C, and increased to 75°C at 3°C/min, then increased to 140°C at 1.5°C/min, then increased to 230°C at 10°C/min, held for 2 min, and finally increased to 280°C at 20°C/min and held for 3 min. The flow rate of carrier gas (He) was 1 inUmin, and the injection volume was 1 p L, splitless. Electron bombardment ion source was used with electron energy of 70 eV; transmission line temperature of 280°C; ion source temperature of 230°C; and mass scanning range of m/z 35-450 mu.
The components of the pepper essential oils in pepper fresh fruits of Example 1, black IC pepper of Comparative Example I and white pepper of Comparative Example 2, are shown in Table 1. As can be seen from Table 1, the components of the essential oil of fresh pepper fruits, black pepper and white pepper are all based on terpenes, but the relative contents are different, and a-thujene was detected in the essential oil of fresh pepper fruits, hut not in black pepper and white pepper.

2 Experimental content Cell recovery: 0 The RAW264.7 cells frozen at -80°C were placed in a water bath at 37°C and shaken quickly until thawed. The thawed cells and 7 mL of medium were added to a 15 mL stmile centrifuge tube, which was centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 5 min The supernatant was discarded, and the remaining was transferred to a new 25 T cell culture flask containing 5 mL of 10% FBS medium and cultured for 8 h at 37°C with 7.5% CO2. Then the old medium was discarded and a new medium replaced the old one for continuing to culture until the cells were full of the culture flask to proceed with the experiment.
2.1 The effect of the pepper essential oil on cell viability The pepper essential oil sample prepared in Example 1 (the same below) was sterilized by filtration through a 0.22 gm filter. Before seeding, the old medium in the culture flask was discarded, the sample was washed with PBS, and 0.25% trypsin was added to digest the cells.
The trypsin was poured out, DMEM medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum was added, and the cells were pipetted repeatedly, transferred to the sample tank and blew evenly. Counting with a cell counting plate, a complete medium was added to dilute, and 100 hiL of cells were pipetted into a 96-well plate (5 x 103 cells/well) for inoculation and cultured overnight in a constant temperature incubator with 5% CO2 at 37°C. The old medium in the 96-well plate was discarded, the sample was added to the working concentration, and the culture was continued for 120 h. The original medium was sucked out, the sample was rinsed twice with PBS, and the medium in the 96-well plate was replaced with 100 pL of fresh DMEM containing 10% fetal bovine serum, and 10 htL of CCK-8 solution was added to each well, respectively. After culturing for 3 h in the incubator, the absorbance was measured at 450 nm. The formula for calculating cell viability is as follows: Cell viability (%) = (A sample) / (Blank) x 100% The results are shown in Figure 1. Control represents the control group, that is, 0 p.g/mL pepper essential oil was added. The results showed that 200 gghnL Dexamethasone (DXMS) had no significant effect on cell viability. When the concentration of the pepper essential oil was between 0 and 30 pg/mL, it had no significant effect on the growth inhibition of RAW 264.7 cells.
