흑미로부터 안토시아닌 추출방법{A method for islating anthocyanin from black rice}Description of the Related Art A method for extracting anthocyanin from black rice

본 발명은 흑미로부터 안토시아닌 추출방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to an anthocyanin extraction method from black rice.

식물성 천연색소인 안토시아닌은 최근 여러 가지 생리활성이 있는 것으로 알려지고 있다. 예를 들면 노화억제작용, 항균작용, 돌연변이성 억제작용, 콜레스테롤 저하작용, 시력개선 효과, 혈관보호기능, 항궤양기능, 항산화 기능 등이 알려져 있다. 이러한 생리활성은 모든 종류의 안토시아닌이 기본적으로 가지는 활성이지만, 최근 각 안토시아닌의 종류에 따라 그 활성의 차이가 있는 것으로 알려지고 있다.Anthocyanin, a natural coloring matter of plants, has recently been known to have various physiological activities. For example, antioxidant activity, antimicrobial activity, mutagenic activity, cholesterol lowering effect, vision improving effect, vascular protection function, anti-ulcer function and antioxidant function are known. These physiological activities are basically the activities of all kinds of anthocyanins, but recently, it has been known that there is a difference in activity depending on the type of anthocyanins.

안토시아닌 성분은 흔히 식물체의 꽃, 과실, 줄기, 잎, 뿌리 등에 함유되어 있는 물질로서, 현재 포도, 딸기,올리브, 적양배추, 가지, 장미 등의 식물체로부터 추출하여 여러 가지 원료로 이용되고 있으나, 거의 조색소 상태로 추출하여 이용되고 있는 실정이다. 따라서, 안토시아닌 외에 다른 성분의 화합물이 공존하는 상태로 이용되는 경우가 많다.The anthocyanin component is a substance contained in the flower, fruit, stem, leaf, and root of a plant, and is extracted from plants such as grapes, strawberries, olives, red cabbage, branches and roses and is used as various raw materials. And is extracted and used in the crude dye state. Therefore, in many cases, a compound of an ingredient other than anthocyanin coexists.

종전에는 안토시아닌 추출 효율을 높이기 위한 재료로 화학첨가물(구연산 등)을 첨가하는 기술이 있으나, 화학첨가물의 풍미가 강하게 느껴져 기능식품으로 개발하기에 어려운 단점이 있었다. In the past, there was a technique of adding a chemical additive (citric acid or the like) as a material for increasing anthocyanin extraction efficiency, but there was a disadvantage that it was difficult to develop a functional food because the flavor of a chemical additive felt strongly.
