Abstract

Effects of modifier and soaking on extraction of triterpenoid saponin (glycyrrhizin) from liquorice were examined using supercritical $CO_2(SC-CO_2)$ at 50 MPa, $60^{\circ}C$, and flow rate of 3 mL/min, and glycyrrhizin content was analyzed by HPLC. Additon of undiluted methanol, ethanol or isopropanol as modifier to $SC-CO_2$ had little influence on extraction yield of glycyrrhizin. Soaking process using water increased the extraction yield as the sample to solvent ratio was increased. Addition of 70% methanol, ethanol or isopropanol to $SC-CO_2$ significantly increased the extraction yields, with 70% methanol resulting in the highest yield. When water at 90% (w/w) of sample weight was used for soaking, the extraction yield and rate increased, 70% ethanol-modified $SC-CO_2$ was almost equal to that obtained using 70% methanol.

초임계 유체 추출법에 의해 감초의 triterpenoid saponin(glycyrrhizin)을 추출하기 위해 50 MPa, $60^{\circ}C$와 3mL/min의 조건에서 보조용매와 soaking의 효과를 알아보았다. 순수한 초임계 이산화탄소만을 이용하여 추출한 결과 감초의 glycyrrhizin은 거의 추출되지 않았다. 99.9% methanol, ethanol과 isopropanol을 보조용매로 초임계 이산화탄소에 첨가하여 추출한 경우, 추출수율의 상승에는 큰 영향을 미치지 아니하였다. 시료를 물로 soaking하여 90% methanol을 보조용매로 사용하여 초임계 이산화탄소에 의해 추출한 경우, soaking 용매의 사용량이 증가할수록 추출수율은 증가하였고, 최고 21.68mg/g(회수율 53.25%)의 수율을 보여주었다. 한편 시료의 soaking 없이 70% methanol을 보조용매로 사용하였을 때는 유기용매추출법에 의한 수율보다 더 높은 수율을 나타내었고, 시료를 물로 soaking하여 70% ethanol을 보조용매로 초임계 이산화탄소에 첨가하여 추출하였을 때, 추출수율과 추출속도는 상승하였고, 시료의 90%(w/w)에 해당하는 물로 시료를 soaking한 경우 70% methanol을 보조용매로 사용하였을 때와 거의 동일한 추출수율을 얻을 수 있었다.
