Abstract

In this study, we examined the effects of carrier oil type (MCT oil: MO, corn oil: CO, palm oil: PO), pH of dispersion solution, and antioxidants on the chemical degradation of ${\beta}$-carotene in oil-in-water nanoemulsions. The pH of the emulsion had a significant influence on the stability of ${\beta}$-carotene, which showed rapid degradation in emulsions at low pH value and relatively higher stability at high pH values. The influence of the carrier oil type on ${\beta}$-carotene stability was assessed. The rate of ${\beta}$-carotene degradation increased in the following order: CO > PO > MO. The effect of antioxidants on ${\beta}$-carotene degradation was monitored during storage at $25^{\circ}C$ for 4 weeks. The rate of ${\beta}$-carotene degradation decreased upon addition of water-soluble (ascorbic acid) or oil-soluble (tocopherol) antioxidants. In general, tocopherol was more effective than ascorbic acid in reducing ${\beta}$-carotene degradation. To utilize this nanoemulsion for producing acidic beverages, adding a higher concentration of antioxidants is required.

본 연구에서는 서로 다른 성질을 지닌 기름(MO, CO, PO)을 선정한 후 산화방지제(아스코브산, 토코페롤)의 종류와 농도를 달리한 베타카로텐 함유 나노에멀션을 제조하여, 산화안정성을 검토하였다. 베타카로텐 나노에멀션은 낮은 pH에 비하여 높은 pH에서 화학적으로 더 안정하였다. 또한 베타카로텐의 산화는 기름의 특성에 많은 영향을 받았으며, 지방산 사슬길이가 길며 포화 지방산 함량이 낮은 CO를 유상(oil phase)으로 사용할 경우 베타카로텐 산화를 더욱 가속화시키는 것으로 나타났다. 에멀션 내의 베타카로텐의 분해는 아스코브산과 토코페롤 산화방지제를 첨가함으로써 지연시킬 수 있었다. 그러나 베타카로텐을 함유한 산성 상태의 음료와 식품을 제조하고 이를 장기간 보존하기 위해서는 높은 농도의 산화방지제 첨가가 요구됨을 확인하였다.
