PRODUCTION METHOD OF CAPSINOID BY DEHYDRATING CONDENSATION, STABILIZING METHOD OF CAPSINOID, AND CAPSINOID COMPOSITION

摘要

In the production methods of capsinoid by esterification using an enzyme, amethod of conveniently obtaining capsinoid in a high yield in a short timewithout using a dehydrating agent is provided. In addition, a method of stablepreservation of produced capsinoid by purifying the obtained capsinoid understable conditions is provided. A fatty acid represented by the formula (1) anda hydroxymethylphenol represented by the formula (2) are condensed withoutsolvent or in a low-polar solvent, using an enzyme as a catalyst to give anester compound represented by the formula (3). In addition, a fatty acidrepresented by the formula (4) is added to the ester compound represented bythe formula (3) for stabilization. wherein each symbol is as defined in thespecification.
