SEPARATING SYSTEM FOR RED PEPPER PERICARP AND PLACENTA AND METHOD OF ADJUSTING CAPSAICINOIDS CONTENT

摘要

PURPOSE: A system for separating the pericarp and placenta of red pepper by separating red pepper material into the placenta, seed and pericarp different in pungent components each other through a separation process and then mixing them is provided. It reduces the pungent components of red pepper by 1/2 or more and permits the easy production of red pepper powder having targeting pungent component and the easy selection according to particle size. CONSTITUTION: The pericarp and placenta separation system for red pepper comprises: a red pepper rough grinding part(10) for separating dried red pepper into a placenta, seed and pericarp by roughly grinding it; a placenta and seed separation part(12) for separating the placenta and seed having a specified size firstly by sorting the pericarp, placenta and seed according to a grain size; a pericarp and placenta cutting part(14) for separating the pericarp and placenta of red pepper by finely cutting the oversized pericarp; and a vibration and separation part(16) for separating the pericarp secondly by sorting the pericarp and placenta according to a grain size by vibration and then separating the pericarp and placenta mixture thirdly.
