A Study on Quantitative Method of Piperine in Pure Ground Black Pepper

후추중의 Piperine 정량법에 관한 연구

Piperine, component of pure ground black pepper, has strong stimulative and hot. Analytical method for piperine was developed by high performance liquid chromatography. Analytical conditions are as follows, mobile phase is 70% methanol, detector UV 343 nm (0.05 AuFs), column is Novapak 5 C18 (15 cm $\times$ 4.6mm), flow rate is 1.0ml/min, chart speed is 0.25 cm/min and injection volume is 20 ul. Analytical results are as follows that relative standard deviation is 1.15%, calibration curve is y=170473.1x-7848.5 (R2=0.999) that shows good linearity. Standard solution of piperine is stable up to 10 hr and content of piperine in pureground black pepper is 4.97$\pm$0.86% Retention time of piperine in HPLC method is about 7 min. Therefore, the developed HPLC method including simple pretreatment of sample will be contribute to quality mangement.
