Abstract

Determination of capsaicin, dihydrocapsaicin and nonivamide in pungent liquids of self-defense spray were studied. The nonivamide having almost same spicy taste with capsaicin have been containing a few amounts in natural products, it had called as synthetic capsaicin or PAVA, have used to flavorings for foodstuffs and incapacitating agents of riot controls. Nowadays, it has been occasionally found that the quality controls of a self-defense sprays were not properly due to flood of illegal self-defense sprays. Thus, the simple analytical method with gas chromatography is developed, it is identified whether the products which have contained synthetic capsaicin were marked like natural materials as well as the pungent ingredients in it obeyed with permissible concentration to human or not was investigated. Finally, the pungent components and amounts in some kinds of self-defense spray were investigated.

호신용 스프레이의 자극성 액체에 포함된 capsaicin, dihydrocapsaicin 및 nonivamide의 함량을 기체 크로마토그래피로 정량하는 방법에 대해 연구하였다. Capsaicin과 거의 동등한 수준의 매운맛을 내는 nonivamide는 천연물 내에도 극히 소량 존재하므로 합성된 nonvamide를 합성 캡사이신(Synthetic capsaicinoid) 또는 PAVA(Pelargonic Acid Vanillyl Amide)라고 부르며 식품 향미 재료나 폭동진압용 무능화 작용제로 이용되어왔다. 호신용품이 난립하는 요즘 각종 불법 호신용 스프레이의 품질관리가 제대로 이행되지 않는 사례가 종종 발견되고 있다. 따라서 기체크로마토그래피로 합성 캡사이신이 포함된 제품이 천연 유래인 것처럼 도용되거나 허용농도를 준수하는 지를 판별할 수 있는 간단한 분석방법을 개발하고자 하였다. 마지막으로 분석방법이 확립되면 시판되는 호신용 스프레이 내에 존재하는 자극성 액체의 성분과 함량 조사에 응용하여 보았다.
