APPLICATION OF HEADSPACE TECHNIQUES TO THE EXTRACTION OF VOLATILE ORGANIC-COMPOUNDS FROM PAPRIKA OLEORESIN

Static and dynamic headspace techniques have been applied to the extra ction and concentration of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from papr ika oleoresin. In dynamic headspace, both purge and trap and sweeping techniques have been used. In order to show the influence of temperatu re on the extraction techniques, three differents temperatures have be en applied to each technique. The separation and identification of the extracted VOCs has been carried out through HRGC/MS. The extraction t echniques are simple and easily reproducible.
