研究了纤维素酶（16568 U/g）提取辣椒中辣椒碱的工艺。研究发现：酶解液初始pH值5.2，酶量为7 mg/g，酶解时间3 h，酶解温度40 ℃为酶解最适条件。通过酶解处理后的辣椒碱产量为3.096 mg/g，比传统的乙醇提取法提高了约16%，而且该法提取辣椒碱时间短、温度要求低、操作简单。

The enzymatic method for the extraction of capsaicin by cellulose (16568 U/g) was developed. The results showed that the best enzymatic hydrolysis conditions for extracting capsaicin were as follows: pH value of enzyme solution of 5.2, the enzyme dosage of 7 mg/g, the reaction time of 3 h, and the reaction temperature of 40 ℃. Compared with the traditional extraction methods, the extraction yield of capsaicin with the new method increased by 16%. Besides, this extraction method was simple, fast and with relative low temperature.
