ABSTRACT
Objective To establish a method for determination of polysaccharide in Lycium barbarum L . extract powder containing with malt dextrin. Method Maltodextrin was treated with glucoamylase hydrolysis and ethanol precipitation successively;then the phenol-sulfuric acid method was used to determine the content of polysaccharide. The glucoamylase hydrolysis technolgy of malt dextrin was optimized, and the variation of polysaccharide content before and after hydrolysis, the difference of polysaccharide contents between direct determination and truth were compared. Morever, the hydrolysis effect of glucoamylase on Lycium barbarum L. was investigated. Results The optimum hydrolysis condition was: temperature 60℃, the ratio of enzyme to substrate 1∶5, hydrolysis time 30 min. The polysaccharide content determined directly was significantly higher than the real value (P0.05). Glucoamylase showed no hydrolysis effects on Lycium barbarum L. polysaccharide. Conclusion Glucoamylase hydrolysis can deplete the influence of malt dextrin on determination of polysaccharide in Lycium barbarum L. extract powder, the procedure is simple and effective.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To optimize the conditions for enzymolysis of Icariin by snail hydrolase.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>Take conversion rate as index, the effects of pH, temperature, reaction time, dosage of enzyme, concentration of Icariin and metal ion on hydrolysis were studied by single-factor designs and a L9 (3(4)) orthogonal design. The product was characterized through MS, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR methods.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>The optimum enzymolysis conversion rate was achieved at 37 degrees C, pH 6.0 acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer solution and 48 h. The Ca2+, Mg2+ and Zn2+ had activation on helicase slightly but the Fe2+ inhibited enzymolysis significantly. The production was presumed as icaritin on the basis of spectral evidences.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Snail hydrolase can be used for preparing of icaritin. The condition is mildness and suitable for industrialization.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To prepare CIT microemulsion and to investigate its properities and the absorption character in rat intestine in situ.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>The optimum formulation of the blank microemulsion was selected by pseudo tertiary phase diagrams and the CIT microemulsion was prepared based on the blank microemulsion. The appearance, particle diameter distribution and Zeta potential were investigated by electron microscopy and grainsize analyzer. The entrapment efficiency was determined by sephadex column chromatography. An in situ single pass intestine perfusion method was used to investigate the intestinal absorption of CIT microemulsion. HPLC method for determination of CIT in the intestinal flux was established.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>The formulation was OP-glycerol-water-ethylis oleas (3:3:4:2). CIT microemulsion in electron microscopy was consisted of small spherical drop. The mean diameter was 61.7 nm, Zeta potential was -46.3 mV. The Entrapment efficiency was (92.1 +/- 1.74)% (n=3). Both CIT and CIT microemulsion had been absorbed in general intestinal tract,and the absorption of CIT microemulsion was significantly high compared with CIT in duodenum, colon, jejunum and ileum (P < 0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The preparation technology of CIT microemulsion was feasible,and the microemulsion system might improve the absorption of CIT in the intestinal tract.</p>
