ABSTRACT
AIM To optimize the preparation of Bishutongqiao Mixture.METHODS With solid total mass,contents of astragaloside A and calycosin-7-glucoside as evaluation indices,water addition,extraction time and extraction times as influencing factors,the aqueous extraction process was optimized by orthogonal test.With the contents and retention rates of astragaloside A and calycosin-7-glucoside as evaluation indices,the effects of normal pressure and decompression on the concentration process were investigated.And the effects of solubilizer (polysorbate 80),taste-masking agent (sucrose) and bacteriostatic agent (sodium benzoate) amounts on the forming process were studied as well.RESULTS The optimal aqueous extraction conditions were determined to be ten times for water addition,1 h for extraction time,and extracting twice,the comprehensive score was 91.67.The contents and retention rates of astragaloside A and calycosin-7-glucoside at normal pressure concentration were higher than those at decompression concentration.The optimal forming process was obtained at polysorbate 80,sucrose and sodium benzoate amounts of 1.43％,15％ and 0.3％,respectively.CONCLUSION This stable and feasible method can be used for the preparation of Bishutongqiao Mixture.
