ABSTRACT
Objective: Through studying the rationalization of alcohol precipitation process of Liuwei Dihuang Prescription to obtain the stability alcohol precipitation process which could be used to promote industrialization. Methods: It screens the most reasonable alcohol precipitation process taking the contents, the relative molecular weight distribution, and the extract of loganin, peoniflorin, morroniside, manninotriose, and polysaccharide as the evaluation index to investigate the way of adding ethanol, centrifugation,, and whether to carry out the ethanol washing process. Results: The alcohol precipitation process is reasonable by calculating the alcohol volume method. The polysaccharides and alcohol precipitation supernatant could be efficiently separated by ethanol washing method. The polysaccharide extract and the contents of glycosides and manninotriose were up to the standard after the process improved. Conclusion: The optimized alcohol precipitation process is easy operation with good controllability and repeatability. It is worthy of popularization and application of industrialization.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To observe the soluble and dispersive characteristics of Liuwei Dihuang Ultra micro power. Methods: The similarity and difference between the soluble and dispersive characteristics of two powders with HPLC atlas were observed. The contents and dissolving characteristic of target compositions Ursolic acid and Paeonol of Liuwei Dihuang powder and ultra micro powder were compared and studied. Results: At the same retaining time two powders had the same absorbent peak, but the peak values of two powders had apparent difference. the ursonic acid and paeonol in ultra micro powder were 44.55% and 7.6% higher than those of the normal powder respectively. Conclusion: After Liuwei Dihuang is broken into ultra micro power, the chemical compositions do not change but the dissolving speed and contents increase greatly.
