ABSTRACT
Objective To determine the optimum extraction and purification technology of Huangqi Baihe Granules (HBG) by using orthogonal design and combination empowerment based on G1-entropy method, so as to provide a reference for the industrial production. Methods With the ethanol extraction amount and paste-forming rate of calycosin7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, hesperidin, crude polysaccharide as evaluation index, and with the extraction times, extraction time and the water adding amount as investigate factors, then the combination empowerment method based on G1-entropy method and orthogonal design were used to optimize the extraction technology of HBG. The same combined methods were used to optimize the purification technology of HBG with retention rate and removal rate of impurity of ethanol extract of calycosin7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, hesperidin and crude polysaccharide, as evaluation index, and with the membrane pore diameter, operating pressure and filtration temperature of multi-channel tubular ceramic ultrafiltration membrane as investigate factors. Results The test results showed that the optimum extraction technology was as follows: Extracted 2 times with 20 times the amount of water and each for 75 min. The optimum ultrafiltration technology was as follows: Multi-channel tubular inorganic ceramic membrane at 50 nm, operating pressure at 0.10 MPa, filtration temperature at 45 ℃. Under such condition, there was no significant difference between verification groups of three batches. Conclusion The optimized extraction and purification process is stable and feasible by verification, which can provide experimental basis for industrial production of HBG.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To establish an extraction and purification process line synchronization suitable for industrial production of glycyrrhizin acid and liquiritin. Methods: The extraction rates of glycyrrhizic acid and liquiritin were as indexes, orthogonal test was performed to determine the optimum conditions; The retention rate of glycyrrhizic acid and liquiritin and impurity removal rates were as indexes, the best ultrafiltration process parameters were optimized by orthogonal test. Results: The optimum extraction conditions were as follows: 0.75% ammonia water (24 times), extracted for three times, each time under 60 min, average rates of glycyrrhizic acid and liquiritin were 98.3% and 72.3%; The best ultrafiltration process parameters: 10 nm inorganic ceramic membrane, pressure of 0.12 MPa, temperature of 25℃. The average retention rates of glycyrrhizic acid and liquiritin were 99.3% and 98.9%, and an average removal rate of impurity was 23.3%. Conclusion: The experiment adopted the joint application of inorganic ceramic membrane ultrafiltration technology and ammonia extraction process, and it has realized the glycyrrhizic acid and licorice glycosides extraction and purification of synchronization; The process has low production cost and good safety, and is suitable for industrial application.
