ABSTRACT
The paper aims to establish the method to determine the monosaccharide composition and monosaccharide ratio in propylene glycol alginate sodium sulphate (PSS). Samples were hydrolyzed with trifluoroacetic acid, neutralized with sodium hydroxide solution after the reaction conditions for sample pretreatment were optimized via orthogonal analysis. A high performance anion exchange chromatograghy (HPAEC) coupled with pulsed amperometric detector (PAD) was performed on a CarboPac®PA20, using 200 mmol·L-1 sodium hydroxide solution and 1 mol·L-1 sodium acetate solution as mobile phase. The established HPAEC-PAD method was validated by testing the linear relationship, precision and accuracy, and showed exclusive, sensitive, rapid and wide use. The monosaccharide composition of PSS from different manufacture can be accurately determined with great significance for the structural identification of PSS.
ABSTRACT
Objective: In order to improve the stability of grape polyphenols and strengthen slow-release effect, the study on micro- capisulazed grape polyphenols was carried out through the complex coacervation method using porous cornstarch as core material carrier. Methods: With the embedding rate as main index, the effect of all factors on the microencapsulation of grape polyphenols was investigated through the single factor test and orthogonal test, and its preparation technology was also optimized. Results: The best preparation technology was as follows: The experiment materials were 10 mL grape polyphenols solution of 25 mg/mL, 1.5 g porous cornstarch, 30 mL sodium alginate solution of 0.03 g/mL, 50 mL chitosan solution of 0.01 g/mL, and 50 mL calcium chloride solution of 0.05 g/mL, at pH value of 3.5. The microcapsules' appearance was superior with size distribution of the main in 600-850 μm, the embedding rate was 83.2%, and they had very good releasing property in simulated gastric and simulated intestinal environment. Conclusion: The product appearance and embedding rate of grape polyphenols microcapsules which used porous cornstarch as core material carrier and sodium alginate-chitosan as wall materials are better than those only used sodium alginate and chitosan as wall materials. Furthermore, the inclusion complex is proved to be successfully prepared by its structural characterization which is gotten from FTIR and scanning electron microscope (SEM).
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To review the progress in the content assay methods of sulfate polysaccharide drugs. METHODS: By nonsuiting the literature at home and abroad in recent years, the content assay methods of sulfate polysaccharide drugs, including direct staining method, acid-degradation color-development method, photometric titration, liquid chromatography and biopotency, are introduced and compared. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The specificity, precision and accuracy, feasibility of practical operation and the instrument cost of the five methods are different. But high performance liquid chromatography method with good specificity, high sensitivity, and accuracy can give more accurate result of the drug content. It is more widely applied in the determination of drug content, so it will be the main method of content assay in the future.

ABSTRACT
Objective To establish a method for determination of trace lead in alginate sodium.Method The lead in the samples was determined by fluorescence spectroscopy after been digested by hydrothermal decomposition.Results The detection limit of lead was 2.71?10-2?g?mL-1.The relative standard deviation of the three samples were 4.06%,1.57% and 2.12% respectively,the average recovery was 88.32%～100.8%.Conclusion The method had the advantages of simple operation,higher precision,higher sensitivity and repeatability and was suitable for the determination of trace lead in the alginate sodium
