ABSTRACT
To explore the relationship between the variations of the physiochemical properties of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) decoction before or after precipitation in alcohol and the wall stickiness in spray drying. In this study, widely used TCMs in clinic were selected to determine the physiochemical properties of TCM decoction before or after precipitation in alcohol separately.Afterwards, the principle component analysis(PCA),Hierarchical cluster analysis(HCA),and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminate analysis(OPLS-DA) were used to evaluate the relationship between the variations of those liquid before or after precipitation in alcohol and hot-melt stickiness in spray drying.Three types of statistical analysis methods all indicated that ethanol precipitation affected physiochemical properties of TCM decoction, and the variations of physical properties showed significant association with hot-melt stickiness in spray drying.The results of PCA-X and HCA suggested that the dynamic surface tension(DST) was impacted most by the alcohol deposition treatment,at the same time,the other 5 physiochemical properties were also affected.OPLS-DA verified that PCA-X and HCA results, and revealed that DST,equilibrium surface tension(EST) and pH were significantly affected by alcohol deposition treatment,and the order of the affecting factors from high to low was DST,EST and pH.Therefore,the downward trend of DST and pH were the important factors that directly affected the hot-melt stickiness of TCM after precipitation in alcohol,which would be probably caused by losing macromolecules alcoholic insoluble components and increasing relative proportions of organic acid and small molecule sugar.

Objective To optimize the extraction and alcohol precipitation process of Qizhi Yifei Granules by multi index orthogonal experiment. Methods With extraction rate of astragaloside in Astragali Radix, quercetin-3-O-β-D-glucose-7-O-β-D-gentian diglucoside in Descurainiae Semen Lepidii Semen and yield rate of dry extract as indexes, the extraction process of Qizhi Yifei Granules was optimized. Taking the retention rate of astragaloside and quercetin-3-O-β-D-glucose-7-O-β-D-gentian diglucoside as indexes, the alcohol precipitation process was optimized. Results The best water extraction process was as follows: adding 10 times amount of water, extracting for 1.5 h, 3 times. The optimum alcohol precipitation process was: concentrated to the relative density of 1.05–1.10 (60 ℃), adding ethanol to 60％ and alcohol precipitation. Conclusion The optimized extraction and alcohol precipitation process is stable and feasible, which can provide the basis for the preparation.
ABSTRACT
Objective Ganglouyuchuang lotion was used to dress the wound for Anal fistula in Crohn's disease, control inflammation and promote wound healing.This paper studied the extraction techonology of ganglouyuchuang lotion.Methods Four factors of ganglouyuchuang lotion, including volume of water, extraction time, extraction times and liquid ratio, were studied by the orthogonal test, and three levels were selected for each factor.The content of sodium danshensu, the active component contained in Chinese herbal medicine, was regarded as evaluating indicator, and the content of Danshensu Sodium was determined by HPLC.The water extraction and alcohol precipitation technology of ganglouyuchuang lotion was optimized according to the results of measurement.Results The optimum extraction technology of ganglouyuchuang lotion was as follows: four herbs, including Salvia miltiorrhiza, Radix Astragali, Radix sanguisorbae and Senecio were added with8 times amount of water overnight and decocted 3 times with 2 h, 1.5 h, and 1.5 h respectively, and then the extraction was concentrated to the ratio of herbs and concentrate of 1∶1.5.The results showed that the contents of Danshensu Sodium from the three examples were 0.520, 0.498, and 0.521 mg/mL, and the RSD were 0.34%, 0.41%, and 0.29%.Conclusion The optimum extraction technology is feasible and applicable for the preparation of ganglouyuchuang lotion.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To study the effects of clarificant chitosan on contents of zinc,manganese,calcium and heavy metal lead in the water extraction liquid of chinese herbal medicines. Methods: The contents of these elements were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry.Results: The results indicated that the chitosan clarification could raise the transfer rate of some inorganic elements such as zinc,manganese and calcium as compared with water extraction and alcohol precipitation method,And it could also reduce the amount of heavy metal lead.Conclusion: chitosan as a clarificant is promising in the field of refining water extraction liquid of chinese herbal medicines.
