ABSTRACT
Objective:To determine the optimal molding technology of Forsythia Suspense leaves healthy instant tea. Methods:The effects of the ratio of different excipients to dry extract powder and the concentration of wetting agent on the indices including dis-solubility, appearance and formability were investigated by single factor tests. The drying time was determined with moisture as the in-dex, and the final forming process was optimized. Results:The optimal molding progress was as follows:the ratio of dry extract powder to lactose was 1 :1. 5, and after mixed completely, 80% ethanol was used as the wetting agent to prepare wet granules, finally dried at 60℃ for 1. 5 h. Conclusion:The molding technology of Forsythia suspense leaves healthy instant tea is feasible, which can provide ref-erence for the comprehensive development and utilization of Forsythia Suspense leaves.
