Optimization of β-Cyclodextrin Inclusion Process for Volatile Oil in Yingxinning Capsules by Orthogonal Test / 中国药师

ABSTRACT

Objective:To optimize β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) inclusion process for volatile oil in Yingxinning capsules. Methods:The content of volatile oil in theβ-CD inclusion compound as the evaluation index, the ratio of volatile oil toβ-CD, inclusion tempera-ture, inclusion time and stirring speed as the influencing factors, the inclusion process was studied using L9(34)orthogonal design. Re-sultsThe best preparation conditions were as followsthe ratio of volatile oil toβ-CD was 1∶ 9, the inclusion temperature was 40℃, the inclusion time was 30min and the stirring speed was 800 r·min-1 . Conclusion: The preparation technology is simple, feasible and stable with high inclusion rate of volatile oil.
