Frost-like powder processing of Semen Euphorbiae / 中成药

ABSTRACT

AIM: To optimize the best technique of making Semen Euphorbiae into frost-like powder. METHODS: Machine was developed equipped with temperature and pressure control. Pretreatment of Semen Euphorbiae, heating temperature and time were selected as factors,fat oil content,euphorbiasteroid and lathyrol diadetate benzozte as main levels,to evaluate the processing. RESULTS: The experiment showed that seeds of Semen Euphorbia were directly broken into powder and heated at 55 ?C for 30 min. The oil productivity ranged from 51% to 53% . CONCLUSION: The heating temperature has an influence on fat oil and laxative constitutents' content, whereas pretreatment of seed and heating time lack the relationship to.
