ABSTRACT

AIM: To compare N-LOK with ?-CD on inclusion ability for the volatile oil from Duhuo Jisheng Granula (Radix Angelicae, Pubescentis, Herba Asari, Radix Saposhni-koviae, etc). and its process. METHODS: Colloidal mill and mixer were adopted, and analysis was on use of DSC and GC/MS. RESULTS: N-LOK inclusion complex included oil ratio was twice as large as the ?-CD, GC/MS analysis showed that the main components of volatile oil before and after being covered had no significant difference. CONCLUSION: N-LOK inclusion complex included oil ratio was far higher than the ?-CD. N-LOK inclusion complex could spray to dry directly, but ?-CD inclusion complex needed refrigeration and low temperature were necessary. The method of covered with N-LOK is suitable for mass production in the traditional Chinese patent medicine in the size of manufacture.
