ABSTRACT
Objective To optimize the optimum processing technology of Momordicae Semen cream using Box-Behnken design-response surface method (BBD-RSM). Methods The overall desirability (OD) of indexes of the content of 3-O-β-D- glucuronic acid methyl ester, β-sitosterol, and oleanolic acid and the content of fatty oil in gypsogenin was comprehensively evaluated, and BBD-RSM with three factors and three levels was used to study the effect of baking temperature and time, and pressing time on the processing technology of Momordicae Semen cream. Results According to the experiment, the optimum processing conditions were optimized: the baking time 1.68 h, the baking temperature 80 ℃, the pressing time 30 min, and the OD value was 0.777. Considering the actual situation, the optimum processing technology of Momordicae Semen was obtained by fine-tuning the baking time (A). That was, the baking time was 1.7 h, the baking temperature was 80 ℃, and the pressing time was 30 min. Also, the calculated OD values were 0.779, 0.783, 0.766, and its RSD was 1.15% through the obtained conditions in parallel with three batches of samples. Conclusion The processing technology optimized by Box-Behnken design-response surface method has the advantages of stable, good model prediction effect and a new processing technology for Momordicae Semen cream production.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for variety breeding,high yield and high quality cultivation of Momordica cochi-nchinensis. METHODS:Based on Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2015 edition,Vol Ⅰ),HPLC for determining the content of gyp-sogenin 3-O-β-D-glucuronic acid methyl ester in M. cochinchinensis was optimized,the contents of gypsogenin 3-O-β-D-glucuronic acid methyl ester in M. cochinchinensis from 14 production places of 8 provinces were compared,and cluster analysis was conduct-ed. Correlation of longitude,latitude and altitude with content of gypsogenin 3-O-β-D-glucuronic acid methyl ester in M. cochinchi-nensis was analyzed by SPSS17.0 software. RESULTS:Gypsogenin 3-O-β-D-glucuronic acid methyl ester in M. cochinchinensis showed good linear relationship in 0.05-0.5 mg/mL,regression equation was Y=4361.95X+67.3808(R2=0.9997);the limits of quantification and detection were 15.62 ng and 4.67 ng,respectively. Average recovery was 99.76%(RSD=1.36%,n=9). The content of gypsogenin 3-O-β-D-glucuronic acid methyl ester in M. cochinchinensis from 14 production places of 8 provinces had ex-tremely significant differences(P<0.01). Clustering analysis results indicated that M. cochinchinensis from 14 production places of 8 provinces were divided into Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ groups. Contents of gypsogenin 3-O-β-D-glucuronic acid methyl ester in M. cochi-nchinensis of Ⅲ,Ⅳ groups were relatively high,including Guangxi Pingnan,Guizhou Jiangkou,Guizhou Dejiang,Fujian Jian-yang and Hunan Huitong,in which,Guangxi Pingnan,Guizhou Jiangkou,Guizhou Dejiang and Hunan Huitong had high altitude and low latitude,Fujian Jianyang had high altitude. The content of gypsogenin 3-O-β-D-glucuronic acid methyl ester in M. cochi-nchinensis was positively correlated with altitude,while negatively correlated with longitude and latitude. CONCLUSIONS:HPLC is simple,accurate and reproducible for determining the content of gypsogenin 3-O-β-D-glucuronic acid methyl ester in M. cochi-nchinensis,and the determined contents of gypsogenin 3-O-β-D-glucuronic acid methyl ester in M. cochinchinensis from 14 produc-tion places of 8 provinces have reached the standard of Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2015 edition,Vol Ⅰ). Cultivation in Guangxi Pingnan,Guizhou Jiangkou,Guizhou Dejiang,Hunan Huitong and other areas with high altitude and low latitude helps to improve the content accumulation of gypsogenin 3-O-β-D-glucuronic acid methyl ester in M. cochinchinensis.
