Abstract:Objective:To optimize clarification process for extract of Aike capsule by chitosan. Method: With the content of paeoniflorin,saikosaponin-a and extract yield as comprehensive evaluation index,solid-liquid ratio,the amount of chitosan,stirring temperature and stirring time were selected as factors,orthogonal test was carried out to optimize clarification process of Aike capsule. Result: Optimum clarification process of Aike capsule extract was:solid-liquid ratio 1: 5,stirring time 10 min at 60℃,added chitosan 14 mL per 100 mL extraction solution. Conclusion: This optimized process had advantages of good stability,low cost and high extraction rate of paeoniflorin and saikosaponin-a,it was suitable for clinical development of Aike capsule.
