Abstract:Objective: To optimize water extraction technology of Xinmaikang tablets. Method: Heat circulating reflux extraction and concentration unit was taken,with yield of dry extract and the content of synephrine as indexes,the latter was determined by HPLC,effects of extraction time,the amount of water and vapor pressure on extraction technology of Xinmaikang tablets was investigated by orthogonal test. Result: Optimal extraction technology was as following:reflux extracted 4 h with 15 folds the amount of water,vapor pressure 0.15 MPa. Conclusion: This optimized extraction procedure was stable and reliable,and it could be used as industrial production extraction technology of Xinmaikang tablets.
