Abstract:Objective: To optimize preparation process of children anti-sweating granules and provide a reference for clinical application of this preparation. Method: UV was adopted to determine the content of total saponins with detection wavelength of 541 nm.Children anti-sweating granules was prepared by extrusion granulation method,with total saponin content and dissolving time as comprehensive evaluation index,orthogonal test was adopted to optimize preparation process by taking water extraction time,alcohol precipitation concentration,ratio of dextrin-extract as factors,quality of this preparation was evaluated. Result: Optimal preparation process was as following:water extraction for 5 h,alcohol precipitation volume fraction of 60%,extract-dextrin(1:1.5);three batches of these granules had uniform particle size with brown,slightly sweet taste and consistent color,without moisture absorption,caking and deliquescence phenomenon.Dissolving time of these granules was 194 s,moisture content was 4.75%,the content of total saponins was 56.13 mg·g-1. Conclusion: This preparation process is stable,repeatable and feasible for children anti-sweating granules.
