This invention relates to the field of
traditional Chinese medicine technology, specifically to a method for preparing concentrated
Astragalus membranaceus pills and its application, including the following steps: (1) preparing a clear extract by
alcohol extraction; (2) making pills by
plastic molding; (3)
drying the pills at a constant temperature. In the
pill-making process, this invention selects 100-mesh
Astragalus membranaceus mixed
fine powder and adopts a
mass ratio of clear extract to
fine powder of 1:2. Since the 100-mesh
powder has a uniform particle size and a moderate specific surface area, it can fully contact and bond with the clear extract, avoiding the problem of the pills being rough and cracked due to excessive particle size and the pills being too fine due to excessive
moisture dissipation. The 1:2 ratio makes the soft material suitable for its softness and
hardness, so that it will not be loose and difficult to form due to excessive
powder ratio, nor will it cause adhesion and blockage of the mold due to excessive clear extract ratio. Combined with the gradient
humidity soft material preparation technology, 60%
purified water is added first and mixed evenly, and then the remaining water is added in two batches. Low-frequency vibration is applied simultaneously for mixing, which can make the internal
humidity of the soft material uniform and the bonding force stable, thereby obtaining wet pills with
smooth surface, round shape and no cracks.
