Plant officinal hollow capsule and preparation method thereof

Abstract

A plant officinal hollow capsule comprises following components by weight percentage composition: 50% to 70% of arrowroot part zymolyte, 20% to 45% of a reinforcing agent, 0% to 6% of gelata, 0% to 10% of a plasticizing agent, 0% to 1% of a coagulant agent, 0% to 1% of a dispersing agent, 0% to 0.1% of food colorant and the balance water. The preparation method comprises the steps of (1) mixing the arrowroot part zymolyte with the reinforcing agent, the plasticizing agent and the food colorant; (2) adding the gelata into deionized water, boiling until the gelata completely melts, and adding the coagulant agent; (3) mixing two parts of the step (1) and the step (2) when the two parts are hot, adding the dispersing agent, stirring evenly, standing and removing air bubbles to achieve mixed liquid; (4) preparing the capsule through a capsule mold in a mold dipping method; and (5) demolding to obtain the plant officinal hollow capsule. The capsule can meet index standards of officinal capsules, can be used for accommodating powder, oil-shaped liquid, semisolid and paste, cannot be soft and deform in summer due to high temperature or be fragile in winter due to coldness and dry.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a medicinal plant hollow capsule and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a plant hollow capsule produced by coordinating a partial enzymatic hydrolyzate of kudzu root powder as a raw material, a reinforcing agent, a gelling agent, etc., and a preparation method thereof. technical background [0002] At present, the medicinal hollow capsules on the market are mainly produced from gelatin. Gelatin capsules are widely used in medicine and health care products. However, such hollow capsules derived from animals are not accepted in Islamic countries and some minority areas in my country. Influenced by zoonotic diseases, animal protein also has potential safety hazards to a certain extent, and gelatin capsules also have some defects. In summer or at higher temperatures, the shell of gelatin capsules is easy to soften and deform, which affects transportation and use. The shell is brittle, and certain ingredients in the drug m...

Problems solved by technology

[0002] At present, the medicinal hollow capsules on the market are mainly produced from gelatin. Gelatin capsules are widely used in medicine and health care products. However, such hollow capsules derived from animals are not accepted in Islamic countries and some minority areas in my country. Influenced by zoonotic diseases, animal protein also has potential safety hazards to a certain extent, and gelatin capsules also have some defects. In summer or at higher temperatures, the shell of gelatin capsules is easy to soften and deform, which affects transportation and use. The shell is brittle, and certain ingredients in the drug may cause cross-linking reactions in gelatin capsules, resulting in unqualified dissolution, etc.

[0003] In recent years, plant hollow capsules and microbial polysaccharide hollow capsules have appeared. For example, modified starch is used as a capsule raw material, which cannot be regarded as a natural plant capsule raw material due to chemical modification; starch film-forming properties are poor, and the starch film is easily broken. It is difficult to meet the requirements of friability when making capsules with mild starch; the quality of hollow capsules made of microbial polysaccharides such as pullulan is better, but the disintegration speed is slow, and the market has not yet been opened due to the high price of raw materials
