Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine preparations, and particularly to a production preparation method of compound Shuanghua oral liquid with enhanced palatability. Background Technique

[0002] Compound Shuanghua oral liquid is composed of medicinal materials such as honeysuckle, isatis root, forsythia, and andrographis paniculata, and has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, and relieving sore throat and swelling. However, components such as andrographolide in andrographis paniculata have a strong bitter taste (the bitter taste threshold is as low as 0.001%), resulting in the following problems: 1. Poor compliance in taking medicine: Children are sensitive to bitter taste and are prone to resisting taking medicine, which affects the treatment effect.

[0003] 2. Limited taste masking effect: The existing technology relies on chemical sweeteners (such as acesulfame potassium, sucralose) and single cyclodextrin inclusion (such as hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin), but the bitter taste residue rate is still as high as 30% - 50%.

[0004] 3. Insufficient process stability: In the traditional water extraction and alcohol precipitation process, the transfer rate of effective components such as chlorogenic acid fluctuates greatly (±15%), and the batch quality varies significantly.

[0005] 4. Doubts about long-term safety: The long-term use of chemical flavoring agents may affect the balance of intestinal flora.

[0006] Summary of the defects of the existing technology: Comparative document 1 (application number 201310379305.3) uses supercritical CO2 extraction, but does not solve the bitter taste problem. Comparative document 2 (application number 202311418866.X) improves the component content by adjusting the decocting order, but the taste masking still relies on synthetic sweeteners. In the existing technology, the addition of honey does not cooperate deeply with the inclusion process, and the flavor correction is not thorough. Therefore, we propose a production preparation method of compound Shuanghua oral liquid with enhanced palatability. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a production preparation method of compound Shuanghua oral liquid with enhanced palatability.

[0008] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A production preparation method of compound Shuanghua oral liquid with enhanced palatability, including the production preparation method of oral liquid, and the production preparation method of oral liquid includes the following steps: (1) Pretreatment of medicinal materials: Take andrographis paniculata, honeysuckle, isatis root, forsythia, honey and Chinese quince, wash them, and remove the core of Chinese quince and slice it (honey is liquid and does not require pretreatment); (2) Ultrasonic extraction: Ultrasonically treat the medicinal materials with water, and obtain the extract after rough filtration; (3) Integrated purification: Synchronously carry out supercritical CO2 extraction and ceramic membrane filtration on the extract, and collect the filtrate; (4)Gradient inclusion: ① Add hydroxypropyl- -cyclodextrin to the filtrate and stir for inclusion at 60°C; ② Cool down to 45°C, add -cyclodextrin and stir for inclusion; (5)Dynamic flavor correction: Calculate the dosage of sweetener based on the mathematical model of bitterness intensity and sweetener dosage, add honey (containing natural fructose) and smoked plum extract (containing organic acids) to synergistically correct the flavor and make up the volume; (6)Sterilization and filling: Sterilize and fill the medicinal liquid after filtration.

[0009] As a further scheme of the present invention: The dosages of the medicinal materials in step (1) are as follows: 250 g of Andrographis paniculata, 250 g of Lonicera japonica, 250 g of Isatis indigotica, 250 g of Forsythia suspense, 150 g of honey (liquid state) and 100 g of smoked plum.

[0010] As a further scheme of the present invention: The parameters of the ultrasonic treatment in step (2) are: frequency 40 kHz, temperature 60°C and time 60 min, and the water addition amount is 8 times the total mass of the medicinal materials.

[0011] As a further scheme of the present invention: The parameters of the supercritical CO2 extraction in step (3) are: pressure 25 MPa, temperature 35°C and time 2 h, and the molecular weight cut-off of the ceramic membrane is 1 kDa.

[0012] As a further scheme of the present invention: The addition amount of hydroxypropyl- -cyclodextrin in step (4) is 4% of the total mass of the filtrate, The addition amount of

[0013] -cyclodextrin is 2% of the total mass of the filtrate. ; In the formula, is the total amount of sweetener (unit: g), is the bitterness intensity coefficient ( = andrographolide content × 0.8), is the bitterness threshold (0.001%), is the relative sweetness of the sweetener (such as honey fructose = 0.7 (taking sucrose as 1), and smoked plum organic acid helps to balance the bitterness), is the inclusion efficiency (measured value 0.92).

[0014] As a further scheme of the present invention: In step (6), moist heat sterilization method is adopted for sterilization, and the parameters are 115°C and 30 min.

[0015] As a further solution of the present invention: in step (6), the liquid medicine is filtered through a 0.22 μm microporous filter membrane before filling.

[0016] The present invention also provides a compound Shuanghua oral liquid, whose bitterness acceptance score ≥ 9.0 (ISO3972 standard), and the relative standard deviation (RSD) of the chlorogenic acid transfer rate < 5%.

[0017] As a further solution of the present invention: prepared by the said method, and the content of andrographolide ≥ 98 mg / mL.

[0018] Adopting the above technical solutions, compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. The present invention precisely neutralizes bitter components through an innovative gradient inclusion process, achieving a qualitative leap in the bitter masking effect. The sensory evaluation is verified according to international standards, and the children's acceptance score reaches an excellent level (full score 10 points), completely solving the core problem that children resist taking medicine due to bitterness. This technology significantly improves the treatment compliance of patients, ensures the continuity of medication, provides a breakthrough solution for the field of children's medication, and at the same time provides a technical paradigm for the improvement of similar bitter drugs. 2. The present invention adopts an integrated extraction and purification technology to replace the traditional multi-step separation process, achieving a breakthrough in shortening the production cycle and reducing energy consumption. This process significantly converges the fluctuations in the transfer rate of active ingredients and significantly reduces the quality differences between batches, meeting the strict standards of large-scale industrial production. The technological breakthrough ensures the stability and reliability of the product efficacy, sets a new benchmark for the standardized production of traditional Chinese medicine preparations, and promotes the upgrading of industrial technology. 3. The present invention completely replaces chemical synthetic additives with natural flavoring components, fundamentally avoiding the safety risks of long-term medication. The synergistic effect of honey (containing natural fructose) and dark plum (containing malic acid and citric acid) in the innovative formula has been scientifically verified. While significantly improving the taste (sweet and sour balance), it simultaneously enhances the core efficacy of clearing heat and detoxifying, achieving the technical balance of "flavoring without sacrificing efficacy". This design breaks through the limitations of traditional flavor masking technologies, provides a solution with both excellent palatability and clinical efficacy for patients, and promotes the safety upgrade of traditional Chinese medicine preparations.
