Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of health food technology and relates to a compressed candy made from Phyllanthus emblica and Cistanche deserticola. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine recognizes kidney yin deficiency and commonly uses tonifying herbs such as Cistanche deserticola, Rehmannia glutinosa, and Lycium barbarum. Traditional applications and modern research on Cistanche deserticola mainly include its effects of tonifying kidney yang, nourishing essence and blood, and moistening the intestines to relieve constipation. Its main active ingredients are phenylethanoid glycosides such as echinacoside and verbascoside. Currently, the following problems exist with Cistanche deserticola-based kidney-tonifying health products / foods (including compressed candies): 1. Its effects are singular, focusing on tonifying kidney yang, and it is insufficient or not very effective for kidney yin deficiency.
[0003] 2. The raw materials are mostly coarse powder or simple water extracts, with low content of active ingredients, poor stability, and low bioavailability. The formulation lacks scientific basis and synergistic effect research.
[0004] 3. During the tableting process, Cistanche deserticola extract is prone to absorbing moisture and sticking, which leads to difficulties in tableting, long disintegration time, poor taste, and poor release of active ingredients. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above problems and provide a compressed candy containing Phyllanthus emblica and Cistanche deserticola.

[0007] Furthermore, the Cistanche deserticola extract is prepared by reflux extraction of the fleshy stem of Cistanche deserticola, followed by vacuum concentration and drying using 50-70% (v / v) ethanol aqueous solution, wherein the total content of echinacoside and verbascoside is not less than 15%.
[0008] Furthermore, the weight ratio of the Cistanche deserticola extract to the Yin-nourishing herbal extract is (1:0.5) - (1:1).
[0009] Furthermore, the filler comprises microcrystalline cellulose and mannitol, and the weight ratio of microcrystalline cellulose to mannitol is (2:1) - (4:1).
[0010] Furthermore, the disintegrant is croscarmellose sodium or croscarmellose, and 50-70% is an internal disintegrant and 30-50% is an external disintegrant.
[0011] Furthermore, the lubricant includes magnesium stearate and micronized silica gel, with the amount of magnesium stearate being 0.8-1.5 parts and the amount of micronized silica gel being 0.1-0.5 parts.
[0012] This invention also provides a preparation process for the above-mentioned Phyllanthus emblica and Cistanche deserticola compressed candy, comprising: (1) Preparation of Cistanche deserticola extract: Crush the fleshy stems of Cistanche deserticola and extract them by reflux with 50-70% (v / v) ethanol aqueous solution at 70-85℃ for 1-3 times, each time for 1-3 hours. Combine the extracts, concentrate under reduced pressure to a relative density of 1.10-1.25 (60℃), spray dry or freeze dry under vacuum to obtain an extract powder with a total content of echinacoside and verbascoside ≥15%; (2) Preparation of extracts from yin-nourishing medicinal materials; (3) Mixing: Mix the Cistanche deserticola extract obtained in step (1), the Yin-nourishing herb extract obtained in step (2), the microcrystalline cellulose in the filler and the disintegrant in the internal part evenly, then add the mannitol in the filler and mix evenly, and finally add the lubricant and the remaining external disintegrant and mix evenly to obtain the mixture. (4) Tableting: The mixture is pressed into tablet cores under conditions where the relative humidity is below 40%. (5) Optional coating: a thin film coating layer is wrapped around the core.
[0013] Furthermore, in step (3), the mixing is carried out in a three-dimensional motion mixer, with a total mixing time of 15-30 minutes, of which the mixing time after adding lubricant and external disintegrant is 2-5 minutes.
[0014] Furthermore, the tableting pressure in step (4) is 8-15 kN.
