Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of preparation methods, in particular to a preparation method of a hibiscus sabdariffa L. loquat alcohol-containing tablet. BACKGROUND

[0002] Drinking is an important form of social activity in modern society, widely existing in business negotiations, holiday parties and daily leisure scenes. However, the health problems caused by excessive drinking are increasingly prominent. In the short term, it can manifest as acute hangover symptoms such as headache, nausea, vomiting, and inattention, and in the long term, it can lead to chronic diseases such as liver steatosis, cirrhosis, gastrointestinal mucosa damage, and nervous system function degradation. According to the World Health Organization, more than 3 million people die from alcohol-related diseases every year, of which liver diseases account for more than 40%, highlighting the severity of alcohol harm.

[0003] At present, there are various types of alcohol products on the market, including chemical synthetic drugs, natural plant extracts and functional foods, but they all have technical defects. Chemical alcohol products (such as products containing naloxone) can quickly relieve symptoms, but may cause drug dependence and side effects such as dizziness and palpitations; natural ingredient products (such as pueraria powder and curcumin capsules) have low bioavailability and slow onset, making it difficult to meet the immediate alcohol relief needs. In addition, the existing alcohol products are mainly in the form of oral liquid, capsule or powder, which have problems such as bitter taste, need to be taken with water, and inconvenience to carry. Especially in social situations, consumers urgently need alcohol products that do not require water and can be directly taken, but the market has not provided an effective solution.

[0004] Hibiscus sabdariffa L. is a traditional medicinal and edible plant. Its calyx is rich in polyphenols (such as cyanidin-3-glucoside), organic acids (citric acid, malic acid) and vitamin C, and has significant antioxidant and liver protection effects. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that hibiscus sabdariffa L. extract can accelerate ethanol metabolism to acetic acid by up-regulating the activities of liver alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), and shorten the retention time of alcohol in the body; at the same time, its polyphenol components can scavenge free radicals generated during alcohol metabolism, reduce the damage of oxidative stress to liver cells and gastric mucosa, and thus relieve hangover symptoms. However, in the existing technology, hibiscus sabdariffa L. is mostly used in the form of dried calyx direct infusion or simple water extract, which has problems such as low dissolution rate of active ingredients and poor stability, and lacks dosage form design for alcohol relief scenarios, resulting in that its alcohol relief efficiency has not been fully explored.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an efficient, convenient and good-tasting alcohol relief product. SUMMARY

[0006] The present application intends to provide a preparation method of a Lobelia chinensis anti-alcoholic lozenge, and solve the problem that the existing anti-alcoholic products cannot balance high efficiency and safety.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical scheme of the present application is as follows: a preparation method of a Lobelia chinensis anti-alcoholic lozenge, the lozenge is made of the following raw materials by weight: Lobelia chinensis extract 5-15 parts, Pueraria lobata extract 5-15 parts, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose 1-5 parts, xylitol 5-10 parts, magnesium stearate 0.5-1.5 parts, and water 1000ml; the preparation method of the lozenge comprises the following steps:

[0008] S1, each raw material is weighed according to the weight;

[0009] S2, the Lobelia chinensis extract, the Pueraria lobata extract, the xylitol, and the hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose are uniformly mixed to obtain a mixture;

[0010] S3, the magnesium stearate is added to the mixture, and the mixture is uniformly mixed and then pressed into a tablet to obtain the Lobelia chinensis anti-alcoholic lozenge.

[0011] Further, the content of cyanidin-3-glucoside in the Lobelia chinensis extract is ≥5% (w / w), the content of puerarin in the Pueraria lobata extract is ≥8% (w / w), and the total content of the active ingredients of the two is 10%-30% of the weight of the lozenge.

[0012] Further, the particle size of the xylitol is 80-120 mesh, and the ratio of the addition amount of the xylitol to the total weight of the Lobelia chinensis extract and the Pueraria lobata extract is 1:1-1:2. The balance of the sweet and sour taste and the anti-alcoholic activity of the lozenge is balanced.

[0013] Further, the viscosity of the hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose is 50-150 mPa·s, and the addition amount of the hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose accounts for 5%-15% of the total weight of the lozenge for adjusting the hardness and disintegration performance of the lozenge.

[0014] Further, the particle size of the magnesium stearate is 100-200 mesh, and the addition amount of the magnesium stearate accounts for 0.5%-2% of the total weight of the mixture. The phenomenon of sticking or cracking in the tabletting process is prevented.

[0015] Further, the tablet specifications of the lozenge are as follows: the diameter is 8-12mm, the thickness is 3-5mm, the single tablet weight is 0.8-1.5g, the hardness is controlled at 40-80N, and the friability is ≤1%.

[0016] Further, the disintegration time of the lozenge in artificial saliva at 37℃ is 30 seconds to 3 minutes, and the pH value of the solution after disintegration is 5-6.5, and there is no visible particle residue.

[0017] Further, the storage conditions of the lozenge are: sealed from light, relative humidity ≤ 60%, and the effective period at room temperature is 12 months, and the attenuation rate of the active ingredient content during the period is ≤ 10%.

[0018] Further, in the preparation process of the lozenge, the mixing temperature of the mixture is 25-30℃, the mixing time is 15-20 minutes, and the mixing speed is 60-80r / min.

[0019] Further, the taste optimization standard of the lozenge is: the sweet-sour ratio of xylitol: extract sourness is 1:0.8-0.9:1.1, and the taste perception is clear within 30 seconds after entry, without obvious grit or sticky teeth phenomenon.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present scheme are:

[0021] 1. The loquat flower extract (cyanidin-3-glucoside content ≥ 5% (w / w)) is used as the core active ingredient, and the pueraria root extract (puerarin content ≥ 8% (w / w)) is used as the traditional alcoholism-preventing and liver-protecting medicinal material. Modern pharmacological research has proved that the loquat flower extract has a unique mechanism of action, which can up-regulate the activities of liver alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), thereby accelerating the process of ethanol metabolism into acetic acid, effectively shortening the residence time of alcohol in the body. The polyphenol components contained therein can also scavenge free radicals generated during alcohol metabolism, reducing the damage to liver cells and gastric mucosa caused by oxidative stress.

[0022] 2. In the present application, the pueraria root, as a traditional alcoholism-preventing and liver-protecting medicinal material, cooperates with the loquat flower to form a strong complementary effect. The total content of the active ingredients of the two is 10%-30% of the weight of the lozenge, which greatly improves the alcoholism-preventing and liver-protecting function of the lozenge. The use of the lozenge can effectively relieve the discomfort symptoms such as headache, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms caused by hangover, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as liver steatosis, liver cirrhosis, gastrointestinal mucosa damage and nervous system function degradation caused by long-term drinking.

[0023] 3. Compared with the existing natural ingredient products on the market (such as pueraria powder and curcumin capsules), the loquat flower alcoholism-preventing lozenge has unique advantages. It does not need to go through a complex digestion and absorption process, and can directly enter the blood circulation through oral administration, quickly exerting the alcoholism-preventing and liver-protecting effect. Moreover, xylitol replaces sucrose to adjust the taste, and its cooling property can also relieve the post-drinking dry heat. The overall effect is mild and non-irritating, avoiding the side effects such as drug dependence, dizziness and palpitations that may be caused by chemical alcoholism-preventing agents (such as those containing naloxone).

[0024] 4. This invention involves no solvent addition throughout the entire process and requires no recovery equipment such as rotary evaporation. Production can be completed through a very simple process of dry powder mixing, tableting, and packaging, which greatly reduces energy consumption and costs. It requires little equipment and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and rapid industrial production. Detailed Implementation
