Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicine pharmaceutical equipment technology, specifically an ethanol recovery device for the production of donkey-hide gelatin blood-tonifying oral liquid. Background Technology
[0002] Patent CN1579435A discloses a blood-tonifying oral liquid made from donkey-hide gelatin and its preparation method. Specifically, the preparation method follows these steps: a. Extraction of Atractylodes macrocephala and Lycium barbarum: Atractylodes macrocephala and Lycium barbarum are soaked in approximately 2-2.5 times their volume of 60% ethanol for 3 hours, then packed into a column, ensuring the ethanol level is 3-5 cm above the medicinal material. Percolation is performed using 4-8 times their volume of 60% ethanol at a flow rate of 1-g / ml / second, and the percolate is collected for later use. b. Extraction of Codonopsis pilosula and Astragalus membranaceus: Codonopsis pilosula and Astragalus membranaceus are soaked in approximately 2-2.5 times their volume of 25% ethanol for 3 hours, then packed into a column, ensuring the ethanol level is 3-5 cm above the medicinal material. Percolation is performed using 5-7 times their volume of 25% ethanol at a flow rate of 1-8 ml / second, and the percolate is collected for later use. c. Ethanol recovery: The percolates are combined, and the ethanol is recovered to obtain a clear extract for later use. d. Extraction of Rehmannia glutinosa: Rehmannia glutinosa is placed in an extraction tank, soaked in 8 times its volume of water for 30 minutes, then steam-extracted for 2 hours. The decoction is filtered and stored in a storage tank. The extract was decocted twice using the same method, with the amount of water added being 4 times and 3 times, and the extraction times being 1 hour and 0.5 hours, respectively. The extract in the storage tank was pumped into a triple-effect energy-saving concentrator and concentrated to a specific gravity of 1.05-1.15 (measured at 80℃). The clear extract was then set aside. e. Dissolving the donkey-hide gelatin: The specified amount of donkey-hide gelatin was added to an appropriate amount of water and dissolved. The solution was then filtered and set aside. f. Dissolving the sugar: An appropriate amount of water was heated to boiling, and the specified amount of sucrose was added. The mixture was stirred until dissolved and then filtered. g. Preparing the finished product: The clear extract, supernatant, and donkey-hide gelatin solution obtained from c, d, and e were mixed, precipitated, filtered, and then sucrose solution and preservatives were added. The mixture was heated to boiling, diluted with water to the specified volume, and then finely filtered and packaged.
