The application belongs to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicines, and particularly relates to a
capsule containing
motherwort extract and a preparation method thereof. The
capsule comprises a
capsule shell and contents in the capsule shell; the contents are composed of
motherwort extract and
starch, and the weight ratio of
motherwort used for preparing the motherwort extract to the
starch is (2150-2895):(39-108); the capsule shell is composed of the following raw materials in parts by weight:
modified cellulose 30-40 parts, sea hao vegetable
polysaccharide 10-20 parts, gelling agent 3-6 parts,
plasticizer 5-10 parts, and water 60-70 parts. In the preparation of the capsule shell, the
modified cellulose and the sea hao vegetable
polysaccharide are used in combination, the addition of the
modified cellulose can improve the disintegration performance and stability of the capsule shell, and the addition of the sea hao vegetable
polysaccharide can improve the mechanical performance of the capsule shell, so that the prepared capsule containing the motherwort extract has excellent storage stability, mechanical performance and disintegration performance.
