Methods Microcapsules (MC) were prepared by an emulsification solvent extraction method, and then the properties and in vitro drug release behavior of MC were examined. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to test the statistical significance. Then, multiple comparisons were made with a T method between levels to examine the significance of difference further. For all the results a P value 】0 05 was considered statistically insignificant . Results Under the same conditions, the water adding speed and the particle size had significant effects ( P 【0 01) on the entrapment efficiency of MC; the water adding speed and the concentration of PLA in the oil phase had significant effects ( P 【0 01) on the diameter MC in medium. Release of E 2 from MC was influenced significantly ( P 【0 01) by the water adding speed and the type and molecule weight of the polymers. But the differences between levels of the variates were not all significant. Conclusion E 2 PLA/PLGA MC with various properties can be formed when the formulation and the technology were changed accordingly.展开更多

Fractional factorial design, central composite design and response surface methodology were used to derive a statistically optimal model, which corresponded to the following optimal condition: concentration of lactic acid at 5.55 mol/L, ratio of ethanol to yeast dry weight at 20.25 ml/g, temperature for cell-disruption at 30 ℃, and extraction time for 3 min. Under this condition, astaxanthin and the total carotenoids could be extracted in amounts of 1294.7 μg/g and 1516.0 μg/g, respectively. This acidic method has advantages such as high extraction efficiency, low chemical toxicity and no special requirement of instruments. Therefore, it might be a more feasible and practical method for industrial practice.展开更多

The factors affecting the extraction rate include interfacial area between aqueous phase and organic phase, initial concentration of boric acid in aqueous phase, initial concentration of 2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol in organic phase, and extraction temperature. The experimental results show that the extraction rate increases with the increase of the initial concentration of boric acid and2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol, interfacial area of two phases, and temperature. With the temperature-dependence study, it is showed that the extraction is a diffusion-controlled process. The kinetic equation is presented for pH 1.0 in the aqueous phase and temperature of 318 K.展开更多

The solution was stirred for 8 min at phase ratio (Vσ/Va) of 1.0:1.0, initial pH of 2.0 and stirring speed of 200 r/min. The results show that 75% zinc can be extracted from the zinc sulfate solution when the concentration of zinc is 18.7 g/L after being settled for 10 min. 88.60% zinc can be stripped by 196 g/L sulfuric acid, and zinc ion can be separated from ferric ion.展开更多

THF was added in the organic phase to study itseffects on the properties of MS. Methods MS were formed by an emulsification-solvent extractionmethod with mixture of ethyl acetate (EtoAc) and tetrahydrofuran (THF) as the organic solvents, andthen the properties and in vitro drug release behavior were examined. Results The results indicatedthat the drug loading efficiency decreased when THF added, but when the ratio of EtoAc was more than50% , there was no obvious effect of THF ratio, but the particle size increased accordingly. Thecarriers' properties and the drug contents were the main factors influencing the in vitro drugrelease. Conclusions By controlling the technology and formulation, we can get sustained-release E_2biodegradable microsperes with proper particle size, drug content and low burst-release, althoughTHF with readily solubility in water was used in the organic phase.展开更多

As the capsule’s main active component, chlorogenic acid comes from the extraction of Chinese herb medicine Flos Lonicerae. The chlorogenic acid in capsule was ultrasonically extracted at room temperature using pure water as solvent. The extracting solution was enriched and cleaned using HC-C18 SPE cartridge. The effect of ultrasonic extraction, sample pretreatment conditions via SPE and q NMR experimental conditions were investigated. The q NMR experiment conditions were selected using deuterated DMSO as solvent, calibrated 1,4-phthalaldehyde as internal standard, and P1(pulse width) = 14.4 μs, d1(pulse delay time) = 1 s, NS(number of scan) = 512. The 1 H NMR peaks of δ 6.138–6.182(H-8’, d, 1 H) of chlorogenic acid was chosen as the quantitative peaks. Method validation was performed, including precision(the intra-day RSD = 1.2% and the inter-day RSD = 1.5%), linearity(correlation coefficient r>0.9999), LOD(0.0017 mg/g) and LOQ(0.079 mg/g). The recovery of the SPE-q NMR was within the range of 100.2%–103.2%. The result showed that the method was stable, accurate and reliabile. Determined by the method, the chlorogenic acid in a real Shuanghuanglian capsule was within the range of 9.68–10.35 mg/g.展开更多
