The invention belongs to the pharmaceutical field, which relates to
sodium carboxy methyl
starch and a preparation method thereof. Products prepared by the existing preparation method of the
sodium carboxy methyl
starch are poor in clarification, have a plurality of white blocks, are extremely low
in degree of substitution and are not in accordance with pharmaceutical standards; the technical problem solved by the invention is the improvement to the existing method, and the obtained products are colorless, transparent, uniform, exquisite and are in accordance with the pharmaceutical standards. The preparation method comprises the following steps: A.
starch is hydrolyzed and gelatinized in a water solution with
alcohol; B. carboxymethylation is carried out; and C pulpous products are settled, still stood overnight, filtered,
alcohol precipitated, disssolved repeatedly, settled so as to obtain the
sodium carboxy methyl starch; and the improvement lies in that a method of gradient heating is adopted to heat
room temperature to 85 DEG C for carring out heating during the
hydrolysis and gelatinization in the step A. The sodium carboxy methyl starch prepared by the preparation method is completely in accordance with requirements of the sodium carboxy methyl starch in ministry standards, which can satisfy the demands of the sodium carboxy methyl starch to be applied as
immunity regulation medicines and is used for treating diseases, such as child repetitive respiratory infections and the induced bronchial
asthma and the llike.
