ultra-high pressure extraction apparatus for traditional Chinese medicines

Abstract

The present invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical universal apparatuses, particularly to an ultra-high pressure extraction apparatus for traditional Chinese medicines. The apparatus comprises a pressure container, a booster pump and a frame. A sealed pressurized cover is arranged on the top of the pressure container, a feed liquid tank is arranged in the pressure container, the pressure container is arranged on the frame, the bottom of the feed liquid tank is connected with a delivery pipe, the delivery pipe is connected with a pressure media tank, the pressure media tank is connected with the booster pump, the right of the booster pump is connected with a booster controller, the bottom of the booster controller is connected with a reversing valve, and the bottom of the reversing valve is connected with an oil tank. By adopting an ultra-high pressure technology, the ultra-high pressure technology is a relatively ideal medicine extraction method in recent years. The apparatus has the characteristics of being fast, efficient, low in energy consumption and environmental-friendly if medicines are extracted. The apparatus provides mass-transfer power depending on pressure, avoids medicine damage caused by nonuniform heating and ensures the biological activity of medicines. The whole apparatus is compact in structure, simple in principle and worth being promoted.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of general pharmaceutical equipment, in particular to a traditional Chinese medicine ultra-high pressure extraction device. Background technique [0002] The ingredients contained in traditional Chinese medicine are very complex, including active ingredients and ineffective ingredients, and the active ingredients are mostly intracellular substances. The extraction of active ingredients is actually the release of the target ingredients from the cells and diffusion into the solvent through the porous cell membrane wall. Regardless of the extraction method, the purpose of the process is to enhance the diffusion of the target component from the matrix to the extraction solvent while maintaining the activity of the target component. In order to improve the therapeutic effect of traditional Chinese medicine and reduce adverse reactions, it is very important to choose a reasonable extraction process At present, the commonly ...

[0002] The ingredients contained in traditional Chinese medicine are very complex, including active ingredients and ineffective ingredients, and the active ingredients are mostly intracellular substances. The extraction of active ingredients is actually the release of the target ingredients from the cells and diffusion into the solvent through the porous cell membrane wall. Regardless of the extraction method, the purpose of the process is to enhance the diffusion of the target component from the matrix to the extraction solvent while maintaining the activity of the target component. In order to improve the therapeutic effect of traditional Chinese medicine and reduce adverse reactions, it is very important to choose a reasonable extraction process At present, the commonly used extraction methods of traditional Chinese medicine include decoction method, dipping method, reflux extraction method, Soxhlet extraction method, etc. These methods have problems such as high energy consumption, large solvent consumption, long cycle, many processes, and low extraction rate. In order to overcome these shortcomings, it is extremely important to seek a new efficient, fast, convenient and automatic extraction method. The emergence of ultra-high pressure extraction technology conforms to the requirements of this development trend. The application field of ultra-high pressure technology It is very extensive and provides a new platform for scientific research, product development, and process innovation in biology, medicine, and food engineering. Ultra-high pressure technology was initially used in food preservation, food quality improvement, food safety control, food emulsification, and molding. This has promoted the applied basic research of related biotechnology, which has expanded from the field of food to the field of medicine, and has penetrated into the basic research of biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology and physical chemistry. With the gradual increase of technology and the maturity of technology development, ultra-high pressure technology has begun to be applied to the extraction of active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine, but at present, there is no good design for ultra-high pressure technology in pharmaceuticals in China.
