Objective To optimize the extraction process of Jingfang Children Oral Liquid. Methods Orthogonal test design and information entropy theory were used to study the influence of water volume and extraction time on extraction process with transferring rates of amygdalin, prim-O-glucosylcimifugin and 5-O-methylvisammioside, and extract yield as evaluation indexes. Results The optimal extraction process conditions were as follows: the ratio of water volume to raw materials weight was 10:1, extraction time was 1.0 h and extracted twice under reflu...
