Optimization of Processing Technology and Study on Hypoglycemic Activity of Charred Hawthorn
Objective:To explore the optimal processing technology of charred hawthorn and its hypoglycemic effect.Methods:The optimal processing technology for charred hawthorn is achieved through orthogonal experi-ments,with alcohol extract and organic acid content which are quality inspection components in hawthorn phar-macopoeia as comprehensive indicators,and dosage,frying time,and frying temperature as factors to be exam-ined.Then,the α-amylase inhibition rate,α-glucosidase inhibition rate,and glucose dialysis delay index of the ethanol extract from charred hawthorn were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay reader to an-alyze its hypoglycemic activity.Results:The optimal process for processing charred hawthorn is to add 80g of med-icine,stir fry for 10 minutes,and stir fry at a temperature of 200℃.The alcohol soluble extract content of charred hawthorn processed by this method is 22.30%,and the organic acid content is 6.34%,which meets the requirements of the pharmacopoeia.The ethanol extract of hawthorn has a concentration of 10.0 mg/mL,with an inhibition rate of 98.0%for α-glucosidase and 86.0%for α-amylase.The glucose dialysis delay index is 70.6%when the dialysis time is 10 minutes.Conclusion:The optimized processing technology of charred hawthorn ob-tained from orthogonal experiments is feasible,and the ethanol extract has a good hypoglycemic effect.It can pro-vide reference for standardizing the processing technology of charred hawthorn and provide theoretical basis and da-ta reference for the hypoglycemic products of charred hawthorn.
