RESEARCH TO COMPLETE THE PROCESS OF PROCESSING SOPHORA JAPONICA FLOWER TO STABILIZE BLOOD PRESSURE

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop and complete the processing process of Sophora Japonica herbal soluble nuggets. Medicinal herbs are dried and their composition determined by physicochemical analysis method, then extracted with water by Shoxlet extractor at boiling temperature to obtain the extract, then rotated under vacuum to obtain the extract. mixed with Lactose to obtain a shaped sieve mixture and then dried to obtain nuggets, sensory evaluation of the product by scoring method according to TCVN 3215-79. Results determined moisture content 5.1%, total ash content 6.4%, rutin 25.01%; research and perfect the production process including the following parameters: drying temperature 70ºC to 12% humidity in 390 minutes, extraction of rutin in 90 minutes, ratio of raw materials and solvents is 1/25, Concentrate the extract at a temperature of 55ºC, the ratio of mixed is 20/80, then the powder is dried at 60ºC, pack and preserve the product. In 2g of soluble nuggets, rutin is 7.24%, moisture is 4.5%. The resulting product has a bright yellow color, a characteristic aroma of flowers, and a harmonious sweet taste.
