Description

Method for extracting effective ingredient from herb material}

The present invention relates to a method for extracting an active ingredient from a medicinal herb. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for extracting an active ingredient from a medicinal herb comprising the step of extracting the active ingredient into a coffee machine, paste prepared by weighing and drying the medicinal herbs. The active ingredient of the medicine may be included in herbal medicine or herbal tea.

According to ancient medical literature, such as Dongbobogam or Herbal Wood, various effects of traditional Korean herbal medicines have been reported. In recent years, the efficacy of these medicines has been proved through scientific clinical trials, and in recent years, the use of herbal medicines has been gradually increasing to the incurable diseases that cannot be solved.

As a method of manufacturing a Chinese medicine, a conventional method of using a decoction was used, traditionally, decoction method is a method of putting the medicinal herbs together with water in a pot made of earthenware or porcelain, decoction for a long time, and then squeezed the contents of the decoction in burlap cloth.

To date, large-scale stainless steel mixers for mass production are used by mixing medicines with water, heating them, and then squeezing them by mechanical crimping means.

Chinese medicine is usually formulated in the form of extracts, powders or pills. The extract is made by decoction after extraction of the medicinal herb in liquid form, or by the excipient such as starch, glucose, or lactose into the liquid extracted by decoction of medicinal herb. Powders are powdered without decoction and are made into powder. Some powders can be taken as it is or dissolved in water, vinegar, etc., and applied to the skin. It is rarely used in Korea. A pill is made of round pills with a size that is easy to take without adding medicinal herbs into flour and adding honey or flour.

Among them, the conventional Chinese medicine manufactures and sells herbal medicines in the form of extracts which are sealed and then put in a packaging container for the convenience of the user.

Extracts in liquid form are convenient when used, but have a problem that they cannot be stored for more than three months even when refrigerated.

The manufacture of extracts in solid form also requires the addition of excipients such as starch, glucose or lactose to the squeezed liquid. These excipients are added to the formulation of the herbal medicine separately from the active ingredient of the drug, so the excipient addition process may be inconvenient to manufacture the herbal medicine. In addition, some people are allergic to excipients, so the use of excipients can be dangerous for people who need to take herbal medicines.

In addition, in general, when decoctions such as when manufacturing the extract, a large amount of medicinal herbs may be put into the medicinal bath at the same time, but may be a small amount as needed. However, if you do so in a small amount so that you need to weigh the herbs whenever necessary, there is a problem that a lot of time and effort and cost. In addition, during the manufacture of Chinese medicine, put the medicine usually 3-4 hours, so there is a problem that takes a lot of time and effort in the manufacturing process.

As a method related to the manufacture of Chinese medicine, Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 1996-0000241 discloses a method for extracting an active ingredient from a herbal medicine, wherein water is added to the fresh or dried herbal medicine including culture cells as an extraction solvent and irradiated with microwaves. Disclosed is a method for extracting an active ingredient from a herbal medicine, characterized in that the extraction by extraction. However, the above method only discloses extraction by irradiation with microwaves in order to increase the extraction efficiency of the active ingredient from the herbal medicine, and finally the Chinese medicine prepared as a liquid medicine, such as extract, requires an excipient addition process Shall be. In addition, there is a problem in that it is difficult to store for a long time because the liquid state as in the conventional extract agent.

In another method related to the manufacture of Chinese medicine, Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 1998-0035153 discloses an apparatus in which a herbal medicine such as herbal medicine is dried at a moisture content of 0.5-0.7%, removes the first taste and smell, and connects a cooler to a pressure cooker with a steamer. Steam the medicine to 80-100 ℃ with alcohol and distilled water, sterilize 6% alcohol into the medicine with water vapor, maintain a constant pressure, cool the water vapor, remove secondary reverse odor and taste, and cool the liquid again. Disclosed is a method of manufacturing a herbal medicine that is repeatedly steamed by a pressure cooker. However, the method is also finally prepared in the form of a Chinese medicine, such as extract in the form of a Chinese medicine, requires an excipient addition process. In addition, there is a problem in that it is difficult to store for a long time because the liquid state as in the conventional extract agent.

As another method related to the manufacture of Chinese medicine, Patent No. 10-0830733, the step of extracting the extract by mixing the herbal medicine raw material and water and then heated for 4-8 hours at a temperature of 60-80 ℃; Decomposing the extract contained in the extract into 20-200 KHz frequency range of ultrasonic waves for 10-60 seconds to decompose the fine particles; Heating the extract at 460-660 mmHg pressure and 60-90 ° C. for 4-8 hours to generate steam; And condensing the generated steam to form a distillate. However, although the method discloses heating 4-8 hours at a temperature of 60-90 ° C. at sub-atmospheric pressure, in particular at a pressure of 460-660 mmHg, to generate steam from the herbal extracts, the manufacture of herbal medicines in coffee machines It is not starting. In addition, the Chinese medicine prepared from the above method also requires a process using an excipient as an extract and there is a problem in storing for a long time as a liquid state.

Accordingly, there is a need for a method of extracting an active ingredient of a medicinal herb that solves all the above problems and allows a user to use the active ingredient of a herbal medicine at home or where it is needed.

Extraction of active ingredients of medicinal products that must be made with conventional extracts does not require the use of excipients such as starch, glucose or lactose, and can be stored longer than conventional extracts and does not require the use of packaging containers such as packaging vinyl. To provide.

It provides a way to shorten the time it takes to extract the medicine to be made with extracts.

Rather than having to weigh the prescription medicines at once, it provides a way to mix and dry each medicine individually and mix according to the prescription.

Where the user is needed where there is a coffee machine provides a method that can be used to manufacture herbal medicine or herbal tea on the fly.

In order to achieve the above object, it provides a method for extracting the active ingredient of the medicine using a coffee machine.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail.

Method for extracting the active ingredient of the medicine using a coffee machine according to an embodiment of the present invention,

Preparing a paste by weighing the medicine;

Drying the paste; And

The dried paste may be put into a coffee machine to extract the active ingredient of the medicinal herbs.

(Step of preparing the paste by decoction)

As used herein, the term 'paste' refers to a form such as porridge or dough containing solids such as residues or lumps of decoctions.

The step of preparing the paste by weighing the medicinal herbs may include the step of preparing a paste, such as porridge, containing the residue or lump of the medicinal herb by weighing the mixture of the medicinal herb and water.

A mixture of medicinal herbs and water may be prepared by using a 1: 1 weight ratio of medicinal herbs and water. However, the ratio of the medicinal herbs and water can be adjusted according to the type of medicinal herbs, the temperature of the medicinal herbs and the time of the medicinal herbs. For example, when the medicine needs to be long, the ratio of water to the medicine can be increased, and when the medicine needs to be shortened, the ratio of water to the medicine can be lowered. If the medicine does not mix well with water, such as mineral medicine or animal medicine, the ratio of water to medicine can be lowered.

In addition, the mixture of medicines and water may include alcohol together.

Decoupling the mixture of medicinal herbs and water may include a step of decoction for about 2-4 hours at about 60-80 ℃ after the medicinal herbs boil.

Specifically, the step of preparing the paste decoction may include the following process.

1) The process of grinding herbs.

It is the process of grinding herbs to the right size. Preferably, the medicine is roughly ground in a large particle form. This can effectively extract the active ingredient of the medicinal herb, but after decoction of the drug can be used as excipients or residues of the resulting medicinal herbs.

The medicine can be washed before grinding the medicine, and can be washed with water or ultrasonic cleaning.

2) The process of immersing the medicine in water.

The ratio of water and medicine is 1: 1 by weight, soak the medicine in water for about 1 hour.

3) The process of immersing the mixture of medicinal herbs and water obtained by dipping for about 2-4 hours at about 60-80 ℃ after the medicinal herbs boil.

May be a month from the beginning at the same time, but depending on the type of medicinal herbs that must be a long month first month and then may be a month by adding short-term medicinal herbs.

Ordinary Chinese medicine or herbal tea manufacturing is to put the medicine in a medicinal paper, such as burlap and pour water for about 2 hours. The extract thus obtained is in a liquid state containing no medicinal herbs. The obtained liquid can be made into an extract in liquid form, but this has a problem that can not be stored for a long time. In addition, in order to prepare a solid extract, it is necessary to add an excipient such as starch, glucose or lactose to the liquid.

On the other hand, the step of preparing the paste by weighing the medicinal herbs according to the present invention is to boil the mixture of medicinal herbs and water in low heat to use the remaining medicinal residues or lumps as excipients. This makes it possible to eliminate the process of using excipients in the preparation of extracts in solid form.

For example, mineral medicines or animal medicines that are difficult to extract the active ingredient is slowly heated to about 60-80 ℃ after the medicine boils. Mineral or animal medicines may be moon for about 4-8 hours. Examples of mineral medicines may include, but are not limited to, gypsum, talc, pearls, large magnets, and the like. Examples of animal medicines may include, but are not limited to, keel, carp, bullock, nutshell, and the like. Normal vegetable medicines are slowly heated to a temperature, and then boiled slowly at about 60-80 ℃ after the medicines have boiled. Common herbal medicines can be moon for about 2-4 hours. Examples of common herbal medicines may include, but are not limited to, ginseng, baekryeok, bokyeong, donggwi, cheongung, mackmundong and the like. Aromatic medicinal herbs are sweet until the medicinal herbs boil and cool as soon as the medicinal herbs boil. Aromatic medicines can be moonless within about 10 minutes. Examples of aromatic medicines may include, but are not limited to, gold and silver coins, ducts, mints, molds, and the like.

The step of preparing the paste by decoction of the medicinal herbs may be performed one or more times depending on the decoction temperature of the medicinal herbs, the time of decoction of the medicinal herbs, the type of medicinal herbs or the degree of extraction of the active ingredients of the medicinal herbs.

The medicine may be a month of the combination of the medicine according to the prescription at the same time in the same container or divided into separate containers for each month alone.

Preparing the paste by weighing the medicinal herbs may increase the efficiency of extracting the active ingredient from the medicinal herbs using the following coffee machine. If the dry herbal medicine is extracted into a coffee machine and extracted, the active ingredient in the herbal medicine cannot be completely extracted.

(Drying paste)

Drying the paste may include drying the paste by a method of drying a conventional medicine. The drying method may be a slow drying in the shade, a quick drying in the sun or a drier. Preferably, it can be dried slowly in the shade in order to preserve the active ingredient of the medicinal herbs as it is. More preferably at room temperature or about 10-15 [deg.] C., or as dry for about 3-4 days.

The result obtained from the drying of the paste may be used by dividing it into one portion when the decoction medicine is a combination of medicines. Alternatively, if the decoction medicine is an individual single medicine, only one type of medicine can be stored alone or stored in combination according to a prescription. For example, raw malt (Mangmun-dong, Ginseng, Schisandra chinensis) can be mixed with the resultant dried and dried Astragalus or licorice.

The result obtained from the above step can be simply stored when not in use or the active ingredient of the medicinal herb can be extracted from the following step when used. The result obtained from the step is not a liquid form, such as an extract agent, so it can be stored for a longer period of time because it is dried and can be stored at room temperature if the humidity is controlled.

(Put the dried paste into the coffee machine and extract the active ingredient of the medicinal herb)

Extracting the active ingredient may include putting the dried paste into a coffee machine and extracting an active ingredient of a medicinal herb. In the present invention, "coffee machine" may mean, but is not limited to, an apparatus for making conventional coffee. The coffee machine includes a machine for putting coffee beans in a lump or powder state and then extracting coffee from the beans using steam generated by distilling water.

The extracting of the active ingredient may control the extraction time and temperature according to the type of medicinal herbs, the degree of drying the decoction medicinal herbs, the state of the dried medicinal herbs or the size of the lump of dried medicinal herbs. For example, the step of extracting the active ingredient may, but is not limited to, extracting the active ingredient at about 100 ° C. for about 1-2 minutes or at about 80-90 ° C. for about 5-10 minutes.

The liquid containing the active ingredient obtained from the above step can be used as a herbal medicine or herbal tea.

The step of extracting the dried paste into the coffee machine and extracting the active ingredient of the medicinal herbs can not only increase the extraction efficiency of the active ingredient of the medicinal herbs, but also facilitate the use of herbal or herbal tea. When the dried paste is prepared in hot water without using a coffee machine to prepare a herbal medicine or herbal tea, the dried herbal medicine may remain unmelted and may be inconvenient to eat. In addition, the necessary active ingredients of the medicinal herbs are left intact in herbal medicine or herbal tea, but the residue obtained after extracting the active ingredient of the medicinal herbs can be conveniently used for herbal medicine or herbal tea.

The method according to an embodiment of the present invention may further comprise the step of grinding the dehydrated paste. The grinding method may be performed by a conventional method, and may be performed by using a grinder or by manually grinding. The size of the pulverized product obtained by medicinal pulverization can be adjusted in various ranges. The step of pulverizing the dried paste may not only facilitate storage of the dried paste, but also increase extraction efficiency and shorten extraction time when the active ingredient is extracted using a coffee machine.

Provided is a method that does not require the use of excipients such as flour in the extraction of active ingredients of medicinal herbs which must be prepared with conventional extractives. Provided are methods which can be stored longer than conventional extracts and do not require the use of packaging containers such as packaging vinyl. It provides a way to shorten the time it takes to extract the medicine to be made with extracts. Rather than having to weigh the prescription medicines at once, it provides a way to mix and dry each medicine individually and mix according to the prescription. It provides a method that can be used to manufacture a herbal medicine or herbal tea on the fly where the user needs.
