[Preparation of alpha-hydrocycholic-beta-cyclodextrin inclusion compound].

Objective: To study the preparation of alpha-Hydrocycholic-beta-Cyclodextrin inclusion compound.

Methods: It was studied with orthogonal design to analysis three factors of inclusion rate such as the weight ratio between HDCA and beta-Cyclodextrin, the temperature and the reaction time. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, taste and solubility test were used to identify the inclusion compound.

Results: Stable inclusion compound was made by HDCA and beta-Cyclodextrin. The weight ratio between HDCA and beta-Cyclodextrin was the most important factor. The alpha-Hydrocycholic-beta-Cyclodextrin inclusion compound taste and the solubility were improved.

Conclusion: The optimum preparation condition is alpha-Hydrocycholic : beta-Cyclodextrin = 8.67 : 1, the inclusion temperature is 60 degrees C and the inclusion time is 30 minutes.
