UNASSIGNED
Boswellia carteri Bridw. is being widely used for its anti-inflammatory properties, as well as for wound healing, antimicrobial, and immunomodulatory properties, and boswellic acids (BAs) are considered to be the main active constituents.
UNASSIGNED
To investigate optimal conditions of stir-baking process for the resin of B. carteri with vinegar of using response surface methodology (RSM).
UNASSIGNED
The concentration of acetic acid, heating temperature, and heating time were set as influential factors, and the yields of chemical compounds were the response values which were optimally designed by a Box-Behnken design. The amounts of 11-keto-β-boswellic acid (KBA) and α-boswellic acid (αBA) in B. carteri resin were quantified using high-performance liquid chromatography analysis.
UNASSIGNED
Maximum amounts of KBA and αBA in B. carteri resin were obtained using 6% acetic acid for 10 min at 90°C in preliminary test. Two factor interactions, such as acetic acid concentration-heating temperature and heating temperature-heating time, were significantly observed by multiple regression analysis. Optimal processing conditions from RSM were 5.83% for acetic acid concentration, 9.56 min for heating time, and 89.87°C for heating temperature. Under the modified conditions, the experimental value of the response was 11.25 mg/g, which was similar to the predicted value.
UNASSIGNED
The results suggest that the optimal conditions for the stir-baking process of B. carteri resin were determined by RSM, which was reliable and applicable to practical processing of herbal medicine.
CONCLUSIONS
The resin of Boswellia carteri was macerated in aqueous acetic acid and heated using an oven for stir baking processThe interaction between heating temperature and heating time was the most significantOptimal conditions for processing B. carteri resin were determined as 5.83% acetic acid, 9.56 min for heating time, and 89.87°C for heating temperature.
