Correlation Analysis of Physical Properties and Yield Pressure of Traditional Chinese Medicine Powder
Objective: To investigate correlation between physical properties and yield pressure of traditional Chinese medicine powder and to find out main factors affecting compressibility. Method: Compressibility was characterized by yield pressure of Heckel equation.Correlation between physical properties including angle of repose
collapse of angle
flat angle
water content
bulk density
tap density
moisture absorption
average particle size and yield pressure were investigated by multiple regression analysis. Result: Yield pressure of model drugs was in range of 52.76-261.64 MPa
yield pressures of Galla Chinensis extract
Ophiopogonis Radix extract and Lysimachiae Herba extract were greater than other substances.Regression equation showed angle of repose
tap density
moisture absorption and average particle size were positively correlated with yield pressure in measured range
but collapse of angle
flat angle
water content and bulk density were negatively correlated with yield pressure in measured range. Conclusion: Physical properties of traditional Chinese medicine powder had great effect on compressibility
wherein impact of angle of repose
moisture absorption
tap density and average particle size was comparatively great.
