The present disclosure relates to salvianolic acid-gelatin conjugate load retentive hydrogel nanoparticles useful for oral delivery of salvianolic acid, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same, and methods of use and preparation thereof.

Salvianolic acid-gelatin conjugate hydrogel particles

Provided herein is a method for extracting polysaccharides, for example, &#x3b2;-glucan and sodium alginate, from a sample including a botanical product. The extraction can be carried out using a microwave assisted dual-solvent extraction followed by one or more membrane filtration steps.

Method for extracting polysaccharides

The present invention provides a nano-crystallized herbal ingredient-containing package for use in a food processor or being used directly to prepare a herbal decoction. The package includes a housing; single or multiple herbal ingredient nano-crystals; one or more non-additive and anti-caking spacers for preventing caking that blocks solvent flowing through the package towards the single or multiple herbal ingredient nano-crystals during processing by the food processor; and optionally one or more stabilizing agents for stabilizing the single or multiple herbal ingredient nano-crystals during nano-crystallization of the herbal ingredients and during preparation of the herbal decoction. A method of preparing a herbal decoction from the package is also provided.
