title: [Making of compound Rhizoma Acori Tatarinowii naphtha emulsion].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To determine an ideal recipe and technique for making of compound Rhizoma Acori Tatarinowii naphtha emulsion (CRATNE) , diameter for the granule in 10 to approximately 20 microm.
  
  
  METHODS
  CRATNE was made by two-step emulsification and the recipe was evaluated to investigate the effect of diameter for the granule on stir time and stir speed and oxygen ventilated.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The percentages of diameter for the granule in 10 to approximately 20 microm was 72%. Emulsion was made on recipe No. 4 [ Rhizoma Acori Tatarimowii naphtha (ml): liquid paraffin (ml): Sorbian monooleate (g): 0.5% gelatin solution (ml): distilled water (ml) is 1.05: 16: 7: 1: 16] and compound emulsion is made on recipe No. 4 [fore emulsion (g): Tween-80 (g): distilled water (ml) is 10: 1: 9]. Recipe No. 4 was the best one if stiring at low speed through magnetic force mixer was used. Stir time was 1 min. The oxygen was ventilated with a flow rate of 2 L/min for CRATNE. Ventilation time was 1 h. The percentages of diameter for the granule in 10 to approximately 12 microm increased from 72% to 79%. was type W/O/W.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The diameter of CRATNE for the granule is in 10 to approximately 20 microm, can be made following above-mentioned methods.
