Optimization of ball milling parameters to produce Centella asiatica herbal nanopowders

Muhamma Zuhairi Borhan, Rohaya Ahmad, Mohamad Rusop, Saifollah Abdullah

Abstract

Nanopowders of Centella asiatica was produced using planetary ball mill by varying milling parameters such as milling time, mass concentration, and bead amount. Particle size analysis employing photon correlation spectroscopy was carried out to record the effect of milling parameters on the particle size produced. The morphology of milled powders was also analyzed using a field emission scanning electron microscope. The bioactive component, asiatic acid, was extracted from various sizes of C. asiatica powders, and its extraction yield at different powder size was calculated by high-performance liquid chromatography. Optimization of milling parameters was found to be a crucial step in determining the content of asiatic acid extracted. In this study, the highest amount of asiatic acid extracted was 25.4 mg/g, obtained at moderate conditions of the following milling parameters: 4 h of milling time, 1.2% ( w / v ) concentration of powder, and 25 g of bead load.
