Abstract: The quercetin was prepared from Flos Sophorae Immaturus. To improve the solubility of quercetin in aqueous solution, the solid dispersions of quercetin-polyethyleneglycol were prepared by fusion method so as to increase quercetin as solid dispersion in water from 11.8μg/ml to 80.2μg/ml. Under the simulated gastric solution, the nitrosation inhibition was studied. The results showed that the solid dispersions of quercetin-polyethylene glycol have strong effects on disconnecting NDMA and scavenging sodium nitrite. The maximum disconnecting rate of NDMA is 91.3%, and the maximum scavenging rate of sodium nitrite is 86.1%.

Key words: quercetin, polyethyleneglycol, solid dispersions, nitrosamine
