Abstract:
The Chinese Medicine resources are abundant in China. At present, most
of the Chinese medicinal materials have been artificially planted (cultured) and
processed, so the processing of the origin has become an important link and process
of the initial processing of Chinese herbal medicines. Among them, the drying
process is an indispensable key step in the processing of many herbal medicines. On
the one hand, drying is conducive to the preservation and processing of Chinese
medicinal materials. On the other hand, the drying process can transform some of the
ingredients in the medicinal materials to achieve better pharmacological activity and
safety. This paper summarizes the existing drying technology of traditional Chinese
medicinal materials and discusses the influence of the drying process of traditional
Chinese medicine on the quality of traditional Chinese medicine. It aims to provide a
scientific basis for the processing of traditional Chinese medicinal materials.
我国中药资源丰富,迄今国产常用中药材及原料已实现人工种植(养殖)
及加工,因此产地加工成为中药材及原料初步加工的重要环节与过程,其中,干燥过程又是众多药材产地加工过程中不可或缺的关键步骤。干燥一方面利于中药材及原料的保存与加工,另一方面,干燥过程可以使部分药材体内的成分发生转化,进而达到更好的药理活性和安全性。本文总结了现有的中药原药材干燥技术,讨论了中药干燥过程对中药品质的影响,旨在为中药材及原料产地加工提供科学依据。
