Curculigo Processing Technology And Quality Standards

Rhizoma Curculiginis is the dry rhizoma of plant amaryllidaceae Curculigo orchioides Gaertn.. The efficacy of Rhizoma Curculiginis are dissipate carbuncle swelling,invigorate yang of kidney,strong physique,dissipate cold-dampness,benefit essence and blood and so on. Stir-frying with yellow wine is the major processing method now.In order to ues it more safely and effectively,there is a great need to do comprehensive research about Rhizoma Curculiginis applying the modern techniques under the guidance of the theory of Traditonal Chinese Medicine. In order to provide the scientific evidence for the industry production and applying the grant number of Chinese Medicine.1. Research in processing technology for Rhizoma CurculiginisThrough the comparison of different drying methods,the result that stir-frying with yellow wine was processing method.Following single factor experiment and L9(34) orthogonal design, the best processing technology was set as follow: the Rhizoma Curculiginis adding amount of 10% yellow wine mixed thoroughly,heating at 100℃roasting for 10 minutes. The result of magnifying experiment was similar to that of lab experiment. The technology was considered stable and available.Through the comparison of different processing methods,it further proved stir-frying with yellow wine was the best processing method.2. Study on the effect of Processing in front and back in Rhizoma CurculiginisThe acute toxicity trials on raw and the processed were not abnormal changes and they were safe on clinical use.Pass to weigh to the sexual organs, immune organs of the juvenile rats and the emasculate juvenile mouse, the function of invigorating the kidney and strengthening yang of the proessed was strengthened,the sample of stir-frying with yellow wine was the strongest one.3. Research in quality standard for Rhizoma CurculiginisMoisture, heave metal limit examine, arsenic salt examine and animalcule limit examine of ten batch magnifying processing samples are examined,then constitute the quality standard of Rhizoma Curculiginis and Rhizoma Curculiginis with yellow wine.4. Inorganic elements of Rhizoma Curculiginis and Rhizoma Curculiginis with yellow wine were determined with ICP-MSThrough determination on Rhizoma Curculiginis and processing Rhizoma Curculiginis of inorganic elements with ICP-MS, the content of inorganic elements has not changed.
