Fresh cutting process for picrorhiza medicinal materials

Abstract

The invention discloses a fresh cutting process for picrorhiza medicinal materials. The process comprises the steps of after the picrorhiza medicinal materials are harvested, rushing to clean the picrorhiza medicinal materials with water while the surfaces of the picrorhiza medicinal materials are adhered with soil and are wet, finishing roots and branches, tedding for 12-48 hours, cutting into circular slices or elliptical slices while the picrorhiza medicinal materials are fresh, drying in the air until the circular slices or elliptical slices are dried, then, packaging with polyethylene plastic bags while vacuumizing, and adding desiccants and antioxidants. According to the process, the medicinal materials are cleaned while the medicinal materials are fresh, so that the loss of water-soluble effective ingredients is avoided, the pollution to the medicinal materials caused by microorganisms and worm eggs in the soil is reduced, procedures of decoction piece production are simplified, the preparation cost is reduced, the quality of the medicinal materials is guaranteed, and the clinical treatment effect is improved. With the popularization and implementation of the process, remarkable social significance and economic benefit can be obtained.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of processing of traditional Chinese medicinal materials, and in particular relates to the processing technology of the origin of the traditional Chinese medicine Huhuanglian medicinal material. Background technique [0002] Huhuanglian uses its root as a medicinal part. It is the rhizome of Huhuanglian, a plant of the family Scrophulariaceae. Indications for bone steam due to yin deficiency, hot flashes and night sweats, malnutrition in children, damp-heat diarrhea, carbuncle sores, hemorrhoids, jaundice, hematemesis, epistaxis, red eyes and swelling. [0003] At present, after Hulian medicinal materials are harvested from the field, they are usually sorted, dried, packaged, stored and transported. After these Hulian medicinal materials are transported to the traditional Chinese medicine decoction factory, they need to be unpacked, washed, moistened, sliced, and dried again. The existing process is time-consuming a...

Problems solved by technology

The existing process is time-consuming and laborious, and the process is repeated, which increases the production cost of decoction pieces

This process will not only lead to the loss of water-soluble active ingredients, but also if the moistening process is carried out in high temperature seasons, the medicinal materials will be prone to mildew, which will lead to a decline in the quality of medicinal materials and a reduction in clinical efficacy.
