The invention relates to the technical field of
paclitaxel production and discloses a
raw material screening method for
paclitaxel production. The
raw material screening method includes the followingsteps that S1, raw materials are prepared, wherein a whole
taxus cuspidata tree is prepared, then peeling treatment is conducted, and
taxus cuspidata
bark, branches and leaves are distinguished; S2,
branch segmentation is conducted, wherein the peeled
bark and branches are segmented; S3,
raw material screening is conducted, wherein the
bark and branches which are not qualified due to worm damage or
corrosion are removed through a tool; and S4, raw material cleaning is conducted. By means of the raw material
screening method for
paclitaxel production, impurities such as
weed, bird dung and hives on raw materials can be separated out during raw material treatment, normal extracting work is prevented from being affected by the impurities, in addition, when large-
diameter branches are completely subjected to peeling treatment, influences of
xylem on the extracting work is prevented, the raw materials can be sufficiently smashed through two times of smashing, then a screen is used for screening, and it is ensured that the smashed raw materials meet the paclitaxel extracting requirement.
