This invention belongs to the field of
traditional Chinese medicine processing technology. It addresses the issues of heat uniformity during the
drying process and the loss of components and quality stability caused by differences in different medicinal materials. The invention discloses a process for
slicing kudzu root while it is still fresh, comprising the following steps:
slicing the
kudzu root; adding treated porous
ceramic after
slicing; mixing evenly;
drying; and finally sieving out the porous
ceramic after
drying. This invention introduces treated porous
ceramic into the drying process of
kudzu root, which promotes heat uniformity and improves drying efficiency. It also allows the
antioxidant effect of guaiac gum to be utilized, and the porous ceramic treated with guaiac gum is easier to separate from the kudzu root. Furthermore, this invention develops a reasonable fresh-
cutting process tailored to the differences in different medicinal materials, reducing the loss of active ingredients and changes in appearance while ensuring the quality stability of the processed slices.
