The invention discloses a
drying method for fresh traditional Chinese medicinal materials, which comprises the following steps: firstly, primarily
drying the cleaned fresh traditional Chinese medicinal materials by using steam, then controlling the initial air expansion pressure ratio by using
compressed air, quickly cooling to-20 to-60 DEG C within 10-30 minutes, and finally changing the air expansion pressure ratio to dry. And the refrigerated
mixed gas is blown to the surfaces of the traditional Chinese medicinal materials in the form of cold dry air which is 10-30 DEG C lower than the eutectic point of the traditional Chinese medicinal materials, so that the
moisture content of the traditional Chinese medicinal materials is reduced to 12% or below. The
drying method has the advantages of being high in freezing speed, low in
cooling temperature and high in drying speed,
enzyme and sensitive chemical components can be comprehensively reserved, the content of the
enzyme and the sensitive chemical components is high, the use requirements of the fresh traditional Chinese medicinal materials are met, a theoretical basis is provided for drying treatment of the fresh traditional Chinese medicinal materials, and the cost is reduced.
Technical support and reference methods are provided for
quality control of traditional Chinese medicinal materials, and the method is suitable for popularization and application.
