The invention belongs to the technical field of
traditional Chinese medicine decoction piece
processing, and particularly relates to a method for
processing brewing exocarpium pieces. The method comprise the following steps: cleaning, performing
ultraviolet radiation, performing quick-freezing and unfreezing, performing
microwave drying, performing moistening and shaping,
slicing,
drying, packaging and performing preservation. According to the method for
processing the
brewing exocarpium pieces, due to
ultraviolet radiation, effective components of the exocarpium pieces, such as flavonoids, can be increased; due to the
modes of quick-freezing and unfreezing, loss of effective components can be reduced,
cracking of
cell walls of fresh exocarpium can be promoted, the
dissolution degrees of the effective components in water can be increased, the
microwave drying speed is rapid, a good
thermal effect can be achieved, the activity of
enzyme can be reduced, and the exocarpium pieces can be kept bright in color. The
bitter taste of exocarpium can be removed, a product can be bright in color, uniform in size and good in reconstitution property, and problems that the exocarpium pieces are molded, deoiled, damaged by worms and the like when being preserved for a long time can be also solved. The product is green and
pollution-free in the processing course, and market requirements can be effectively met.
