New processing technology of traditional Chinese medicine cicada slough

Abstract

The invention discloses a novel process for processing traditional Chinese medicine cicada slough. The process comprises the following steps: (1) uniformly paving the collected cicada slough on a screen or a separator, performing spraying treatment on the cicada slough by adopting an atomization spraying mode, so that the surface of the cicada slough is in a wet state, and keeping for 3-5 minutes; (2) performing draining treatment after spraying is finished, so that obvious water drops do not exist on the surface of the cicada slough, and water does not drop from the cicada slough; and feeding the cicada slough into a low-temperature environment for hardening, controlling the temperature to be in a range from 0 DEG C to 5 DEG C, and performing hardening treatment for 20 minutes; (3) putting the hardened cicada slough into a sealed container, wherein a rotating disc is arranged in the sealed container, and the cicada slough is uniformly paved on the rotating disc; performing water spraying treatment on the cicada slough when the rotating disc rotates by utilizing a spraying method, adopting an up-and-down simultaneous spraying mode until silt impurities do not exist on the surface of the cicada slough; and (4) opening the container after the rotary spraying is finished, standing at normal temperature for 10 minutes, draining the moisture on the surface, and performing drying treatment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of biomedicine, in particular to a new process for processing traditional Chinese medicine cicada slough. Background technique [0002] Cicada slough, also known as Chanyi, Zhiliaopi, etc., is a commonly used Chinese herbal medicine in traditional Chinese medicine, and it is also used in the production and operation of Chinese patent medicines. Cicada slough is the molting shell after the emergence of the black grasshopper of Cicadae insects. It is mainly produced in Henan, Anhui, Shandong and other places, especially in Shandong, which has the largest output. Cicada slough has anticonvulsant and sedative pharmacological effects. It has the effects of dispersing wind sensation, dispersing lung, and calming spasm. Clinically, it is mostly used to treat wind-heat exogenous pathogenesis, cough hoarseness, infantile measles, eye diseases and tetanus, and is widely used. [0003] Because cicada slough is born ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Because cicada sloughs are born underground, they climb on the branches of trees to emerge after they are born naturally. The body, abdomen, and legs are covered with soil and sand, and because they are easily broken after collection, it is inconvenient to process.

The traditional method is to wash in the pool, but it is difficult to completely remove the impurities on the abdomen and legs, and the processing is labor-intensive and easy to break, affecting the quality and shape
