Processing technology of fresh-cut white paeony root decoction pieces

Abstract

The invention discloses a processing technology of fresh-cut white paeony root decoction pieces. The processing technology comprises the steps of harvesting a medicinal material-white paeony root, then washing the white paeony root with boiling water when the soil adhered to the surface of the white paeony root is wet, spreading and drying in the air for 2-4h, cutting the white paeony root into circular pieces or oval pieces while the white paeony root is fresh, drying the cut pieces, then packaging the dried pieces with polyethylene plastic bags in a way of vacuumizing, and adding a drying agent and an antioxidant. According to the technology, the medicinal material is washed and processed while being fresh, so that the loss of water-soluble active components is avoided, and the pollution of microbes and worm eggs in the soil to the medicinal material is reduced; after the processing technology is adopted, the production process of the decoction pieces is simplified, the production cost is lowered, the quality of the medicinal material is guaranteed, and the clinical curative effect is improved. The promotion and implementation of the technology have notable social significance and economic benefit.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of processing of traditional Chinese medicinal materials, and in particular relates to the processing technology of the origin of the traditional Chinese medicinal herb Paeoniae Alba.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The existing process is time-consuming and laborious, and the process is repeated, which increases the production cost of decoction pieces

This process will not only lead to the loss of water-soluble active ingredients, but also if the moistening process is carried out in high temperature seasons, the medicinal materials will be prone to mildew, which will lead to a decline in the quality of medicinal materials and a reduction in clinical efficacy.
