Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine processing, and in particular to an improved method for preparing Liushenqu traditional Chinese medicine. Background Art

[0002] Qu-type Chinese medicine is an important part of Chinese medicine slices. It originated very early in my country and is widely used in clinical practice. It is made by mixing a variety of Chinese medicines through fermentation. There are many types of it, such as Liushenqu and red yeast rice, and the most widely used is Liushenqu. The origin of the name of Liushenqu was first recorded in "Yao Xing Lun" written by Zhen Quan, a doctor in the Tang Dynasty. It is derived from six raw materials, including Artemisia annua, Polygonum hydropiper, Xanthium sibiricum, red bean, bitter almond, and wheat. According to records, Liushenqu is called Liushenqu because the six raw materials, including Artemisia annua, Polygonum hydropiper, Xanthium sibiricum, red bean, bitter almond, and wheat, are named after the six gods of White Tiger, Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, Gou Chen, and Teng Snake, which means that the six gods gather together and are fermented to extract their essence and soften them. It has the function of strengthening the spleen and stomach and eliminating the stagnation of the spleen and stomach.

[0003] The 2015 edition of the "Zhejiang Province Traditional Chinese Medicine Processing Specifications" stipulates: Liu Shen Qu [Processing] Take 100kg of wheat flour and 100kg of bran, sieve and mix; take 90kg of red beans and 90kg of bitter almonds, grind them into powder and mix them; then take 100kg of fresh Artemisia annua, 100kg of fresh Polygonum hydropiper, and 100kg of fresh Xanthium sibiricum, mash them, add appropriate amount of water, and squeeze to extract juice. Mix with the above-mentioned wheat flour, bran, red beans, and almonds, stir well, cut into soft blocks with a length and width of about 1.5cm, spread on a plaque, put Aspergillus oryzae spores (diluted with 10 times the amount of flour) into a gauze bag, and pat them evenly on the soft blocks. Place in a greenhouse at 28℃ and a relative humidity of 70-80%, wait until it is covered with "yellow clothes", take it out, and dry it.

[0004] The traditional process of Liu Shen Qu uses natural fermentation, which results in large differences between products from different origins or different batches of the same origin, poor quality stability, and other problems, resulting in many market complaints. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem of poor quality uniformity and stability of Liu Shen Qu products, and to provide an improved method for preparing Liu Shen Qu traditional Chinese medicine. The obtained Liu Shen Qu has uniform quality and good quality stability, which is conducive to industrial production.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the technical problem is: An improved method for preparing Liushenqu Chinese medicine comprises the following steps: (1) Take 100 kg of wheat flour and 100 kg of bran, sieve and mix well; separately take 90 kg of red beans and 90 kg of bitter almonds, grind them into powder and mix well; (2) Take 100 kg of fresh Artemisia annua, 100 kg of fresh Polygonum hydropiper, and 100 kg of fresh Xanthium sibiricum, mash them, add 165 kg of water, and squeeze to extract juice; (3) mixing the drug juice of step (2) and the drug powder of step (1) evenly, placing the mixture in a mold to shape it, cutting it into square soft blocks, spreading it on a stainless steel plate, placing it in a pulse vacuum sterilizer for treatment, and taking it out to cool naturally; (4) Dilute the Aspergillus oryzae spores with 10 times the weight of flour, put them into a gauze bag, and evenly pat them on the soft block treated in step (3). After fermentation and cultivation in a greenhouse at 28±3° C. and a relative humidity of 70-80%, take them out.

[0007] The inventors have found that by improving the original method of preparing Liu Shen Qu as a traditional Chinese medicine and controlling specific sterilization methods and sterilization parameters, the quality of the obtained Liu Shen Qu can be greatly improved. The obtained Liu Shen Qu has uniform quality and good quality stability, which is conducive to industrial production.

[0008] Preferably, the pulsation times of the pulsation vacuum sterilization are set to 2 to 3 times.

[0009] Preferably, the temperature of the pulsating vacuum sterilization is set to 100-115° C., and the time is 5 to 15 minutes.

[0010] Preferably, the upper limit of pulsation of the pulsation vacuum sterilization is 20 to 40 KPa, and the lower limit of pulsation is -40 to -20 KPa.

[0011] Preferably, in step (4), the amount of Aspergillus oryzae spores used is 220-230 g.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the present invention are that the obtained Liushenqu has uniform quality and good quality stability, which is conducive to industrial production. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
