AI Technical Summary
Existing methods for processing Pinellia ternata are time-consuming, result in significant loss of active ingredients, and long-term exposure may cause harm to the human body. Traditional microwave technology is mainly used for extraction rather than processing.
Fresh or raw Pinellia ternata is processed in industrial equipment using microwave drying technology. The temperature is set to 40℃~80℃, the power to 2kw~60kw, and the time to 20~35 minutes until the moisture content is below 12%. Before processing, it is soaked in clean water to avoid prolonged soaking.
It significantly shortens the processing cycle, improves efficiency, reduces irritation, retains effective ingredients, reduces energy consumption, and avoids the generation of wastewater and waste gas.
