The invention discloses a method for verifying a young pilous
antler, which comprises the following steps: (1) taking known genuine young pilous
antler powder and sample
powder, respectively tabletting by using KBr, measuring
infrared spectrograms of the genuine young pilous
antler powder and the sample powder, carrying out comparative analysis on the peak positions, the peak strength, the peak forms and the wave numbers of two
infrared spectrograms; if the
infrared spectrograms are different completely, the sample powder is a counterfeit, and if the infrared spectrograms are similar or the same, the following step is carried out for analyzing, namely: (2) taking the known genuine young pilous antler powder and the sample powder, respectively carrying out
solvent extraction on the known genuine young pilous antler powder and the sample powder by using normal
hexane,
petroleum ether (60-90 DEG C),
methanol,
ethanol and a mixture (v / v) of the
ethanol and water, respectively measuring infrared spectrograms of extracts of the known genuine young pilous antler powder and the sample powder, and carrying out the comparative analysis pairwise on the peak positions, the peak strength, the wave forms and the wave numbers of the infrared spectrograms of a genuine article and a sample of the same
solvent extract; and if main data of three or more than three infrared spectrograms in five
solvent extracts are different in the comparative analysis, the sample is a counterfeit. By using the method, the ingredients of a raw medicinal material are not necessary to be separated one by one, and the truth of the young pilous antler can be directly judged fast, simply and conveniently without losing the natural instincts of the raw medicinal material.
