Abstract:
Objective To investigate the optimum techniques for processing Yuhuanlian with microwave. Methods Nine samples were obtained by orthogonal design. Thin-layer chromatography was used to determine berberine in Yuhuanglian. The content of berberine was taken as the index for the evaluation on the superiority of processing techniques. Results The optimal processing techniques for Yuhuanglian with microwave was suggested as follows:A2B2C3, moistened for 90 minutes, put 2 cm thick, with 80% of the microwave, heating 3 minutes. Conclusion The method is simple, easy to control, easy to use, easy to promote, and the quality of processed products is better.
