Abstract:
The Chinese materia medica extract (CMME) is an important intermediate for the CMM preparation, and the drying process is a key link in the pharmaceutical process of CMM and has a direct impact on the quality of the drug. The development of new drying technology is the key point of the industry technology transformation and upgrading about traditional Chinese medicine manufacturing, and plays an important role in the process of modernization of CMM. In this paper through the literature research statistical analysis, the current research situation of the CMME common drying methods were reviewed, the characteristics and adapt scope of commonly used extract drying technology were analyzed and summarized, some of the problems which exist in the promotion of the CMME drying technology were discussed and the corresponding countermeasures were put forward. Then, the suitable drying technology for different CMMEs were summarized. Finally, the paper illustrates the drying CMME development trend in China. This paper provides a useful reference for the research and development applied to medicine extract efficient drying techniques, and provides new ideas for the optimization and upgrading of related equipment.
