Abstract:
Objective: To optimize the fermentation process and bacteria strain for Paeoniae Radix Alba (PRA). Methods: Both the crude drugs of PRA and PRA processed by sulfur fumigation were fermented with lactobacillus and microzyme. Using viable counts and paeoniflorin content as indexes, the fermentation process and bacteria strain for PRA were optimized. Results: The microzyme had the best fermentation effect. The optimal fermentation process of PRA and sulfur fumigating PRA was for 36 h adding yeast and culture medium. Conclusion: PRA can be fermented and the optimal fermentation process was for 36 h by adding microzyme and culture medium.
