OBJECTIVE To establish the method for monitoring the dynamic changes of odor components in Cornus officinalis during processing . METHODS The decoction pieces of C. officinalis with different processing time were prepared by the wine steaming method . The dynamic changes of odor components were obtained by using ultra -fast gas electronic nose ；odor components were identified by comparing with AroChemBase database ；the dynamic changes of odor compounds were analyzed in combination with peak area ，and the chemical pattern recognition analysis were carried out . RESULTS A total of 12 common peaks of odor components were identified in the fingerprints of raw C. officinalis，and 21 in the fingerprints of decoction pieces of C. officinalis. Eight odor components with the high proportion of peak area during processing were ethanol ， isopropyl alcohol ， 2- methylpropylaldehyde，ethyl acetate ，2-methylbutanal，isoamyl alcohol ，2-hexanol and furfural ，among which ，the peak areas of ethanol，isoamyl alcohol and 2-hexanol showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing ；at 24 h of processing ，their peak areas were still higher than those of raw products . The peak areas of ethyl acetate ，2-methylbutanal and furfural nearly increased with the increase of processing time . Variable importance in projection of above eight odor components were all greater than 1. CONCLUSIONS The method is established for monitoring the dynamic changes of odor components of C. officinalis during processing. Eight odor components such as ethanol can be used as monitoring indicators of C. officinalis dring processing .

OBJECTIVE To optimize the preparation process of Soft-shelled turtle blood lyophilized powder （STBLP）， and to provide a reference for improving the availability and quality stability of soft-shelled turtle blood （STB）. METHODS STBLP was prepared with vacuum freeze-drying. Taking the solubility as the index， the preparation process parameters of STBLP were optimized by single factor experiment and Box-Behnken response surface method. RESULTS The optimal freeze-drying process for STBLP was obtained： pre-freezing time of 4 h， total drying time of 13 h （before at 0 ℃）， and resolution drying temperature of 25 ℃. The average solubility of 3 batches of STBLP prepared according to the optimal process was 95.72% （RSD＝0.68%， n＝3）， the relative error of which was －0.97% to the theoretical solubility （96.66%）. CONCLUSIONS Optimized lyophilization process in this study are stable and feasible， the solubility of the prepared sample is high.

OBJECTIVE：To analyze and compare th e contents of 6 kinds of monosaccharide in Astragalus membranaceus from different growth years . METHODS ：2-4 years old A. membranaceus from three areas were extracted with water extraction and alcohol precipitation ，Sevage deproteinization to obtain A. membranaceus polysaccharide. The samples were firstly hydrolyzed with trifluoroacetic acid （TFA）and then derivatized by 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone（PMP）. HPLC analysis was adopted to determine the contents of 6 kinds of monosaccharide as mannose ，rhamnose，galacturonic acid ，glucose，galactose，arabinose. The determination was performed on Symmetry C 18 column with phosphate buffer solution （pH 6.8）-acetonitrile（84∶16，V/V）as mobile phase at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The detection wavelength was 245 nm，and column temperature was 35 ℃. The sample size was 20 µL. RESULTS ：The contents of mannose ，rhamnose，galacturonic acid ，glucose，galactose and arabinose were 0.50-0.94， 0.76-1.60，3.35-7.86，87.33-275.77，1.95-8.96，2.35-14.04 mg/g，respectively. Total contents of monosaccharide from 2，3，4 years old A. membranaceus were 98.26-139.92，173.81-295.71，122.37-182.41 mg/g，respectively. There was significant difference in the contents of glucose between 3 old years A. membranaceus and 2，4 old years A. membranaceus （162.71-275.77 mg/g vs. 87.33-107.70，111.54-167.26 mg/g，P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS ：Above 6 monosaccharides are detected in 2，3，4 years old A. membranaceus，among which the content of glucose is the highest. The content of glucose in 3 years old A. membranaceus is higher than that in 2 and 4 years old A. membranaceus .
