Abstract:
In recent years, enzyme technology is widely applied in the flavonoid ingredients of Chinese materia medica (CMM). Based on a large number of domestic and foreign literatures, the application of enzyme technology in the flavonoid ingredients is mainly embodied in three aspects: significantly improving the extraction rate of flavonoid ingredients by using alone or combined with other technology including enzyme-ultrasonic coupling technology and enzyme-microwave coupling technology, obtaining the effective ingredients with a better activity and higher bioavailability by changing the structure of some flavonoid ingredients, and increasing the active flavonoids content in the plants. Moreover, the immobilized enzyme technology is applied more and more. Enzyme technology, a new method in the study on flavonoid ingredients in CMM, can help to obtain more active flavonoids from the complex samples of CMM. Therefore, the enzyme technology has a good application prospect but also with some key problems to be further studied in future.
