Study on the co-processing technology of Rehmannia glutinosa and Polygonatum sibiricum
In this study the co-processing of Polygonatum sibiricum and Rehmannia glutinosa was realized.Dur-ing the steaming process,Polygonatum sibiricum soaked with Huangjiu was placed in the lower layer of the steamer,and Rehmannia glutinosa soaked with Huangjiu was placed in the upper layer of the steamer.When the ratio of Reh-mannia glutinosa to Polygonatum sibiricum was 1:1,and steamed for two times(5 h each time),both kinds of me-dicinal materials reached the processing requirements.The processed Polygonatum sibiricum was black on the sur-face,and had uniform texture;the processed Rehmannia glutinosa was"black as lacquer,and sweet as maltose".This method has improved the processing efficiency and reduced the waste of medicinal materials.The processing process has the advantages of simple operation,time-saving,labor-saving and energy-saving.
