Study on the Primary Processing Technology of Cyathula officinalis Kuan
Objective In order to control the quality of initial processing of Cyathula officinalis Kuan,technical research was conducted on its initial processing technology.Methods This paper determines the initial processing technology of Cyathula offici-nalis through in investigating the temperature,processing method,medicinal material grade.medicinal parts,slice thice thickness,and studying the initial processing parametes.Results The initial processing process is washing.removing mud and reed head,sli-cing,thickness 4~6mm,drying,the first stage:temperature 50℃,water loss 60%,moistening.time 48 hours,the second stage:temperature 80℃,drying is completed when there is a clear noise in the collision and the color of Cyathula officinalis slices turns gray white.it is closed packaging in the woven bags with plastic bags.Conclusion This processing technology is really feasible,which is conducive to the large-scale and industrialized development of Cyathula officinalis.
