Research Progress in Quality Control of Hippophae rhamnoides
China has a long history of Hippophae rhamnoides.At present,there are 7 species and 11 subspecies of H.rhamnoides in the wor-ld,which distributed widely in Eurasia in temperate regions.H.rhamnoides has been used in the history of Uyghur,Mongolian and Tibetan minorities.With the research and development ofH.rhamnoides,the existing H.rhamnoides juice,H.rhamnoides seeds,H.rhamnoides fruit oil,H.rhamnoides leaves,etc.are applied in the market.However,the application base of H.rhamnoides is complex,and the markets in various distribution regions are more locally sourced,resulting in confusion of varieties and difficulty in controlling the quality.The current standards mainly include drug standards(Chinese Pharmacopoeia Standards,Local Chinese Herbal Medicine Standards and Provincial Pro-cessing Standards),food standards(National Standards,Local Standards and Group Standards),agricultural industry standards,water con-servancy industry standards,etc.However,the overall specificity of the control items in the current standards is not strong,and some stan-dards lack some necessary control items,which brings difficulties to the inspection work.Whether the material basis,safety,clinical efficacy,etc.of different species of H.rhamnoides are equivalent still needs to be further studied.
