The Changes of Effective Substance Content and Drying Process Optimization of the Hot Sun Method for Xuan papaya Medicinal Materials
Objective:The dynamic changes of main chemical components in Xuan papaya medicinal materials during drying process is explained based on the content of hawthorn acid,oleanolic acid,and ursolic acid,in order to opti-mize the best post-processing technology and pivotal technical parameter.Methods:Using reverse phase high-per-formance liquid chromatography to determine the preparation of different samples using different drying methods.Results:By determining the main chemical components content of Xuan papaya samples treated with 9 dif-ferent drying methods,including hot sun drying,fresh sun drying,and direct drying,it was found that the best method for drying into medicinal materials is hot sun drying.Through hot sun treatment,the content of hawthorn acid,oleanolic acid,and ursolic acid in Xuan papaya was 0.0076,0.5259,and 0.2571,respectively.The best way to dry Xuan papaya into decoction pieces is to bake it for 48 hours after sun drying,then moisten it with water for 48 hours,and then bake it at 60 ℃ for 48 hours.Through this treatment,its main chemical components are highest,with hawthorn acid,oleanolic acid,and ursolic acid being 0.0071,0.4425,and 0.291,respectively.Conclusion:This study provides a theoretical basis for the scientific connotation and drying method of xuan papaya.
