Research Status,Problems and Countermeasures of Drying Pretreatment Technology of Traditional Chinese Medicinal Materials for Quality Assurance and Efficiency Enhancement
Fresh Chinese medicinal materials are prone to decay and deterioration due to their high moisture content.Reducing the moisture content through drying process is a common method to extend the shelf life of the herbal materials.However,the drying process of Chinese herbal medicines often takes a long time and causes damage to product quality.Selecting a proper pretreatment technology before drying can not only shorten drying time,but also play a positive role in ensuring the quality of Chinese medicinal materials.This review introduces the mechanism of different drying pretreatment technologies and their impacts on the drying efficiency and quality of Chinese herbal medicines,analyzes the existing problems in the application,and proposes the choices of pretreatment methods for some Chinese herbal medicines with different active ingredients.It is hoped to provide some references for the application of drying pre-treatment techniques to Chinese medicinal materials.
