Research Progress of Biomimetic Technologies in the Field of Traditional Chinese Medicine Quality Control
The odor of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)is closely related to its quality.The 2020 edition of the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China describes the odor and taste of most medicinal materials and decoctions under their respective characteristics.However,in the actual process of quality control of TCM,the identification of odor and taste is often subjective and highly variable between individuals,lacking objective and quantitative criteria for assessment.As a relatively new technology developed in recent years,biomimetic technologies such as electronic nose and electronic tongue can to some extent replace human senses.They can transform odor and taste information into quantitative indicators,thereby achieving a more modern and objective evaluation of the odor and taste of medicinal materials.This article reviews the application progress of such technologies in the field of TCM quality control,such as the identification of medicinal materials,processing of medicinal materials,quality control of toxic Chinese medicines,and the material basis of Chinese medicines.Our work may provide new insights for the research and quality control of TCM.
