Optimization of the Co-steaming Process of Semen Ziziphi Spinosae with Ziziphus Jujuba Leaf by Multi-index Combined with AHP-CRITIC Method
Objective:To optimize the co-steaming process of Semen ziziphi spinosae with Ziziphus jujuba leaf based on orthogonal design and AHP-CRITIC method.Method:The single-factor experiment was applied to screen dosage range for Z.jujuba leaf and steaming time.Then,the co-steaming process was optimized by orthogonal design combined with AHP-CRITIC method with the contents of spinosin,6‴-ferulospinosin,jujuboside A,and betulinic acid as evaluation indexes and usage amount of Z.jujuba leaf and steaming time as influencing factors.Results:The optimal co-steaming process was to lay the Z.jujuba leaf and Semen ziziphi spinosae alternately,and the usage amount for Z.jujuba leaf was four times that of Semen ziziphi spinosae.The steaming time was 3 hours.Conclusion:The orthogonal design combined with AHP-CRITIC method was reasonable and feasible,and could provide a reference for the production practice of co-steaming process of Semen ziziphi spinosae with Z.jujuba leaf.
