The drug samples (120 batches) from four growing regions Shandong, Shanxi, Hebei, Henan Provinces) were collected, dried, used slice (30 purchased different stores. raw NIR spectra acquired preprocessed multiplicative scatter correction (MSC). Principal...

The root of Polygonum multiflorum Thunb. (Heshouwu in Chinese) is one the most popular herbs used traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). However, after steam processing (Zhi-heshouwu Chinese), known to have different properties and medicinal values compared with Heshouwu. Eleven volatile Maillard reaction products were identified extract Zhi-heshouwu, but not that new four furanones, two furans, nitrogen compounds, pyran, alcohol sulfur compound. antioxidant activities between extracts from...

Pedunculoside and syringin are two bioactive compounds in herbal tea Chinese drug Jiubiying, the dried barks of Ilex rotunda Thunb. In present study, enrichment purification pedunculoside were investigated on macroporous resins. The evaluation results performance adsorption characteristics eight resins indicated that SP825 was most suitable for separation syringin. Based series experiments separation, dynamic adsorption, desorption column resin, optimal conditions determined as follows:...

Abstract A high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) fingerprint method with multivariate statistical analyses was applied to discriminate the male and female barks of Populus tomentosa for first time. The samples 11 13 mature P. were collected in Beijing. chemical methanol extract established by HPLC diode array detector (DAD). principal component analysis (PCA), hierarchical clustering (HCA), supervised orthogonal partial least squares discriminant (OPLS‐DA) based on area common peaks...

Herpetospermum pedunculosum (Ser.) C. B. Clarke (Family Cucurbitaceae) is a dioecious plant and has been used as traditional Tibetan medicine for the treatment of hepatobiliary diseases. The component, content, difference in volatile compounds female male buds H. were explored by using headspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS) technology multivariate statistical analysis. results showed that isoamyl alcohol was main compound both its content...

To comprehensively evaluate the quality of medicinal and edible Ziziphi Spinosae Semen (ZSS, dried ripe seeds Ziziphus jujuba var. spinosa) before after rancidity during storage, some indicators including traditional sensory properties, physicochemical characteristics, volatile compounds were analyzed. As a result, compared with normal samples, rancid samples ZSS produced darker color, bitter taste, an irritating odor, increased moisture content, electrical conductivity, fatty oil acid...

Hawthorn, the sliced and dried ripe fruits of Crataegus pinnatifida Bge. Var. Major N. E. Br. (Rosaceae), is an edible medicinal substance with a variety health-promoting benefits. Hawthorn needs to be stored in warehouses after harvesting meet people's perennial demand. However, it easily infested by insects Plodia interpunctella Tribolium castaneum during storage, which inevitably leads poor quality causes adverse effects on health. So far, there has been no report insect-infested...

Introduction The buds of Lonicera japonica Thunb. var. chinensis (Wats.) Bak, commonly named red honeysuckle, have attracted attention because their bright colors.
