The concoction of gentian
Most of the gentian is used raw, and according to the 2010 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, the processing method of gentian is "washing, moistening, cutting and drying". In addition, there are also "liquor-made" processing methods, and studies on the relationship between liquor preparation methods and gentianpicrin content are not uncommon. A study has used water and methanol extraction method to extract gentian raw products and wine products, and analyzed the extract by high performance liquid chromatography, and found that the components in wine gentian have changed greatly, the dissolution has increased, and the components have undergone quantitative and qualitative changes [Journal of Shaanxi University of Education, 2010, 20(1): 107]. There are also studies on the liquor making process using gentiopicrin as an index. The orthogonal design method was used to investigate the length of gentian sections, the selection of wine, the amount of wine added and the simmering time, and the results showed that the contents of water extract and gentianpicrin were the highest in the concocted products with a length of 5~10mm, 1/5 of the quality of medicinal materials, and 2 hours of simmering. Compared with the raw products, the water extract content and gentiopicrin content of the wine products were higher than those of the raw products, which may have changed the physical properties of the drugs and improved the dissolution rate of the active ingredients during the wine making process [Chinese Journal of Traditional Chinese Materia Medica, 2008, 33(20): 2336]. Although the research on the above processing methods provides a basis for the processing process, the ultimate purpose of processing is to improve the clinical efficacy.
