Influence of Soaking Degree on Shape-property Quality and Ester-type Aconitum Alkaloids of Processed Aconiti Radix
Objective:To investigate scientificalness of "soaked to a certain criterion" for Aconiti Radix which was documented in 2010 edition of "Chinese Pharmacopoeia". Method:One part of Aconiti Radix were soaked to different degrees of below the standard
equal to the standared and above the standard
respectively;another part of Aconiti Radix were cooked after being soaked to different degree;all these sample were checked shape-property quality and determined contents of mesaconitine
aconitine
hypaconitine
benzoylmesaconitine
benzoylaconitine
benzoylhypaconitine. Result:These processed products which soaked moderately were cut easily and decoction pieces were smooth and not easy to broken.After being soaked
the content of total alkaloids was reduced
with level of immersion to deepen
reduction rates of contents of three kinds of diester alkaloids were 28.7%
36.8% and 44.9%
respectively;while reduction rates of three kinds of monoester alkaloids were 21.8%
25.5% and 40%
respectively.After cooking
contents of three kinds of diester alkaloids decreased remarkably
reduction rate was more than 98% by comparing with raw products;but contents of three kinds of monoester alkaloids increased remarkably
which was about 2 times as many as that in raw products. Conclusion:When Aconiti Radix was soaked moderately
change of ester-type aconitum alkaloids in cooked products was moderate with shorter cooking time and good quality of decoction pieces
it was meaningful that Aconiti Radix should be 'soaked to a certain criterion'.
