Application and Research Progress of Extraction Auxiliary Agents in Extraction of Traditional Chinese Medicine
As an important unit in the manufacturing process of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)
extraction directly affects the subsequent process and the quality of medicines.The development and improvement of extraction techniques play an important role in developing high-quality TCM products and promoting the benign development of TCM industry.In the extraction process of TCM
the medicinal ingredients of herbs can be easily dissolved and efficiently extracted by adding extraction auxiliary agents
such as acids
alkalis
surfactants and enzymes
which can change the pH of solvent
or change the surface tension between the medicinal herbs and solvents
or destroy the structure of the plant cell wall.Extraction auxiliary agents has been widely applied in the extraction of flavonoids
alkaloids
polysaccharides
organic acids
saponins
anthraquinones
triterpene acids
proteins and other compounds in Chinese herbal medicines
it can significantly improve the extraction efficiency
but also has some defects.By consulting the literatures
this paper expounds the application
characteristics
advantages
disadvantages and scope of application of extraction auxiliary agents
analyzes the existing problems and puts forward some countermeasures to provide new ideas for the application of extraction auxiliary agents in the extraction process of TCM.
