Comparison of Moxa Yield Rate of Artemisiae Argyi Folium from Different Origins Based on Laboratory Production Techniques
Objective: To select the optimal moxa production techniques and compare the moxa yield rate of Artemisiae Argyi Folium from different origins. Method: Artemisiae Argyi Folium was pulverized with oscillating high speed universal pulverizer and the power residue was removed with the help of electric sieve shaker. The feed volume
pulverizing time
size of pharmacopeia sieve and sieving time were selected as independent variables
while moxa yield rate and residue weight were selected as dependent variables. Optimal moxa production techniques were obtained through single factor experiment so as to determine the moxa yield rate of Artemisiae Argyi Folium from different origins by adopting certain techniques. Result: The optimally-selected moxa production techniques were as follows:optimal feed volume 80 g
product rating 5:1-10:1
proper moxa pulverizing time 4-7 min
No. 1 pharmacopeia sieve with sieving time set at 110 s. The optimally-selected moxa production techniques were selected to compare the moxa yield rates of Artemisiae Argyi Folium from different origins. When the pulverizing time was set at 4 min
the moxa yield rate of Artemisiae Argyi Folium from different origins in descending order was as follows:Tangyin county
Anyang city
Henan province (24.10%) > Tongbo county
Nanyang city
Henan province (20.99%) > Anguo city
Hebei province (18.54%) > Fangcheng county
Nanyang city
Henan province (17.91%) > Wancheng district
Nanyang city
Henan province (15.45%) > field strain in Qichun town
Huanggang city
Hubei province (14.56%) > artificial cultivation in Qichun town
Huanggang city
Hubei province (12.02%) > Xixia county
Nanyang city
Henan province (8.34%). When the pulverizing time was set at 7 min
the moxa yield rate of Artemisiae Argyi Folium from different origins in descending order was as follows:Tongbo county
Nanyang city
Henan province (9.05%) > Anguo city
Hebei province (7.60%) > Fangcheng county
Nanyang city
Henan province (6.58%) > Wancheng district
Nanyang city
Henan province (6.04%) > field strain in Qichun town
Huanggang city
Hubei province (5.12%) > Tangyin county
Anyang city
Henan province (4.51%) > artificial cultivation in Qichun town
Huanggang city
Hubei province (4.43%) > Xixia county
Nanyang city
Henan province (1.50%). Conclusion: The optimally-selected moxa production technique was reasonable and feasible. When the pulverizing time was set at 4 min
the moxa yield rate of Artemisiae Argyi Folium originated from Tangyin in Anyang
Tongbo in Nanyang and Anguo in Hebei was relatively higher;while the pulverizing time was set at 7 min
the moxa yield rate of Artemisiae Argyi Folium originated from Tongbo in Nanyang
Anguo in Hebei and Fangcheng in Nanyang was higher.
