Objective: To study the impact of machine-boiling decoction on TCM prescription’s total extracts and active ingredients
to provide a basis for the scientific evaluation of the extracting machine and the theory of Chinese Herbal medicine or 'decocted later’ to provide a basis. Method: The classic prescription 'Liuwei Dihuang decoction’was used as the representative
and the content of the two decoctions was analyzed with RP-HPLC using paeonol as indicator was analyzed. This result was used to evaluate the quality of decoctions. Result: Paeonol in the decoctions of the machine-boiling was significantly higher than that of the traditional one. But the result is opposite to the total extracts. Conclusion: The significant quality difference of 'Liuwei Dihuang decoction’ is between the tradition-boiling method and the machine one.
