Objective: To compare effect of different drying methods on the content of active components from Scutellaria baicalensis
to find out optimum drying method for S. baicalensis. Method: S. baicalensis was processed by six drying methods including natural drying in the sun
natural drying in the shade
oven drying under 60 ℃
vacuum drying
infrared drying and microwave drying. Result: The content of active component(baicalin) was the highest(average content was 14.43%) by infrared drying;But it should adopt natural drying in the sun for S. baicalensis by comprehensive analyzing of the cost
the content of active component and practicality. Conclusion: Optimized drying method for S. baicalensis was stable and high controllability.
