[Study on microwave processing technology of achyranthis bidentatae radix by orthogonal design].

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To study the microwave processing method of Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix processed with wine. METHODS: The content of total saponins, oleanolic acid and ß-ecdysterone were determined as the indices to get the optimal microwave processing technology by orthogonal design. RESULTS: The best technology of Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix processed with wine werethe amount of vinegar was 20%, moistening time was 60 min, with 60% microwave heating for 3 min. CONCLUSION: This method is simple, practical, scientific and easy to control.
