ABSTRACT
This paper was aimed to study the quantitation method of bitterness intensity of bitter drug, and to ex-plore the mutual relations between the bitterness intensity and the concentration of bitter drugs solution. The mod-el drug of berberine hydrochloride, which was made into a series of solutions of different concentrations, was ap-plied. Twenty volunteers, who were screened, trained and qualified, tasted the different concentration of aqueous solution, with the purpose of detecting the rank bitterness intensity. After analyzing the features of the data and testing the logarithm model and Weibull curve model, as well as nonlinear fitting, we finally set up the appropri-ate relationship curve between the concentration and the bitterness intensity. There is a good curve positive corre-lation between the bitterness intensity and the concentration, which is consistent with the Weibull curve model (R2= 0.9973, RMSE = 0.0976, RMSECV = 0.1453). The fitting degree of the model established in this paper is high, which provides a reference for quantitation and forecast of the drug bitterness.
