Ultrasonic extraction of traditional Chinese medicine

Aug 01, 2021

In the impression, Chinese medicine is boiled in a dark brown casserole, but I did not expect that Chinese medicine and ultrasonic technology can also be linked together in a dream - using ultrasonic to extract Chinese medicine.


Ultrasonic extraction technology can produce a series of near-extreme conditions in the medium of chemical reaction. This energy can not only stimulate or promote many chemical reactions, speed up chemical reactions, but also change the direction of some chemical reactions and produce some chemical reactions. Unexpected effects and miracles. The successful ultrasonic ultrasonic Chinese medicine extraction equipment is suitable for the extraction of active ingredients of Chinese herbal medicines, and the single extraction yield is as high as 95%. Wide applicability and high cost performance.


So what are the advantages of ultrasonic extraction of traditional Chinese medicine?

1. No high temperature is required, and it does not destroy some medicinal components in Chinese medicinal materials that are thermally unstable, easily hydrolyzed or oxidized. Ultrasound can promote the wall breaking of plant cells and improve the curative effect of traditional Chinese medicine;

Second, the extraction is sufficient, and the extraction amount is more than twice that of the traditional process;

3. The extraction efficiency is high, the best extraction rate can be obtained by ultrasonic enhanced extraction for 20-40 minutes, the extraction time is only boiled, and one third or less of the alcohol precipitation method;

4. It has a broad spectrum and is suitable for the extraction of most types of Chinese herbal medicines;

5. No heating or low heating temperature, greatly reducing energy consumption;

6. The processing capacity of raw materials of medicinal materials is large, which is doubled or several times increased, and the impurities are few, and the active ingredients are easy to separate and purify;

7. The extraction process has low cost and significant comprehensive economic benefits;

8, ultrasonic has a certain bactericidal effect to ensure that the extract is not easy to deteriorate;

9, the operation is simple and easy, and the equipment maintenance and maintenance are convenient
