微波干燥及灭菌技术在中药领域应用概况

Application of Microwave Drying and Sterilization Technology in TCM Field

与中药传统干燥方法相比,微波技术不仅具有操作简便、快捷、效果佳、药物外观性状保持良好、耗能低等特点,在干燥的同时,还有非常优异的灭菌效果。本文简述了微波干燥、灭菌技术的特点及影响因素,综述其在中药领域的应用概况,并针对安全性问题(微波辐射和微波残留)等提出目前研究存在的问题及展望。

Compared with traditional drying methods for Chinese materia medica, microwave drying technology is not only with the features of easy and convenient to operate, rapidity, good effects, well remained appearance of medicine and low energy consumption, but also with the feature of extraordinary sterilization effects at the same time with drying. This article introduced the features and effects of microwave drying and sterilization technology, reviewed its application in the TCM field, and proposed existing problems and prospects in the recent research by targeting security problems（microwave radiation and microwave residue）.
