METHODS: Six Yuanzhi (Radix Palygalae) samples were investigated using thermogravimetry analysis. The heating courses were set in two ways: the temperature-programmed process from room temperature to 150℃ ,and the constant-temperature course at 50℃, 70℃ and 90℃. RESULTS: The peak temperature of six Yuanzhi (Radix Palygalae) samples ranged from 78℃ to 88℃. The mass loss rate of Yuanzhi (Radix Palygalae) alcohol-soluble extract was significantly increased when heated at 90℃. Four types of bioactive ingredients were detected in volatile oils of Yuanzhi (Radix Palygalae) sample from Shanxi province by Gas Chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy results showed that the drying temperature exerted a great influence on types and amount of ingredients of Yuanzhi (Radix Palygalae). The kinetic study showed that the constant-temperature drying process of Yuanzhi Radix Palygalae) samples could be well de- scribed by the Page Model, especially for the drying process at 50~C, in which R2 and SD values were more than 0.98 and less than 0.04, respectively.The drying constant k of three Yuanzhi (Radix Palygalae) samples from Shanxi, Gansu and Shaanxi provinces in China was corresponding to the Arrhenius equation, and their activation energies were 28.07, 2.5.38 and 21.48 kJ/mol, respectively. CONCLUSION: The drying process of Yuanzhi (Radix Palygalae) was very important for bioactive ingredients improvement in Yuanzhi (Radix Palygalae). Temperature was a thermodynamic property significantly affecting the process.展开更多
