Regarding the plant extract industry, we have many process technologies. I will introduce the fermentation process of Chinese medicine today.
Traditional fermentation mostly relies on the endophytic bacteria of the Chinese medicinal materials for fermentation, while traditional fermentation mostly relies on the endophytic bacteria of the medicinal materials for fermentation. The modern fermentation technology is advanced in that it can artificially screen single or mixed strains through the deep layer of microorganisms. The combined action of fermentation and multiple enzymes achieves the effect of degradation of macromolecules and enrichment of active substances.
Traditional Chinese medicine fermentation was a processing process in ancient times. The concept of early fermentation was derived from fermented food, and Chinese medicine fermentation was derived from fermented food. Modern Chinese medicine fermentation technology is more diversified than the original fermentation method, the fermentation process is more controllable, and the quality and safety of fermented products will be higher. The fermentation process is an extension of modern Chinese medicine innovation.
There are many fermented varieties of Chinese medicine on the market. For example, Pien Tze Huang, its main ingredients are notoginseng, musk, snake gall, and bezoar. Panax notoginseng is used as a medicine after microbial fermentation; although Yunnan Baiyao is a medicine for external use, there are also fermented Chinese medicines. Its main component, Caowu, is a toxic traditional Chinese medicine. Reduce its toxicity. The well-known red ginseng is a cooked product of ginseng, and in the later stage of its processing method, there is also an indirect fermentation process.
The five functions of traditional Chinese medicine fermentation: The first is to improve its own medicinal effect, improve the bioavailability of medicinal materials, and make it better absorbed and more effective. The second is to reduce the toxicity of the drug. The common people recognize that "medicine is three-part poison", and the fermentation effect of microorganisms reduces adverse drug reactions. The third is to produce new medicinal effects and new active ingredients. The fourth is to save land and resources, to use all ingredients of fermented Chinese medicines, and to protect endangered Chinese medicines. The fermentation method can make full use of Chinese medicinal materials and carry out large-scale production and utilization. The fifth can be developed. New drug varieties, clinically expand new drug effects and varieties.
