    At present, there are many methods and processes for decolorization of traditional Chinese medicine, but they can be classified by the following methods )`, S5 J-V ා C9 x'n-1 It is the most common, simplest and less effective method to remove pigment according to the difference of solubility in different solvents 1 Water extraction and alcohol precipitation: it can remove a small part of water-soluble pigment Alcohol extraction and water sedimentation: most of the fat soluble pigments can be removed 0 d0h9 W1 I, 1 K: J9 g (alternatively use two methods),% A2 R8 K3 Z + N1 R5} - K2 Acid base precipitation method: for example, when the impurity pigment is some phenolic acid components such as flavonoids, anthraquinone, etc., it can adjust the pH value below 3, and precipitate 2、 According to the distribution ratio of pigment in two-phase solvent, a ා R / z1f) l + n7v ා x can be removed For example, when the impurity pigment is some phenolic acid components such as flavonoids and anthraquinone, the method of adjusting the pH to more than 12 can be used to extract with organic solvent At this time, because the pigment exists in the form of dissociation, it is not suitable to be extracted 5 p $h ා P; M z) y $d5z 1 D, G5 {'m!
