    The raw material of traditional Chinese medicine extraction tank is usually solid, so the extraction process is liquid-solid extraction, commonly known as leaching, also known as extraction or leaching, that is, the operation of extracting soluble components from solid raw materials with solution [multi-functional extraction tank] key points of extraction solvent of Chinese medicine extraction tank: A It is necessary to have high solubility for effective components and low solubility for impurities B no chemical change with ingredients C the solvent shall be cheap, easy to obtain and safe to use Commonly used Chinese medicine extraction tank solvent: water, ethanol 1 The advantages and disadvantages of extracting solvent from Chinese medicine extracting tank when using water as solvent: A low price, easy access and safe use B polar solvent with strong penetrability to traditional Chinese medicine cells C most of the effective components in the medicinal materials can be extracted Disadvantages: a the medicine with more starch, pectin and mucilage content is easy to be gelatinized and difficult to filter B glycosides can be hydrolyzed easily with water (such as baicalin) C the selectivity of the components is poor, and the impurities extracted are more
    d。 The extract is prone to rancidity, deterioration and can not stay for a long time 2 Advantages and disadvantages of using water as solvent: A good solubility, most effective components can be dissolved B strong cell penetration and complete component extraction C It has strong selectivity to the components of medicinal materials (starch, protein, pectin, mucilage and other impurities are not easy to dissolve) more than 90% - extracting volatile oil, organic acid, resin, etc 50% - 70% - most alkaloids and glycosides below 50% - anthraquinones and saponins D The extract is well preserved (more than 20% of them have anti-corrosion function) disadvantages: a the price is more expensive B It has certain physiological activity C flammable and unsafe Hangzhou Yupai Light Industry Machinery Co., Ltd
