Investigation of the Quality of Chinese Herbs (III)

本調查於台北地區價購前胡、桑枝、射干、竹茹、夏枯草、白果、杜仲、旋覆花、山楂、石斛、菟絲子、桑寄生、蘆根、獨活、芡實、沙參、羌活、石菖蒲、半夏、藿香、茯神、枳殼、遠志、板藍根、知母、辛夷、細辛、款冬花、木香、白朮等三十種中藥材，每種藥材各20件，計600件之檢體，就乾燥減重、總灰分、酸不溶性灰分、稀醇抽提物及水抽提物等項目試驗。另亦透過台灣區製藥公會會員廠，搜集各中藥廠依本調查之各項分析方法檢驗並提供上述三十種藥材相關實驗數據，再加上彙集文獻中相關之檢驗資料一併歸納整理。綜合以上結果，三十種藥材中，每種藥材各檢體之五項試驗結果，與其M±S.D.值比較，其中乾燥減重、總灰分、酸不溶性灰分三項之試驗值分佈低於其M+S.D.值者，以及稀醇抽提物、水抽提物兩項之試驗值分佈高於其M-S.D.值者，亦即五項結果皆尚屬分佈於合理範圍之藥材，包括射干、夏枯草、知母、辛夷及木香等五種中藥材。其餘包括前胡等二十五種中藥材，每種藥材約有一至四項之試驗結果，其試驗值超出或低於M±S.D.值者，其分佈超出合理範圍。本實驗以此等數據為藍本，以統計學原理訂定一約可涵蓋84.13%檢體之數據，作為上述三十種藥材各項試驗之參考規格值，以供參考。

In this investigation, thirty types of marketed Chinese herbs including Peucedani Radix, Mori Ramulus, Belamcandae Rhizoma, Bambusae Caulis In Taeniis, Prunellae Spica, Ginkgo Semen, Eucommiae Cortex, Inulae Flos, Crataegi Fructus, Dendrobii Caulis, Cuscutae Semen, Loranthi Ramulus, Pharagmitis Rhizoma, Angelicae Tuhou Radix, Euryales Semen, Adenophorae Radix, Notopterygii Rhizoma, Acori Graminei Rhizoma, Pinelliae Tuber, Agastachis Herba, Poria, Citri Immaturus Fructus, Polygalae Radix, Baphicacanthis Rhizoma, Anemarrhenae Rhizoma, Magnoliae Flos, Asiasari Radix, Farfarae Flos, Saussureae Radix, and Atractylodis Rhizoma were analyzed.Analysis of loss on drying, diluted ethanol-soluble extractive, water-soluble extractive, total ash and acid-insoluble ash of herbs were performed.To summarize the above survey results of the five tests done for each herb, the produced values compared with their M+S.D. or M-S.D., five herbs that displayed a reasonable distribution in their test results were Belamcandae Rhizoma, Prunellae Spica, Anemarrhenae Rhizoma, Magnoliae Flos, and Saussureae Radix. The other 25 herbs displayed an unreasonable distribution in response to one to four of five tests performed. Based on the data obtained, this experiment is able to generate a statistic value that can cover most of the reasonable data. This data then can be served as a remarkable estimation value for the future testing on the above thirty types of herbs.
