ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To analyze the research status and hotspots of wine processing of Chinese medicine, and to provide reference for its related research. METHODS Related literature about wine processing research in Chinese medicine was retrieved from CNKI and Web of Science (WOS). VOSviewer 1.6.18 and CiteSpace 6.1.1R2 software were used to visualize the core authors, research institutions, keywords, and other contents. RESULTS A total of 962 Chinese literature and 57 English literature were included in the study. In total, the trend in the amount of Chinese and English literature was on the rise during 2000-2022. The analysis of the authors showed that ZHANG Xuelan and CAI Baochang had the most publications in Chinese and English literature. Research institutions were mainly Chinese medicine universities, and Chengdu University of Chinese Medicine and Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine were the research institutions with the largest number of Chinese and English literature published. The analysis of keywords in Chinese and English literature showed that the wine-processing research of Chinese medicine mainly focused on wine-processed varieties, chemical constituents, wine-processed process, and quality standards. Response surface method, chroma value, metabolomics, and action mechanism had become current research hotspots. CONCLUSIONS The related research of wine processing for Chinese medicine is still in the development period. In the future, the response surface method to optimize the wine-processed process and the combination of metabolomics with related technologies of other omics to reveal the pharmacodynamic mechanism of wine processing for Chinese medicine is still the future development trend. In the future, cooperation between institutions should be further strengthened, and research on the use of excipients and alcohol should be strengthened. Modern analytical methods should be utilized to enhance the efficiency of wine processing for Chinese medicine, thereby promoting the modernization and internationalization of wine processing for Chinese medicine.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTaking Chuanxiong Chatiaosan prescription as the carrier, by comparing the differences of volatile components in Chuanxiong Rhizoma with single decoction pieces and compatible prescription of different decoction pieces, the differences of material basic connotation of different formulations of Chuanxiong Chatiaosan were revealed from the aspects of processing (raw and wine-processed products), compound compatibility and dosage form (powder and decoction). MethodThe volatile oil was extracted from different decoction pieces of Chuanxiong Rhizoma, Chuanxiong Chatiaosan and its decoction with different decoction pieces of Chuanxiong Rhizoma by steam distillation, the main components and their relative contents were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). ResultA total of 25 volatile components were identified from different processed products of Chuanxiong Rhizoma, including 11 monoterpenoids, 4 phenols, 3 sesquiterpenoids, 3 phthalides, 2 ketones and 2 olefins, the contents of α-pinene, β-pinene, 3-butylphthalide and others increased after the raw products was processed with wine. A total of 85 constituents were identified from Chuanxiong Chatiaosan with different decoction pieces, including 31 monoterpenoids, 23 sesquiterpenoids, 5 alcohols, 5 aldehydes, 4 phenols, 4 phthalides, 3 ethers, 3 ketones, 1 olefin, 1 organic acid, 2 esters and 3 other compounds. A total of 22 components, including 9 sesquiterpenoids, 3 phthalides, 2 phenols, 6 monoterpenoids, 1 aldehyde and 1 alkane, were identified from the decoction of Chuanxiong Chatiaosan with different processed products. ConclusionThere was no significant difference in the composition between raw products and wine-processed products of Chuanxiong Rhizoma either in single decoction pieces or in compatibility prescription, but the relative content changed to some extent, and the wine-processed products was the most obvious. There was a great difference in the composition of volatile components between the Chuanxiong Chatiaosan and its decoction. The volatile components, such as isopulegol, isocalamendiol and safrole, were not found in the decoction. Components in Chuanxiong Rhizoma processed with wine will change with the addition of yellow rice wine, and volatile components can reflect the difference between decoction pieces and prescriptions of the wine-processed products.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To compar e the volatile components of Cuscuta chinensis and its processed products ,and to conduct principal component analysis (PCA). METHODS The volatile components of C. chinensis ,C. chinensis stir-frying with saltwater , C. chinensis stir-frying with wine were identified by headspace solid phase microextraction combined with gas chromatography- mass spectrometry. The relative percentage of each component was calculated by area normalization method. The PCA was conducted by using SPSS 21.0 software. RESULTS A total of 117 compounds were identified from C. chinensis ,C. chinensis stir-frying with saltwater and C. chinensis stir-frying with wine ,of which 68 compounds were identified from C. chinensis (relative percentage of 92.41%),such as phytone ,2-methoxy-3-(2-propenl)phenol,n-pentadecane,β-caryophyllene. Sixty compounds (relative percentage of 89.41%) were identified from C. chinensis stir-frying with saltwater ,such as maltol ,2,3-dihydro- benzofuran,4-vinyl-2-methoxyphenol. Fifty-eight compounds (relative percentage of 87.02%)were identified from C. chinensis stir-frying with wine ,such as phenylethanol ,β-caryophyllene,macrocarehe D. There were 24 common components in the three , and relative percentage of them were 38.56%,30.61%,33.07%,respectively. After processing ,there were 49 new components , such as furfural ,n-hexanoic acid ,caryophyllene oxide. The results of PCA showed that the cumulative contribution rate of the former two principal components was 100% ;comprehensive score of volatile components of C. chinensis was the highest , followed by C. chinensis stir-frying with wine and C. chinensis stir-frying with saltwater. CONCLUSIONS The quality of volatile components in C. chinensis is good ;the volatile components in processed products are more than those in C. chinensis .
