Analysis on rationality of medicinal product commodity specifications from determination of chemical components in Astragalus Radix / 中草药

ABSTRACT

By summarizing the results of the determination of index chemical composition in the samples of product specification and growth period of Astragalus Radix, we analyze the reason for the contradictions of determination results as follows The actual growth years of the sample are not clear, the test samples mixed, and we draw the conclusion that the existing commodity classification is not scientific. Proposing a set of methods to identify actual growth years of Astragalus Radix and to carry out the research by comparing the chemical and biological effects with the subjects which we have known the exact growth years. Aiming to get the exterior features associated with its chemical compositions and biological effects to interpret the meaning of "assessing the quality by distinguishing the features of CMM". Finally, to establish the kinds of standards that not only embody the actual growth years of Astragalus Radix, but also for applicable to market transactions
