Study on microcosmic mechanism about microwave-assisted extraction of Radix Puerariae and Radix Caulis Acanthopanacis Senticosi / 中草药

ABSTRACT

Object To study microcosmic mechanism about microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) to Radix Puerariae (RP) and Radix Caulis Acanthopanacis Senticosi (RCAS). Methods By transmission electron microscope, the structure changes about tonoplast in RP and RCAS were observed. Results The effect on tonoplast was differently made by MAE and conventional reflux extracting method. Conclusion The effective ingredients could be dissolved more easily with MAE than conventional reflux extracting method.
