ABSTRACT

This paper described the present situation of Chinese medicinal materials and their slices in terms of cultivation,harvest,slices process,circulation,surpervision,listed the possible reasons for quality reduction of Chinese medicinal materials,and proposed solutions based on the situation.We believe that the significant improvement in the quality of Chinese medicinal materials (slices) is viable by decreasing the uncertainties during manufacture process,which could be accomplished by establishing the intensive management of medicinal material cultivation,harvest and slice production process.Besides,the revision of Pharmacopeia standards for TCM was requested for better application in current market and for production property improvement.Finally,as a kind of medicine,traditional Chinese medicinal materials should be unified under SFDA during the whole process of production,which is more conducive to medicinal materials traceability and quality monitoring within the whole industrial chain.
