硫磺熏蒸是一种传统的中药材产地加工养护方法,具有杀虫、防霉和增白等功效。然而硫磺熏蒸也会导致中药材活性成分转化,生成新的化合物,存在药效和毒性改变的隐患。本文在现有文献的基础上归纳总结硫熏熏蒸中药材化学成分的转化规律,为进一步评价硫熏工艺的合理性研究提供参考。
Sulfur- fumigation is a traditional post -harvest handling process for traditional Chinese medicinals, with the effects of insect prevention and anti - moth, as well as whitening. However, sulfur - fumigation can cause chemical com-position changes, which would result in potential activity alterations and safety hazards. This research summarizes the al- teration mechanism of chemical compositions in sulfur fumigated herbs through reviewing currently available information,so as to provide scientific bases for further research on evaluation of sulfur - fumigation in post - harvest handling of tra- ditional Chinese medicinals.
