The situation of plant extraction industry is good, which instruments and equipment help secretly?

Recently, the high-tech industrial site of natural plant extract in South China was officially established in Yongzhou City, Hunan Province The natural plant extraction base with an annual output of 5000 tons is expected to return to people's eyes the plant extraction industry with good development trend in recent years With the development of society, the existing medical model has already changed from the traditional disease treatment to the combination of health care, disease prevention, treatment and rehabilitation At the same time, people are increasingly pursuing "return to nature" in the nature of drugs and "green health" in the use of drugs Compared with the chemical drugs, the natural plant extract drugs will show the unique advantages It is understood that plant extraction technology is a technical means to extract plants by physical or chemical extraction methods according to the required ingredients, and to condense or obtain one or several effective ingredients in plants without changing the structure of effective ingredients At present, there are many methods of plant extraction, such as water extraction, organic solvent extraction, ultrasonic extraction, microwave extraction, supercritical extraction and membrane separation Among them, ultrasonic extraction technology has become a modern high-tech means of high efficiency, environmental protection and energy saving due to its unique advantages such as short extraction time, low temperature, high efficiency, less impurities in liquid medicine, low cost and wide adaptability It is understood that the ultrasonic extractor can be used for cell breakage, extraction of active ingredients and killing or activation of bacteria in plants In addition, plant extracts have higher requirements for production conditions and technology According to Xiaobian, most small pharmaceutical enterprises are limited by funds, lack of talents and backward technical equipment, so they still use traditional processes such as decocting and reflux extraction, resulting in low efficiency, large energy consumption, material waste, and many impurities in the extraction process In order to obtain high-quality plant extracts, the extraction of plant effective ingredients needs to go through many steps, such as high temperature enzyme killing, crushing, extraction, precipitation, freeze-drying, purification and so on At this time, people need to use the equipment such as centrifuge, freeze dryer, spectrophotometer, HPLC system, etc Not only that, analysis and detection technology is also an important part of plant extract quality assurance In the field of plant extraction, analysis and detection technology can realize the quantitative analysis of effective components and harmful substances in plant extracts In addition to our common high performance liquid chromatograph, gas chromatograph, GC-MS, LC-MS, atomic spectroscopy and other analytical instruments and methods are also widely used in this field According to the information of foresight.com, the plant extraction industry has greatly promoted the economic development of many downstream industries, such as medicine and health care, cosmetics, agriculture, etc Among them, plant extracts, as the main raw materials of traditional Chinese medicine, have won the "C" position in the field of medicine and health care At the same time, it is not difficult for us to find that there are still some shortcomings in the plant extraction industry in China, such as serious waste of resources, large gap in technical strength of enterprises, and confusion in product quality detection methods However, as a new industry in China, plant extraction industry has great potential for development It is believed that based on abundant plant resources, guided by reasonable policies and regulations, and driven by people's needs, the development of plant extraction industry will continue to improve.
