Traditional Chinese medicine extracts face major inspections, extraction equipment and technology are "stimulated"

On August 1, the general office of the food and Drug Administration issued the notice of the general office of the food and Drug Administration on the special inspection of Chinese herbal extracts, which will be carried out This also means that the regulation of traditional Chinese medicine extracts is further strengthened and the requirements of extract management are more stringent Extraction of traditional Chinese medicine is an important part of the production process of traditional Chinese medicine, and it is also a big problem faced by the traditional Chinese medicine industry In the past few years, many enterprises have changed the "ginkgo leaf event" of ginkgo leaf extraction process without authorization, which shakes the whole industry The illegal production of extract is a non-conforming behavior, which must be stopped and rectified in time In fact, in recent years, the progress of China's pharmaceutical industry is obvious to all, the extraction equipment and extraction technology of traditional Chinese medicine are also constantly improving, and the application scope is constantly expanding However, with the rapid development of modernization of traditional Chinese medicine, the development of extraction and separation process of traditional Chinese medicine lags behind due to energy consumption, material consumption, impurities and low efficiency, which affects the overall development of traditional Chinese medicine extraction industry, and also makes the problems of domestic extraction equipment of traditional Chinese Medicine prominent, which is difficult to meet the market demand According to people with many years of experience in the industry, traditional Chinese medicine extraction, especially compound extraction, is a relatively complex process, which is still a weak point for many Chinese patent medicine enterprises Experts in the industry believe that enterprises producing Chinese herbal extracts should explore the extraction process of Chinese herbal medicines, and gradually realize the scientific, standardized and standardized production of Chinese herbal extracts on the premise of maintaining "Chinese herbal characteristics" The release of this special inspection will be conducive to further standardizing the production process and production standards of traditional Chinese medicine extraction industry, and will also promote the optimization and upgrading of traditional Chinese medicine extraction equipment and realize the modernization of production equipment In the special inspection content, the author found that the production enterprises of traditional Chinese medicine extracts will focus on the inspection of the production of extracts The enterprises must carry out production according to the GMP standard The extraction workshop will carry out inspection, and the quality control measures for the storage, packaging and transportation of extracts need to be paid attention to Experts pointed out that the chemical composition of traditional Chinese medicine is very complex, and the extraction of its effective components is an important content in the field of traditional Chinese medicine research The effective components of traditional Chinese medicine generally refer to the chemical substances with clear chemical structure formula and physical constant If the concentration of the effective components is not high, the dosage will be increased At the same time, because of the existence of ineffective or low utility parts, traditional Chinese medicine is easy to absorb moisture and deteriorate, and difficult to preserve, so it is necessary to extract and separate the effective components of traditional Chinese medicine The extraction process and equipment determine the quality of Chinese herbal extracts, and is closely related to the profits of enterprises Therefore, in addition to the exploration and optimization of extraction process and technology, enterprises are also crucial for the upgrading of relevant extraction equipment Traditional Chinese medicine extraction tank is the key equipment in the extraction process of traditional Chinese medicine extract In the long exploration process, according to the different extraction process, the researchers combined with the actual production situation, carried out innovation and improvement in the structure At present, there are many extraction forms, such as positive cone extraction, straight cylinder extraction, inverted cone extraction and so on With the promotion of innovation, green and sustainable development concept, the functions of TCM extraction equipment in the market are more comprehensive, with high extraction concentration, good extraction efficiency, and effective reduction of enterprise production costs More humanized design factors, such as reducing noise pollution, improving self-locking performance, reducing the damage to the equipment during the operation of the staff, and strengthening the stable operation of the equipment With the expansion of digital and intelligent trend, the future of Chinese medicine extraction equipment will gradually achieve digital and intelligent innovation, bringing new breakthroughs for Chinese medicine extraction The author believes that with the more stringent requirements for the production of traditional Chinese medicine extracts, relevant extraction equipment R & D enterprises should innovate in products, deepen in industrial services, and make fine and fine equipment to help the production of traditional Chinese medicine extracts more standardized In addition, in the production process of traditional Chinese medicine extract, the requirements for the production workshop are extremely strict, which stresses asepsis and dust-free pollution Therefore, the production enterprise must do a good job in the workshop cleaning to ensure that the traditional Chinese medicine extract is asepsis and pollution-free The storage, packaging, transportation and other links related to production also need to be operated according to standards one by one, especially in the packaging link, the quality of product packaging will affect the quality of products, and the large-scale demand of Chinese herbal extracts market will promote the development of packaging production towards automation and intelligence, and packaging machine manufacturers will also face new opportunities and challenges.
