Effect of sulfur fumigation on quality of Angelica dahurica and alternative processing methods in producing areas

doi:10.19803/j.1672-8629.20220687

Abstract

Abstract: Sulfur fumigation, as a processing and preservation method of traditional Chinese medicine in producing areas, is capable of insect control, mildew prevention, maintenance of bright color and acceleration of drying of traditional Chinese medicine. However, sulfur fumigation can also reduce the content of active ingredients in Chinese medicinal materials and transform them into new compounds while increasing the content of sulfur dioxide residue, heavy metals and harmful elements, which may reduce the efficacy but increase safety risks. Based on the literature available, this paper summarizes the impact of sulfur fumigation on the quality of Angelica dahurica and studies the processing methods in producing areas in order to provide reference for quality control of Angelica dahurica.

Key words: sulfur fumigation, A. dahurica, activity difference, quality control, processing in the producing area, pharmacological effect, adverse reactions
