Application of Microwave Energy in the Processing of Traditional Chinese Medicine
Microwave is a radio wave operating at 300-30000MHz. The thermal and biochemical effects of microwave on biological media can be widely used in food processing and disinfection. In recent years, microwave drying machine technology has been rapidly developed for drying and sterilization of traditional Chinese medicine.
Traditional Chinese medicine processing uses steam baking and heat energy to bake and sterilize medicines. It consumes energy and time, and the quality of medicines is difficult to meet the requirements of health standards, and can not be stored for a long time.
Microwave heating produces high-speed rotational vibration on the polar genes of proteins and nucleic acids in bacteria. On the one hand, it generates heat. On the other hand, it denatures proteins and nucleic acids, kills fungi and agaricus, and produces obvious microwave drying and sterilization effects.
