Features: This book is divided into two parts. The first part covers the basic approaches for researching traditional Chinese medicine preparations, raw medicinal materials and intermediates, preparation techniques, bioenzymatic hydrolysis, supercritical fluid extraction, ultrasound, microwave, centrifugal separation, macroporous resin adsorption, adsorption clarification, membrane separation, molecular distillation, concentration, drying, and dynamic circulating continuous counter-current extraction techniques. Among these, ultrafine grinding technology, bioenzymatic hydrolysis technology, supercritical fluid extraction technology, macroporous resin separation technology, and membrane separation technology were key breakthrough technologies during China's "Ninth Five-Year Plan" period. Each technique is discussed from aspects such as principles, equipment, process parameters, application examples and evaluation, as well as existing problems, to highlight both scientific rigor and practicality. This book serves as a reference for faculty and students of higher medical institutions, graduate students, and scientific and technical personnel in pharmaceutical research institutions.
