Features: In the modern evaluation methods for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) quality, the identification of physical constants is one of the key components. This book is divided into ten chapters, focusing on elaborating the basic concepts, theories, and methods of physicochemical constant identification for TCM. It also introduces the application of these methods in the quality identification of commonly used TCM, including methods such as relative density identification, hardness identification, melting point identification, freezing point identification, boiling range identification, refractive index identification, thermal analysis identification, X-ray diffraction analysis identification, and other identification methods. The book provides 217 examples of TCM identification. The content recorded in this book fully reflects the latest achievements and development trends of modern TCM quality evaluation methods. This book can serve as a specialized textbook for doctoral and master's students in TCM and pharmaceutical disciplines, as a training textbook for licensed TCM practitioners, and as a reference book for professionals at all levels in the pharmaceutical industry to enhance their professional competence.
