Features: This book is a monograph written by the author based on their many years of scientific research experience and achievements in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Starting from the macroscopic overall effect of chemical components in TCM herbs on light absorption, it combines the holistic view of traditional Chinese medicine theory with modern ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy technology, establishing the UV spectral line group method for TCM identification. The book consists of twelve chapters, with the first six briefly introducing the principles, instruments, and applications of UV spectroscopy technology in TCM research. The last six chapters focus on the application of the UV spectral line group method in TCM identification, listing the UV spectral line group color charts of 122 TCM herbs and 100 famous Chinese TCM preparations. The content of the book is novel, pioneering the field of "TCM Spectral Identification Science" and laying a solid foundation for its formation and development. This book can serve as a reference tool for professionals in TCM stations, pharmaceutical factories, pharmacies, and drug inspection departments to control the quality of TCM, as well as for TCM researchers. It also holds reference value for workers in the fields of food, environmental protection, biochemistry, biochemical engineering, and chemical engineering.
