Chinese culture has a long history, and traditional Chinese medicine, as one of the representative traditional cultures of the Chinese nation, plays a key role in the health of Chinese people. In recent years, in order to ensure the healthy development of the Chinese medicine industry, the government has continuously promoted policies and formulated industry standards. Standardize the healthy development of the industry.Mass spectrometry as an important test method for the detection of traditional Chinese medicine, continuous technological breakthroughs for the development of Chinese medicine industry has brought a positive impact.
In recent years, China actively supports and encourages the development of traditional Chinese medicine industry, and the market prospect is favored by the insiders.However, it is not only because of interests, but also that the phenomenon of fraud and adulteration in Chinese medicine industry is not uncommon and seriously restricts the development of Chinese medicine industry At the same time, it greatly undermined the world's understanding of the Chinese medicine culture.
It is reported that before the existence of some Chinese medicine manufacturers in the process of traditional Chinese medicine with sulfur fumigated Zhebei as raw material, resulting in the finished product drug was detected in the higher sulfur content, resulting in human consumption of food caused harm. Xinhua News Agency recently broke the market donkey-hide gelatin product sales volume and donkey-hide raw material production does not meet the situation, said the market ejiao products are most likely doped with horse skin, mule skin, leather and so on.
Under the influence of these negative news, the development of China's traditional Chinese medicine industry plays a severe role in restricting the development of the Chinese medicine industry. Some people claim that 'buying cold medicine in Japan is a shame for Chinese pharmaceutical companies.' Thus, at present, the Chinese medicine industry in our country is facing such a serious' Confidence crisis. "However, in the face of the current industry dilemma, industry standards and other work must be stepped up. At the same time, the relevant testing methods and testing standards must exert their own values in order to standardize the services of the Chinese medicine industry.
Previously, the State Pharmacopoeia Commission held a small press conference on the preparation of the edition of "Chinese Pharmacopoeia" in 2020. It was proposed that the standardization of traditional Chinese medicine will be further consolidated and expanded, the test items of Chinese medicine standards should be perfected, the safety and effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine should be enhanced and the international standards should be continued As the country to ensure drug quality important code, its formulation and improvement of the quality assurance of our country is also of great significance.
On the other hand, at present, the state is further perfecting the test items of important standards to comprehensively improve the safety and effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine materials. The pesticide residues and detection technologies are also further regulated, the multi-component determination and some detection technologies are established and all-round promotion Chinese Medicine Safety Recently, researchers from Eurealert, Department of Applied Biology and Chemical Technology of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, have developed a new method for rapidly identifying the authenticity of Chinese herbal medicines and applied them to the identification of Ganoderma lucidum and Gastrodia elata.
The method is to establish a high-throughput on-line detection method of active ingredients in traditional Chinese medicine and medicinal plants, and to apply mass spectrometry to qualitative and quantitative analysis of active ingredients. The method is simple and rapid and can identify the authenticity of a medicinal sample in only about ten minutes Pseudo, distinction between wild or cultivated species and different origin, the method can also be used to identify other Chinese herbal medicines.
As a specialized technique widely used in the identification of chemical compounds by preparing, separating and detecting gas phase ions in various academic fields, the mass spectrometry method is considered to be a method that has both high specificity and high sensitivity and has been widely used Adaptability method.Nowadays, this technology continues to make breakthroughs, can complete the accurate detection of traditional Chinese medicine composition, and in the identification of traditional Chinese medicine, proprietary Chinese medicine and compound preparation has a greater advantage, for the development of Chinese medicine industry is of great significance .
