近红外光谱技术在中草药分析中的应用

中草药分析与鉴定对中草药质量控制意义重大,传统分析方法由于过程复杂、需要丰富的经验等不利因素,无法满足快速分析和在线分析的要求。近红外光谱技术具有预处理简单、分析速度快、适用于固体漫反射技术和光纤技术等特点,已经在中草药有效组分的快速测定、在线质量控制、药材真伪鉴别、产地及质量鉴定等方面得到广泛应用。文章介绍了近红外光谱技术的基本原理和分析方法,综述了近红外光谱技术在中草药定量及定性分析方面的具体应用。

Applications of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy to Analysis of Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine

Analysis of traditional Chinese herbal medicine is of great importance to its quality control. Conventional analysis methods can not meet the requirement of rapid and on-line analysis because of complex process more experiences or needed. In recent years, near-infrared spectroscopy technique has been used for rapid determination of active components, on-line quality control, identification of counterfeit and discrimination of geographical origins of herbal medicines and so on, due to its advantages of simple pretreatment, high efficiency, convenience to use solid diffuse reflection spectroscopy and fiber. In the present paper, the principles and methods of near-infrared spectroscopy technique are introduced concisely. Especially, the applications of this technique in quantitative analysis and qualitative analysis of traditional Chinese herbal medicine are reviewed.
