title: [Effect of ginger-processing on beta-sitosterol and total alkaloid contents in Rhizoma Pinelliae].
abstract: The contents of beta-sitosterol of five processed products of Rhizoma Pinelliae we were determined by TLC. The result showed that the lowest content of beta-sitosterol was found in Rhizoma Pinelliae boiled with ginger juice (0.0180%), and the highest in raw Phizoma Panelliae (0.0572%). The contents of total alkaloid of five processed products of Phizoma Pinelliae were also determined by gravimetry and spectrophotometry with acid dye. The result showed that the highest content of total alkaloid was obtained in Rhizoma Pinelliae boiled with ginger juice and alum, and the lowest in Rhizoma Pinelliae boiled with ginger juice.
