[Study on micro-wave processed of Psoralea corylifolia with uniform and regression analysis].
OBJECTIVE
To optimize the herb processing process for the total contains of psoralen and isopsoralen and the rate of extract in Psoralea corylifolia by micro-wave herb processing.


METHODS
The contains of psoralen and isopsoralen was obtained by HPLC. The micro-wave herb processing process was optimized by the way of uniform design and contour map.


RESULTS
The optimum process was:20% as salt concentration, 4h as immerse time, micro-wave strength as strong, 270 seconds as micro-wave time. The absolute error of the predicted value from the models were smaller than 6% and 0. 3% respectively.


CONCLUSIONS
The regression models are notable and reasonable, which can forecast results precisely.
