[Measurement and analysis of platycodon grandiflorum with space flight mutagenesis breeding by XRF].
X-ray fluorescence spectrum (XRF) analytic method was used to analyze and compare the contents of various mineral elements in the ground group platycodon grandiflorum, the comparison group platycodon grandiflorum and the fourth generation platycodon grandiflorum with space flight mutagenesis breeding. The result indicated that the contents of microelements Zn, Mn and Fe in the outer space group increase by 1.9, 2.4 and 0.6 times respectively, compared with those in the ground group. Microelements Zn, Mn and Fe concern curative effect such as expectorant effect in the Chinese traditional medicine. And the elements Zn and Mn increase by 0.6 and 1.9 times respectively, compared with the comparison group. The outer space group is closer and/or superior to the comparison group compared with the ground group. To conclude, the performance of the outer space group platycodon grandiflorum was upgraded obviously. X-ray fluorescence spectrum analytic method has many advantages, such as quickness, simpleness, high sensitivity, wide measure range, and easy reappearance etc. The method could be applied to the mensuration and analysis of the other traditional Chinese medicines which could be ground into powder.
