title: [Study on quality changes of Radix Aconiti Lateralis Praeparata under different storage conditions].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To analyze the changes of the content of water, soluble protein, total alkaloids, polysaccharides of Radix Aconiti Lateralis Praeparata under different storage treatments.
  
  
  METHODS
  The experiment was conducted in 4 kinds of storage methods, such as sack storage, sand storage, cold storage, and the natural heap as the control.
  
  
  RESULTS
  During storage, the content of water, total alkaloids and polysaccharides tended to decline, while the content of soluble protein increased.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Compared with the others, the cold storage is most suitable for keeping good quality of Radix Aconiti Lateralis Praeparata.
