[Pharmacognostical study on Fructus Hordei germinatus, Fructus Oryzae germinatus and Fructus Setariae germinatus].
OBJECTIVE
To establish the standard for quality control of Fructus Hordei germinatus, Fructus Oryzae germinatus and Fructus Setariae germinatus.


METHODS
The digital microscope and infrared spectroscopy were used in the pharmacognostical study.


RESULTS
Distinguished differences were found on morphological and microscopical features of these three crude drugs. Whereas, their infrared spectrums were basically all the same.


CONCLUSIONS
The study provides a convenient, effect method for the identification of these three medicinal materials.
