title: [Research on processing mechanism of Zushima which was stir-fried with licorice based on TG-DTG].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the processing mechanism of Zushima which was stir-fried with licorice.
  
  
  METHODS
  Study of pyrolysis characteristics for extraction of Zushima effective part, petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate, n-butanol parts and the mixture of Zushima effective parts and licorice solid powder according to the proportion of 10: 1, 10: 2, 10: 3 was carried out in the thermogravimetric analyzer, the simulation of air (N2-O2 4:1) was chosen as carrier gas and heating rate was 5 degrees C x min(-1).
  
  
  RESULTS
  Compared with TG-DTG curve of Zushima effective parts, the major weightloss temperature range of petroleum ether extraction which has strong stimulation was 320-390 degrees C, 0.69% x min(-1) weightlessness rate peak gradually moved forward with the addition of licorice powder, finally it was merged with the peak around 265 degrees C. In addition, effective department of Zushima at 291, 516 degrees C for 2.38% x min(-1) and 2.42% x min(-1) thermal weightlessness rate peak shift to lower temperature, the moving range were about 20-26, 19-50 degrees C, the former was significantly reduced, the latter was significantly increased.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  In the course of programmed temperature heating, petroleum ether department was easy to lose with the addition oflicorice solid powder. At the same time, the main efficacy components of Zushima had a slow loss rate, which supported the processing mechanisms of TG-DTG method to research traditional Chinese medicine, and verified irritating characteristics that stimulus reduced after stir-fried with licorice.
