title: [Optimization of processing technologies for dipsaci radix habitat by comprehensive evaluation method].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To optimize the processing technologies of Dipsaci Radix by comprehensive method.
  
  
  METHODS
  According to the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2010 edition), UV Spectrophotometry and HPLC analysis were used to determine the contents of total saponins, saponins VI of water extract and alcohol extract of Dipsaci Radix. Comprehensive evaluation method was used to optimize the processing technologies for Dipsaci Radix habitat.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The sequence of quality of processing was as follows: baked half dry sweating products (0.7046) > half dry sweating products (0.5857) in the shade > scald soft sweating products (0.5852) > bask dried products (0.3138) > evaporate soft sweating products (0.0952).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The processing technology optimized by the comprehensive method can ensure the quality of Dipsaci Radix.
