title: [Study on method of paeonia radix alba producing and concocting integration processing].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the origin pre-treating and processing integration techniques of Paeonia Radix Alba.
  
  
  METHODS
  Different processing integration techniques were adopted and compared with traditional processing techniques to determine drying rate, aqueous extracts and peoniflori content.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Half-dry slices baked at 100 degrees C for 20 min and steamed at 100 degrees C for 10 min had the highest peoniflori contents. Half-dry slices baked at 100 degrees C for 20 min had the highest content of aqueous extracts. Products processed with conventional method and sulfur-fumigation had the lowest content of aqueous extracts.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The origin processing integration techniques of Paeonia Radix Alba lose less active ingredients than conventional processing methods.
