title: [Optimization of Preparation of Cutting-processed Arecae Pericarpium with Multi-index Orthogonal Method].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  10 optimize the preparation of cutting-processed Arecae Pericarpium by the orthogonal method.
  
  
  METHODS
  With four alkaloids such as arecoline, arecaidine, guvacoline, guvacine and yield of water-soluble decoction as indexes, a L9 (3(4)) orthogonal test was adopted to compare the effect of different factors on cutting-processed Arecae Pericarpium.
  
  
  RESULTS
  According to the finalized optimal process, Arecae Pericarpium was washed quickly, moisturized, chopped lengthwise in 1 cm segment and then dried for 2.5 h at 50 °C.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The optimal process method is reasonable and reliable, it can provide basis for the preparation of cutting-processed Arecae Pericarnium.
