T/ALBCIA 001-2020 Specification and Grade Requirements for Desert Cistanche Tubulosa as Medicinal Materials
T/ALBCIA 001-2020
Basic Information
Scope
Main technical content: In the past, desert cynomorium was generally classified according to the shape and length of the medicinal material. However, cynomorium has significant differences in quality due to different growth periods and sizes, as well as a significant decline in overall quality after bolting. Through comprehensive research on the overall pharmacological effects of cynomorium and market surveys, cynomorium whole stems and slices are divided into three grades (first-grade, second-grade, and general-grade) based on their appearance, texture, diameter, and hollowing rate, which meet market demand and reflect the quality characteristics of high-quality medicinal materials. This helps to standardize the cultivation and harvesting of cynomorium and prevent the harvesting of immature or substandard medicinal materials.
