In recent years, the traditional Chinese medicine industry has seen frequent favorable policies, bringing excellent opportunities for its development. However, with the growth of the herbal medicine market, issues such as inconsistent quality and counterfeit products have emerged. Industry insiders suggest that addressing the quality shortcomings of traditional Chinese medicine requires strengthening technological research and development, standardizing cultivation practices, and achieving breakthroughs at every stage. To improve the quality of traditional Chinese medicine, it is also necessary to start from key production links to achieve full-process traceability.
Currently, water extraction or alcohol extraction processes are commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine extraction, where solvents dissolve the active components, followed by filtration, concentration, and drying to obtain extracts or raw medicinal materials. The addition of organic solvents during extraction may affect the active ingredients, causing loss of original efficacy, increasing production costs, and polluting the environment. For example, the alcohol precipitation process has a high loss rate of active ingredients, involves alcohol recovery, and requires high environmental standards.
Chongqing Jiahe Filtration Technology Co., Ltd.'s membrane separation and purification technology for traditional Chinese medicine: ultrafiltration precision ensures high clarity and efficacy of the filtrate; room-temperature, low-energy concentration and dehydration avoid thermal damage to efficacy. The energy consumption for removing 1 ton of water or recovering 1 ton of ethanol is only 15%-20% of that of thermal concentration. For example, 20kg of extract can be purified and concentrated to about 2kg of concentrate, significantly reducing investment in thermal concentration equipment and energy costs.
Membrane separation technology features no phase change, no pollution, and no residue, with high filtration precision and low impurity content, improving the purity and quality of traditional Chinese medicine products.
