| Abstract |
Recently, many storing methods were applied to keep quality of herb medicines during storage. Among of them, we tried to research a method to store after dissolving remaining harmful bacillus and agricultural chemicals of herb medicines. We confirmed that ozone processing is superior at the sterilization of bacteria and virus from the leading research about ozone generator, and then we made research method to apply with the sterilization and storing processing of herb medicines using ozone (OPS). In this study we chose herb medicines of 4 kinds which have been sold much in the market, evaluated the characteristics. Namely, we used ozone lamp in a storage system, and investigated the sterilization characteristic of herb medicines. We executed a quantitative analysis of the general ingredient and the physiological activity ingredient to investigate whether the original ingredient and the quality of herb medicines is preserved, after doing an ozone and storing processing for a long term. |
