[Objective] To study the influence of different processing methods to the quality of Cynanchum paniculatum, (Bge.) Kitaga. [Methods] To carry out comparing test of different drying and cleaning methods for Cynanchum paniculatum (Bge.) Kitaga. For comparing test of different drying methods, the content of paeonol, the active ingredient, was used as index to evaluate the effects of different processing technics on medicinal material quality. [Results] The drug quality can't be declined after the drug is washed quickly. Oven drying at low temperature is superior to traditional drying method. [Conclusions] The optimum processing method in producing area is that the drug is washed quickly, then drying by oven at the temperature gradient of 40↠50↠60 °C. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
