<

There are many varieties of plant herbs and they are of different natures. Contains many substances such as starch, fat, carbohydrates and proteins, which can easily deteriorate, rancid and lose flavor when exposed to high temperatures. Some contain volatile oils, which are easily discolored, odoriferous, and go oily under the influence of temperature, humidity, oxygen, and light; The amount of sugar is high, and it is easy to get rid of bad quality after absorbing moisture. Therefore, after harvest, different methods should be adopted for storage according to their different conditions. Flowers and leaves (stems) can be wrapped in 2 to 3 layers of packing paper into a pillow shape, placed in a large cylinder filled with quicklime (1/3 of the total capacity), tightly packed, and filled with alum powder between the gaps. Cover 1~2 layers of kraft paper, put a cotton washer along the cylinder mouth, tightly seal the cylinder head to prevent moisture from entering. Such medicinal materials as fruits and seeds should not be stored in high-temperature places and should be placed in ceramic, glass or metal containers and placed in a cool, dry, dark place. Volatile oils are preferably packaged in double-layer non-toxic plastic film, and a small amount of quick lime, alum or dried sawdust, husks, etc. are placed in the sandwich and then stored in a dry, ventilated, and dark place. Starch is preferably packaged in a double-layer, non-toxic plastic film bag, and the air is squeezed out. The bag is sealed and placed in a container containing quicklime, alum or dried sawdust, chaff, and the like. Such medicines containing sugars should be fully dried, packed in double-layer non-toxic plastic film bags, tightly packed, placed in ceramic jars (tanks, cans), sealed and stored in dry and ventilated places, and should be in containers. Put some quick lime, alum or dried sawdust, chaff, etc. to prevent moisture.
