摘要:

中药材鉴别是保证药材质量与药效的关键环节,对中药材进行真伪、产地、年份、掺假等鉴别,是确保药材质量保障药效的可靠手段。目前,传统药材鉴定方法难以满足对药材质量精准把控的需求。太赫兹(Terahertz, THz)技术凭借其无需复杂样品预处理、检测迅速等特点,在中药材鉴别中极具潜力。太赫兹技术在中药材成分组成等物理化学特性的检测方面具有独特优势,能够反映药材质量,助力中药材鉴别。本文综述了太赫兹技术在中药材鉴别方面的应用进展,并对其在中药领域的发展前景进行了展望。

Abstract:

Authentication of Traditional Chinese medicinal (TCM) materials—verifying their authenticity, geographical origin, age, and adulterants—serves as a crucial step and reliable means to ensure herb quality and maintain therapeutic efficacy. Currently, traditional authentication methods for medicinal materials is often insufficient to meet the demands for precise quality control. Terahertz technology, with its advantages such as requiring no complex sample pretreatment and enabling rapid detection, shows great potential in TCM materials authentication. The technology offers unique benefits in analyzing the physicochemical properties of medicinal herbs (e.g., component composition), which can reflect the herb quality and aid in their authentication. In this paper, we review the progress in the application of terahertz technology for authenticating TCM materials and prospects its development in the field.in the authentication of traditional Chinese medicinal materials and prospects its development in the field of traditional Chinese medicine.
