    AIOFM Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy Team Helps Develop Six Standards for Chinese Herbal Medicine Grades

    Six group standards for the commercial specifications and grades of Chinese herbal medicines, issued under the Anhui Provincial Association of Chinese Materia Medica, have been released. The team led by researcher Li Xiangxian at the Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics (AIOFM) was among the principal drafting units, covering Peucedanum root, Clinopodium herb, Atractylodes macrocephala root, Moutan bark, red peony root, and white peony root. The standards classify grades primarily by morphological characteristics and active ingredient content. The team applied the advantages of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy - rapid, nondestructive, and multicomponent detection - to the quality evaluation of Chinese herbal medicines, and demonstrated mid-infrared and portable near-infrared FTIR analyzers.
