RESEARCH ON ANATOMICAL CHARACTERISTICS, CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF HOANG LIEN, HOANG BA

Abstract

Hoang Lien and Hoang Ba are easily distinguished by senses when they are intact but when they are crushed into powder, the discrimination is difficult. Therefore, the research was carried out with the aim of distinguishing Hoang Lien, Hoang ba by microscopic and chemical methods. The study has described the sensory characteristics, anatomical, microscopic characteristics and preliminary qualitative chemical composition of the Royalist and Hoang Lien medicinal herbs. These characteristics correspond to the characteristics described in the Pharmacopoeia of Vietnam V. Based on the research results, two research samples can be distinguished based on anatomical and chemical characteristics. Especially when grinding these two samples into powder still distinguishes based on mucus-containing cells of Hoang ba.
