摘要
The valuable Chinese medicinal materials (VCMM) have significantly curative effects. Due to its limited production and high price, the adulterants are frequently found in the market, which arouse seriously affects in clinical application. The quality of traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) is the guarantee of clinical efficacy. Nowadays, there are lots of common approaches used in the evaluation of the quality of TCMs, such as physical and chemical examination, thin-layer chromatography, gas chromatography, liquid chromatography, etc. These methods guarantee the quality reliability of TCM. However, these detection methods also have several limitations, which are mainly reflected as follow: it required some pretreatments or destructive analyses of samples, professional equipment or detection methods, a long detection time and skillful technicians, etc. Therefore, a rapid, non-destructive, high-throughput technology is getting more attention in the quality evaluation of TCMs, especially the spectroscopy detection technology represented by near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy has been widely applied. This paper aims to summarize the latest research progress of NIR on VCMM from the perspectives of authenticity identification, species identification, determination of index components, and comprehensive quality evaluation and predict its prospect. ? 2022 Editorial Office of Chinese Traditional and Herbal Drugs.
