brief introduction | artemisinin brain widely exists in inflorescences, branches and leaves, stems, fruits, seeds and other parts of plants, especially in some Chinese herbal medicines and spice plants with high content. Fennel calamus, tooth leaf yellow skin, geranium calamus, green Sichuan pepper, purple basil, sparse hair basil, agastache, fish vanilla, etc. are important resources with good development and utilization prospects. |
application | Artemisia annua is one of the important activities of Chinese herbal medicine plants and one of the main spice components in some important spice plant essential oils. it has been widely used in medicine, pesticides, food additives and fine chemicals that require its biological activity and has a good prospect. At present, it is widely used in spice, food and beverage industries. |
content analysis | method 1 is to determine the methoxy content according to the GT-14 method, and then calculate according to the following formula: artemisinin brain (%)= methoxy content (%)× 148.2/31.03 method 2 is to be determined according to the polar column method in the GT-10-4. |
toxicity | ADI has not yet been specified (FAO/WHO,1994). GRAS(FEMA). |
