Abstract

Raw roots of Fallopia multiflora were processed according to the process by the Ministry of Health procedures (Circular 30/2017/C-MOH) and Vietnam Pharmacopoeia V (VP V). Samples were described sensory, determined moisture, total ash, powder screening, qualitative, and quantitative. Prepared Fallopia multiflora had the dark brown, the aroma, mild acrid taste. The components of Fallopia multiflora powder after processing noted several different characteristics such as the deformation, cluster of starch particles and the absence of spherical calcium oxalate crystals. The moisture content of the processed samples of Fallopia multiflora prescribed by the MOH and VP V was lower, while the total ash content of the processed medicinal samples was significantly higher compared to the raw sample. Quantitative analysis results recorded that the average total anthraquinone content in Fallopia multiflora prepared according to MOH and prepared according to VP V was 1.36 and 1.48 times lower than those of Fallopia multiflora. Furthermore, the antioxidant activity of the processed samples of Fallopia multiflora MOH and prepared according to VP V was lower compared to the raw samples.
