Objective:
The stability of resveratrol in Rhizoma Polygoni Cuspidati is evaluated all-roundly.
Methods:
We not only increase influence intensity by physical, chemical and biological methods but also parallel analyzing the influence results to elicit the opinions.
Results:
The content of resveratrol is declied greatly by lighting, heating, wet-heating or oxidizing. The content is increased in Rhizoma Polygoni Cuspidati treated with acid or alkali only using sodium hydroxide until pH=11. The content is not increased when its own activated microbe is destroyed.
Conclusion:
Resveratrol is unstable against light, heat, wet-heating and oxidizer. Its own activated microbe has not influenced to it. It has not benefit with acidification. Its solubility and stability increase formed sodium salt with basification.

Stability of Substituted Cyclohexanes
The two chair conformations of cyclohexanes undergo rapid interconversion at room temperature. Both forms have identical energies and stabilities, each comprising equal amounts of the equilibrium mixture. Replacing a hydrogen atom with a functional group makes the two conformations energetically non-equivalent.
For example, in...
