[Research strategy for homogenization feeding of Chinese patent medicines]

Chinese patent medicine constitutes a vital segment of the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) industry and stands as a significant emblem of TCM modernization. At present, the quality stability between batches of Chinese patent medicine preparations has become a pivotal factor directly restricting the high-quality development of the TCM industry. Consequently, addressing the homogeneity of Chinese patent medicines, this paper proposes a research scheme of homogenization feeding. It systematically elaborates on the object and pretreatment of homogenization, operational procedures of homogenization feeding, selection of homogenization evaluation indices, homogenization feeding algorithm, and homogenization feeding process. With the key quality control indicators as the homogenization target, the homogenization feeding process and its quality analysis were discussed. Finally, a demonstration strategy for homogenization feeding of Chinese patent medicine was formed, providing the scientific basis for advancing the research of quality consistency across batches of Chinese patent medicine preparations.
