Microscopic

Seed cross section

(1) Amomum villosum cross-section type square or similar rhombus. Peripheral microwave. A large number of aril skin cells, cell wall slightly curved. The seed coat should have a cell length of 50 μm, a diameter of 3 μm, an outer cuticle, and an epidermis. Contains mu brown pigment; oil cell 1 column. Extend tangentially. Contains oil; 4-5 columns of coloured cells. Extend tangentially. Will be brown or reddish brown wheat. The inner species is elongated in a column of thick-walled cells in a radial direction, cylindrical, 35 μm in length, and 25 μm in diameter. The outer wall is thin, the inner wall is extremely thick, non-wooden, and the cell contains silicon blocks. Exo-endosperm cells contain starch granules, cells of the near endosperm have multiple calcium lactate containing oxalic acid crystals, and endoderm cell husks are ambiguous. Embryonic cells contain powder particles and oil droplets.

(2) Green shell Amomum oval, peripheral microwave. The aril skin wall collapses and bends. Seed coat epidermal cells extend radially, oblong or wedge-shaped oval, up to 50μm, diameter to 35μm; epithelial cells containing red-brown pigments; pigment cells 3-4 columns, containing red-brown or yellow-brown pigment; The seed coat thick-walled cells are cylindrical, with a length of 32 μm and a diameter of 23 μm. The cells contain siliceous blocks.

Physical and chemical


TLC: Take the volatile oil from the product and add ethanol to make a solution containing 20 μl per 1 ml. The other reference substance of borneol acetate was added, and ethanol was added to make a solution containing 10 μl per 1 ml as a reference solution. 1 μl of each of the above two solutions was pipetted onto the same silica gel G plate, and cyclohexane-ethyl acetate (22:1) was used as a developing agent. The solution was developed, taken out, and dried, and sprayed with 5% vanillin sulfate. The solution was examined after hot air for several minutes. The chromatograms in the test sample showed the same purplish red spots in the positions corresponding to the chromatogram of the reference substance.

standard

(The People's Republic of China Pharmacopoeia) 1995 version stipulates that the Yangchun sand and green shell sand seed groups contain no less than 3.0% (ml/g) of volatile oil, and Hainan sand seed groups contain no less than 1.0% (ml/g) of volatile oil. The product contains no more than 15.0% moisture content.

Commodity specifications include domestic Amomum and imported Amomum.

(1) Homemade Amomum

1 Yangchun sand: regardless of grade, due to the processing of different sub-shell Amomum villosum and Amomum two.

2 green shell Amomum: regardless of grade.

3 Hainan Amomum: divided goods and one, two and other goods, but also because of the processing of different sub-shell Amomum and net Amomum two. Net sand first: The seed group is in the shape of a triangular ellipse or oval, and is divided into three lobes. There are about 10 seeds for each debate, and the seeds are full, within 50g, and 150 grains. Secondly, the seed group is smaller. Thin, 50 grams per 50g.

(2) The imported sand kernels are commonly referred to as “sanding”, sub-shell sand and original amomum. Mainly produced in Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, Indonesia and other places.

In addition to the above products, there are red shell Amomum villosum, its fruit spherical, with 3 obvious or inconspicuous blunt edge, length 0.9-1.8cm, diameter 0.7-1.4cm, surface brown or reddish-brown, stabbed Protuberances; each chamber contains 5-18 seeds, irregular polygonal polygons, 2-4mm long, 1-2.5mm in diameter. Gas incense, cool, slightly bitter. Mainly produced in Yunnan. Less used, some sold outside the province.


Cosmetic Grade Chemcial

Natural Field cosmetics raw material extracted from plants contain highly-pure and standardized active substances. They are mainly used to improve skin and hair health and appearance. The strong ingredients are: 5-Aminolevulinic acid, Idebenone, Chlorogenic acid, Polydatin. Etc.
Cosmetics are natural, synthetic or extracted various effects of different substances as raw materials, heating, stirring and emulsification and other production processes from the chemical mixture. It is a compound mixture of various raw materials after reasonable mixing and processing. The raw materials of cosmetics are various in variety and performance. According to the properties and USES of cosmetic materials, they can be divided into two categories: matrix materials and auxiliary materials.
The former is a kind of main raw material of cosmetics, which occupies a large proportion in the cosmetics formula and plays a major role in the cosmetics. The latter plays a role in shaping, stabilizing, or imparting color, fragrance, and other properties to cosmetics, which are not used in large amounts in cosmetic formulations but are extremely important.
