Abstract:Lycium barbarum is food and nutritious Chinese medicinal material, and its medicinal use began in Shen Nong′s Herbal Classic. Lycium barbarum contains many components such as Lycium barbarum polysaccharide, Lycium barbarum medlar flavonoids, vitamins, trace elements, amino acids, etc., and has high medicinal value and nutritional value. With the deepening of the quality evaluation research, it was found that different germplasm, producing area, harvesting time and processing method had significant influence on the appearance, morphological characteristics and nutrient content of Lycium barbarum. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, high performance liquid chromatography, NOSE, DNA and other technologies are applied to the identification and fingerprinting of Lycium barbarum, which can quickly distinguish its origin and variety. A variety of new technologies and methods have been applied to the quantitative detection of active ingredients such as Lycium barbarum polysaccharides, betaines, flavones, carotene, organic acids, vitamins, and trace elements. The detection of organochlorine and organophosphorus pesticide residues in Lycium barbarum has improved the safety evaluation level. These related research results provide a valuable reference for the improvement of the quality standard of Lycium barbarum and the in-depth development of the industry.
