Abstract

OBJECTIVES: As a common step in the herbal medicine production process, percolation usually lacks effective process monitoring methods and is often conducted with fixed process parameters. In this study, an in-line ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy was used for monitoring the Caulis Sinomenii percolation process.
