Effects of different boiling processes on chemical compositions of Lilii Bulbus soup

Abstract

Lilii Bulbus, an edible Chinese herbal medicine, has a long history in medicine. However, research on effectively boiling Lilii Bulbus is rare. To make the more nutritious Lilii Bulbus soup, the optimized boiling process, using an alternate heating mode by decoction pot carrying a mixture of water and Chinese liquor at the ration of 9:1, was established in this study. Compared to the soup prepared by the daily process, the polysaccharide amount improved by 54%, and the total heavy metals decreased by 33.5% using the optimized boiling process. In addition, the total saponins at 34.3 μg/g were determined in the soup prepared by the optimized process. Meanwhile, the colchicine content in the boiled Lilii Bulbus soup was undetectable using the optimized process. This research performs an optimized boiling process for making Lilii Bulbus soup, and provides a reference for generating high commercial value from Lilii Bulbus soup in the future.

High-throughput screening and quantification of pesticides in Lilii Bulbus using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry

“…These components have various clinical benefits, such as relieving cough and asthma, reducing blood sugar levels, and enhancing immunity. 1 Chinese materia medica refers to raw materials extracted from natural substances, such as plants, animals, minerals, and chemical drugs, that possess medicinal value. In traditional Chinese medicine, Chinese materia medica is widely used to treat a broad range of diseases and promote health, making a significant contribution to human well-being.…”

“…They are also a significant components of our nutrition and are frequently utilized as functional food 3 . Baihe contains several bioactive compounds with anti-tumor properties [4][5][6] . For instance, pure lily polysaccharides increase macrophage phagocytosis, splenocyte proliferation, and cytokine (TNF-, IL-2, IL-6, and IL-12) production while dramatically inhibiting Lewis's lung cancer development and transplanted melanoma 7 .…”
