In the study of the scientific Chinese medicine, it is expected to open the scientific Chinese medicine, avoiding too much mold and causing deterioration. The Chinese herbal decoction is dehydrated and dried to facilitate subsequent processing of 1% dry powder or pellets and bowls. At present, the dehydration and drying method of scientific Chinese medicine is nothing more than high temperature plus demon drying, or vacuum low temperature freeze drying two kinds of & ^ gel processing methods, but the equipment cost required for the above two methods is quite high 'heating drying method is likely It will cause the active ingredients in Chinese herbal medicine to be destroyed, resulting in the deterioration of the efficacy of the scientific Chinese medicines produced. However, the cold-drying method usually requires vacuuming and is carried out in a very low temperature environment (about shoulder C), so it will be quite Energy consumption, therefore, the use of herbal decoction dehydration and drying methods before the system is indeed necessary to improve. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The purpose of iUli' is to provide a dehydration and concentration method for a low-cost herbal broth. The method for dehydrating and concentrating the Chinese herbal medicine decoction of the present invention comprises the following steps: Ka) placing the Chinese herbal decoction in a low temperature 201235035 environment sufficient to cause water molecules to condense into ice; (b) gradually condensing water molecules in the Chinese herbal medicine decoction Forming solid ice crystals, causing the Chinese herbal medicine component to be separated from the water molecules forming the ice crystal; and (c) filtering and removing the ice crystals produced in the step (b) to prepare a low-moisture herbal extract. The effect of the invention: by setting the Chinese herbal medicine decoction in a low temperature environment for icing, so that the water molecules gradually form ice crystals and separating from the traditional Chinese medicine components, the majority of the water in the Chinese herbal medicine field agent can be removed to prepare the water content. Low-medium herbal extracts have low processing costs and no thermal deterioration. [Embodiment] The foregoing and other technical contents, features, and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the accompanying drawings. Before the description, it is to be noted that in the following description, similar elements are denoted by the same reference numerals. As shown in FIG. 1 to 3, the first preferred embodiment of the method for dehydrating and concentrating the Chinese herbal medicine decoction of the present invention is suitable for removing most of the water of the Chinese herbal medicine decoction 8 ,, and processing the Chinese herbal remedy 800 into Low-moisture herbal herbal extract 600, the Chinese herbal decoction 8〇〇 refers to a water-liquid decoction prepared by soaking or other methods of Chinese herbal medicine, such as Xiaochaihu decoction, Guizhi plus peony soup, Liuweidi Huang Wan...etc. can use the 'supplied" medicinal decoctions, which are not listed one by one. The dehydration method comprises the following steps: Step (1) cryogenic freezing. The herbal decoction 8 欲 which is to be dehydrated is placed in a pharmaceutical container H 3 , and the drug container 3 is placed in a low temperature environment sufficient for the water molecules to condense into ice, so that the Chinese herbal medicine decoction 8 〇〇 The water molecule 201235035 began to freeze. In the present embodiment, the drug container 3 is a glass bottle, and the low temperature environment refers to 〇~-1 (rc environment, which is used in this embodiment, but is not limited in this implementation. Step (2) stirring to produce ice crystals 80 Bu in the Chinese herbal medicine decoction 8 〇〇 appeared icy after seeing with a blender 4 gradually fluttering icing in the Chinese herbal decoction, prompting the Chinese herbal medicine Tang Qi 1 800 water molecules gradually condensed into ice crystals 8 (H, due to water When the knife is frozen and forms ice crystals, it will exclude the Chinese herbal ingredients of the Chinese herbal medicine decoction 8 〇〇 outside the ice crystal 801, so that the water molecules in the 8 中 Chinese herbal medicine decoction can be formed into ice crystal 801. Gradually separate from the Chinese herbal medicine ingredients, and through continuous stirring, avoid the ice crystal 801 further combined into large ice cubes, reduce the amount of Chinese herbal medicine ingredients coated in the ice crystal 801, until the original Chinese herbal medicine soup 800 becomes the ice crystal 8〇1 and the paste A smooth-shaped mixture composed of thick materials, wherein the 'ice crystal 801 particle control range is between 3 and l〇mm, as for the whole cold; the east stirring time can be determined according to the 800 volume of the Chinese herbal medicine decoction and the dehydration concentration ratio. ) In addition to the ice crystal 801, the above-mentioned smooth-sand mixture is placed in a filter container 5, and filtered with a mesh of 51 〇 5 〇 mesh, the pores of the sieve 51 are much smaller than the ice crystal size of 〇1, but sufficient The paste-like thick material is passed through. In the present embodiment, when the ice crystal 801 is filtered, the ice-sand mixture is placed on the screen 51, and then the inside of the filter container 5 is evacuated. The inner space 50 of the filter container 5 located below the screen 51 generates a vacuum suction force, whereby the vacuum-like suction attracts the paste-like thick substance in the smooth-sand mixture on the top side of the screen 51 downward through the sieve The net is 5丨, and then the paste-like thick substance is separated from the ice crystal 801, and the dehydrated herbal extract is obtained 600, 201235035, and the first dehydration and concentration treatment of the Chinese herbal decoction 800 is completed. For the water content of the extract 350, consider whether to repeat the above steps (1) to (3), so as to remove more water. Since the way of filtering the ice crystal 801 is a conventional technique, and the manner is numerous, the details are not detailed. Said, and when implemented, filter The method of removing the ice crystals 8〇1 is not limited thereto. As shown in Fig. 4, in the foregoing step (2), the present embodiment tests the four kinds of Chinese herbal medicine decoctions 800 respectively, and the Chinese herbal medicine decoctions 8〇 The concentration ratio of Chinese herbal medicines in the smooth-sand mixture produced by the Chinese herbal medicines 800, such as Xiaochaihutang, Guizhijiaoyutang, Liuweidihuangwan and Maimendongtang, is about 60~80%. As the temperature of the ice crystals is increased by the freezing and stirring, when the temperature is cold, the longer the beam (four) is, the more the amount of ice crystals is formed, and the relative proportion of the herbal ingredients in the smooth-sand mixture is relatively different. As shown in Fig. 5, the step (2) gives the ice crystals that are produced by the mixing: the size of the saint, and the image of the Chinese herbal medicine in the subsequent transition after the transition of the herbal medicine extract _ the larger the ice crystal 801 A lot of herbal ingredients are blocked by ice crystal 801 and cannot be released, and they will be formed. The herbal ingredients of the herbal extract 600 are too low. It has been found through experiments that when the ice crystal size is more than 10 mm, there will be nearly 7〇0 00 /〇 above the Zhongzhuo drug component with the ice crystal 8〇1 - from being filtered out'. The filtering rate in Figure 5 When it reaches 1%, it means all _: Lecheng: All: The skin ice is sealed in the ice crystal 801 and cannot be released, so it is all removed. And ¥ ice crystal 801 capsule control association q in. ΛΛ "at 3 ~ 10mm" after the removal of Chinese herbal medicine containing Chinese herbal ingredients up to the original Chinese herbal decoction 8 〜 ~ that is, only about 2G ~ 3G% The Chinese herbal medicine ingredients were sealed in ice crystal 201235035 801 and filtered out. As shown in Table 1, during the stirring time of 120~180 minutes, the ice crystal 801 particle size " at 3 10 mm, Xiaochaihu Tang 'Guizhi plus peony soup, The recovery ratio of Chinese herbal medicine ingredients of Liuwei Dihuang Pills and Maimendong Decoction, which are made into Chinese herbal extracts, can reach more than 70%. __ _ Chinese herbal medicines recovery ratio (%) 6 9~74 % __ t The water content of the 6-in-one herbal extract can be quite low, which can be as low as 25~30%. Therefore, when the _ Herbal Extract 6GG is completely dried, it is dried into a dry powder. In the case of the form, the herbal extract can be directly placed in a room temperature environment, and the natural: air drying method is used for drying. If the heat is dried, the water content is already low, so only a lower temperature is required. (about 45~6Gt) heating temperature, ^ can greatly shorten heating and drying , in turn, greatly reduce the chance of heat metamorphism of Chinese herbal ingredients. If it is to be further processed into a herbal extract, make a pill or a lozenge in a low water content of 3, so when mixing with excipients, The water molecules in Zhongcao Le Stream Extract _ will also be dehydrated and dehydrated again to reach a dry powder form, which is quite convenient. Through the above, the Chinese herbal medicine decoction is continuously granted during the icing process. In a way, the Chinese herbal medicine component can be gradually separated from the water molecules formed into ice crystals, and the Chinese herbal medicine extract having a low water content can be produced after the ice crystals are removed, so that the Chinese herbal medicine powder can be continuously dried to form a Chinese herbal medicine powder or shaped. The mixture of the ingredients is made into a pill or a key agent, and the recovered amount of the herbal extract of the Chinese herbal medicine is up to about 70%. In addition, because the whole dehydration and concentration process is in the low temperature (〇~_i(rc) environment 201235035 wide It can ensure that the ingredients of the medicine will not occur: the formula can also be dried at normal temperature or dried at low temperature. The equipment used for dehydration and concentration is quite simple, and only provides the low level of ~~ order: material '(4) The county and energy consumption of the concentration method are significantly lower than the conventional heating drying method and the vacuum low temperature cold drying method. As shown in the general drawings 6, 7, and 8, the second preferred embodiment of the dehydrating method of the Chinese herbal medicine decoction of the present invention The difference in the first embodiment is that the present embodiment does not perform the stirring process in the icing process. In the present embodiment, the dehydration concentration method comprises the following steps: Step (1) Insulation treatment. The Rongshang has a Chinese herbal decoction 8 〇〇 The medicament container 3 is disposed in a heat insulating environment 9qi made of a heat insulating material, and only a part of the drug container 3 is exposed outside the heat insulating environment. In the embodiment, the heat insulating environment 9〇1 is insulated by a heat insulating environment. The container 9〇2 is configured to have a lateral opening, and the drug container 3 is housed in the heat insulating container 9G2 such that the top side, the bottom side and most of the outer circumference side Both of them are covered by the heat-insulating container 902, and only the outer peripheral side of the drug container 3 is exposed to the opening of the heat-insulating container 902, that is, most of the portion of the drug container 3 is thermally insulated. Only part of the outer peripheral side is exposed to the heat 901 Xi Bu environment. For convenience of explanation, the local portion of the right half of the drug container 3 is exposed as an example for description. Step (2) Local low temperature cold; East. Next, the low temperature environment 9 is provided on the right side of the container 3 exposed outside the thermal insulation environment 901. In this embodiment, the low temperature airflow 9Q3 is provided to the right side of the (4) container 3, and the temperature of the low temperature airflow 903 is 0. °C, since the other parts of the drug container 3 have been thermally insulated in 201235035 and cannot exchange heat with the external environment, the Chinese herbal decoction 800 will only start to cool down from the low temperature side of the vicinity of the drug container 3. And gradually condensed into ice' and the formed ice block 8〇2 will gradually expand to the left. Based on the characteristics that the water molecules will be excluded from the ice crystals when they freeze, the water molecules will gradually condense into ice cubes 802 on the right half of the drug container 3, so that most of the herbal ingredients are concentrated in The ice cube 8 〇 2 on the left side of the drug container 3 'to form a low water content herbal extract 3.5 〇〇. The time required for cryopreservation can be adjusted according to 800 volumes of Chinese herbal decoction, the outer surface area of the medicament 1 § 3 exposed, and the temperature of the applied low temperature air stream. Step (3) removes ice 802 and ice crystal 801. When the ice cube 802 in the medicament container 3 is accumulated to a predetermined amount, the medicament container 3 is taken out of the insulated container 902, and the ice cube 8〇2, the ice crystal 8〇1 and the Chinese herbal medicine flow in the medicament container 3 are The mixture of the second paste 600 is poured into a filter container (not shown). In the filtration step according to the above-mentioned first embodiment, after the ice cube 802 and the ice crystal 801 are removed, the low water content can be collected. Herbal extract is 6 流. The table shows that the Chinese herbal medicines such as Xiaochaihutang, Guizhijiaoyutang, Liuwei Dihuangwan and Maimen Winter Farm are lyophilized and dehydrated. More than 7〇%, the dehydration rate can reach more than 75%', so the water content of Chinese herbal extracts 6〇〇 is quite low. And only the inspection of the cold lingda - after the scheduled time, will not continue to freeze, but in the drug container 3 will get ice 8 () 2, ice crystal 8 〇 1 and paste-like concentrated paste 'This Han thick paste body is especially filtered 'de-ice & 802 Xiao Bingjing 801 made of herbal extracts 6 〇〇. 201235035 Table 2 tb H Λ: X —^ ..
