Abstract

Objective: To build a new processing procedure for Croton tiglium, providing a more simple, efficient and safe way of processing.

Methods: Used the contents of isoguanosine and toxic protein in Croton tiglium as the indexes to investigate the effect of different temperature, thickness and baked time on processing for Croton tiglium. After established all factors and levels, processed a batch of Croton tiglium under optimum processing conditions and compared it with raw Croton tiglium in the test of acute toxicity and gastrointestinal propulsive motility.

Results: The parameters of optimum processing were as follows:the temperature was set at 180 degrees C, the thickness of placement was 3 cm and baked time was 90 min. The LD50 value of raw Croton tiglium and the processed Croton tiglium was 888 mg/kg and 2139 mg/kg respectively.

Conclusion: The processing procedure is simple, affordable, safe and efficient, deserved to promote for application.
