Abstract
This paper investigates the effects of irradiation technology on the major components of Panax notoginseng (Sanqi) herbal medicine. Irradiation technology, particularly 60Co-γ irradiation, has been widely used as an effective sterilization method in food and pharmaceutical processing. In the field of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), irradiation technology has demonstrated unique advantages, effectively eliminating microbial contamination while preserving the main components and therapeutic efficacy of TCM. This paper first introduces the basic principles of irradiation technology and its current research status in TCM processing, then analyzes the major components and pharmacological effects of Panax notoginseng, and finally assesses the impact of irradiation on these components, emphasizing its effectiveness and safety in maintaining medicinal efficacy.
