Abstract:

To explore the best drying method and provide scientific basis for the production and processing of Dendrobium chrysanthum by comparing the effects of different drying methods of Dendrobium chrysanthum on its quality and antioxidant activity, the samples of Dendrobium chrysanthum were dried by sun-drying, drying in shade, microwave drying and hot air drying at different temperatures (50-90 ℃).UV-VIS spectrophotometry was used for measuring the total flavonid and polysaccharide of Dendrobium chrysanthum, 2,2-diphenyl-1-pierylhydrazyl (DPPH) and hydroxyl radical scavenging methods were used for evaluating the antioxidant capacity of Dendrobium chrysanthum extracts.The results showed that the sample dried at 70℃ had the highest content of extract(30.87%), and the sample dried by microwave had the highest content of total flavonoids(4.79%), and the sample dried in shade had the highest total polysaccharide content(7.85%). Drying in shade showed the strongest effect of antioxidant activity. DPPH clearance rate, hydroxyl radical clearance rate, and superoxide anion radical clearance rate all showed the highest values of 81.92%, 17.71% and 94.13% under the drying in shade. Experimental results showed that different drying methods hs an impact on the quality and free radical scavenging activity of Dendrobium officinale, and the impact was significant. The drying in shade of Dendrobium officinale is an optimal method for producing Dendrobium officinale. This study provides theoretical and technical guidance for the processing of Dendrobium officinale in the production area.

Key words: Dendrobium chrysanthum, flavonoid, polysaccharide, antioxidant capacity
