Drying of Cistanche deserticola

In the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Cistanche deserticola, as an extremely precious medicinal herb, has always attracted much attention. Its unique growing environment imbues it with rich medicinal value. However, traditional drying methods easily lead to the loss of effective components during the drying process, and may also affect its original color and shape, thus reducing its market value. Therefore, exploring and applying advanced and scientific drying processes is crucial for the Cistanche deserticola industry.

Jinlu Machinery’s professional dryers have meticulously designed a two-stage drying process specifically for the characteristics of Cistanche deserticola. The first stage is a low-temperature color-fixing stage, where the temperature is precisely controlled at 60 degrees Celsius for 6 hours. During this process, the internal moisture of the Cistanche deserticola slowly evaporates, while perfectly locking in various nutrients, ensuring that the medicinal value of Cistanche deserticola is not compromised. The second stage then raises the temperature to 65 degrees Celsius and maintains it for 4 hours. This step is mainly to thoroughly dry the Cistanche deserticola, achieving the optimal degree of dryness for storage and subsequent processing. This meticulous drying process maximizes both the quality and medicinal efficacy of Cistanche deserticola.
