Abstract

|
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to determine the impurity tolerance of Zanthoxylum Peel.
Methods: Compare with medicinal Herb Books and the Pharmacopoeia of 6 nations.
Results: Current Pharmacopoeia show different Zanthoxylum Peel¡¯s Purity, such as 2.0% of seeds and fruit stalk, etc. in North Korea, 2% of seeds in Vietnam, totally 3% in China. On the other hand, Korea and Japan set the total number 26.0% including the specific numbers such as 20.0% of seeds, 5.0% of fruit stalk, 1.0% of the other foreign matter. This Zanthoxylum Peel¡¯s Purity, 26.0%, is too high compared to that of other medical matters specified by The Korean Pharmacopoeia Ninth Edition. When The Japanese Pharmacopoeia Sixth Edition firstly set the Zanthoxylum Peel¡¯s Purity, the herbal name was Fructus. However, since the part for medical usage in origin is well-ripen pericarp, not seed, the permissible level, 30.0%, is supposed to be simple error range, 3.0%.
Conclusions: As a result, I think bills concerning the Zanthoxylum Peel¡¯s Purity should be revised to the total number 3.0% or specifically set the level 2.0% of seeds, 1.0% of fruit stalk, twig and so on.
