Diospyros kaki

Background

Chinese Name (pinyin): Shidi

Chinese Name  :

Common Name  :Kaki Calyx

Specific Name  : Calyx Kaki

Scientific Name:
Collection  : The drug is collected in winter when the fruit is ripe, wash clean and dried in the sun

Description  : Oblate, 1.5-2.5cm in diameter, relatiely thick in the middle, slightly prominent with a rounded scar of fruit fallen off and somewhat thin at the edge, 4-lobed, the lobes frequently reflexed, easily broken. A fruit stalk or a pitted scar fruit stalk remained at the base. Outer surface yellowish-brown or reddish-brown, inner surface yellowish brown, densely covered with fine pubescences. Hard and fragile texture, odorless, taste astringent.

Identification  : To 2g of the powder add 10ml of 70% ethanol, warmly macerate for 2 hours, filter, evaporate the filtrate to dryness, dissolve the residue in 1ml of methanol and use as the test solution. Dissolve Gallic acid CRS in methanol to produce a solution containing 0.5mg per ml as the reference solution. Carry out the method for thin layer chromatography (Appendix Vl B), using silica gel G containing sodium carboxymethylcellulose as the coating substance and toluence (saturated with water) methyl for- mate-formic acid (5:4:1) as the mobile phase. Apply separately 5µl of test solution and 2µl of the reference solution to the plate. After developing and removal of the plate, dry it in the air, spray with 1% solution of ferric chloride in ethanol. A spot in the chromatogram obtained with the test solution corresponds in the color and position to the spot in the chromatogram obtained with the reference solution.

Processing  : eliminate foreign matter, wash clean, remove the stalk, dry and brak to pieces.

Action  : To check the upward flow of the stomach qi.

Indication  : hiccup

Precautions  :

Dosage  : 4.5 to 9 g.

Storage  : Preserve in a ventilated and dry place, protected from moth.
