Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate sulfur dioxide in herb drugs.(Puerariae Radix, Lycii Fructus, Platycodi Radix, Dioscoreae Rhizoma, Mori Radicis Cortex, Nelumbo Seed, Paeoniae Radix, Remotiflori Radix, Astragali Radix, Polygonatum Rhizome) Experimental subjects included 105 cases of 10 species of herb drugs collected in Kyung-dong market from December in 2001 to February in 2002. Sulfur dioxide was determined by Optimized Monier-Wiliams method. In 65 cases(61.9%) of the 105 cases, we detected $SO_2$ over 10mg/kg. (omitted)
