Abstract

Objective : Mu-yi (蕪荑, Ulmi Semen Pasta) is the fermented product of the seeds of Ulmus macrocarpa Hance (Ulmaceae) or other species of Ulmus genus mixed with adjuvant materials. The medicinal origin and preparing method of Ulmi Semen Pasta are different from those in the past literature. Therefore, medicinal origin of Ulmi Semen Pasta and its preparation method were investigated by literature study. Methods : The classic and contemporary literatures from Korea, China, and Japan regarding to Ulmi Semem Pasta were searched to find the time-based changes of Ulmi Semen Pasta preparation and its origin. Results : The fruit or seed of U. macrocarpa has been medicinally used as Mu-yi (蕪荑) or Mu-yi-in (蕪荑仁) respectively in Korea, China, and Japan until early in 20th century. However, from the middle of the 20th century, the fermentation was performed in medicinal preparation of the fruit or seed of U. macrocarpa mixed with various adjuvant materials such as clay, Chrysanthmi Flos, Ulmi Cortex, etc. The roles or evidences of those adjuvant materials have not been clearly explained, which could not guarantee the consistent quality of Ulmi Semen Pasta. Conclusion : Current preparation method of Ulmi Semen Pasta have challenges in terms of quality maintenance, standardization, and marketing. Therefore, it is suggested that apparent evidence of current preparation method should be established or intact botanical part (seed or fruit) could be used as medicinal part.
