Abstract

Starch, one of the most important natural carbohydrates in human diet, is widely distributed in plants and is particularly abundant in multitudes of traditional medicines, for instance, Dioscoreae Rhizoma, Notoginseng Radix et, Curcumae Rhizoma, Alismatis Rhizoma, Trichosanthis Radix and Moutan Cortex. During the isolation of active components in Traditional Chinese Medicine, starch was discarded which cause great waste. Systematical researches and summaries are absent about how starch in Traditional Chinese Medicine could be used. Herein, characteristics of resistant starch as excipients and adjuvants elaborated systematically based on ‘the unification of medicines and excipients’ in Traditional Chinese Medicine preparations. As functions of resistant starch provided in this paper, there are great application potentials of starch in Traditional Chinese Medicine and some waste was hoped to be avoid in future.
