OBJECTIVE To op timize the i ntegrated technology of producing area processing and decoction pieces processing of Curcuma longa （hereinafter refer to “integrated technology ”）. METHODS The content of ethanol-soluble extract in C. longa was determined by hot leaching method ；the contents of curcumin ，demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin were determined by high performance liquid chromatography. On the basis of identification of producing area processing technology ， Using overall desirability （OD） value of the contents of ethanol-soluble extract ， curcumin， demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin as evaluation indexes ，moisture content ，slice thickness and drying temperature as factors ，the integrated technology of C. longa was optimized by single factor tests combined with central composite design-response surface method ，and the validation tests were conducted. At the same time ，prepared product was compared with traditional decoction pieces prepared according to 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia （part Ⅰ）. RESULTS The best integrated technology was that the fresh C. longa was boiled in boiling water for 5 min，dried at 50 ℃ to 40％ water content ，cut into 2 mm thin slices ，and dried at 50 ℃ until moisture content not exceeding 15.0％. After validation ，The deviation between the average OD value （0.811 3，RSD＝2.13％） and the predicted value （0.848 1）of the contents of ethanol-soluble extract ，curcumin，demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin was 4.34％. OD value of the contents of ethanol-soluble extract ，curcumin，demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin in decoction pieces prepared by integrated technology were all higher than those prepared by traditional technology. CONCLUSIONS The process optimized in this study is simple ，stable and feasible.
