OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for the rapid identification of Xiangsha pingwei pill(watered pill) from different manufacturers. METHODS: Near-infared spectroscopic method was conducted to collect the infrared spectroscopy of 95 batches of Xiangsha pingwei pill(watered pill) from 5 manufacturers, first derivative was combined with vector normalization to analyze the spectral data, mathematical models were established and validated. RESULTS: When the CI value was 5.6, the established model can identify samples from Li Shizhen Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd. quickly,the model was validated to be achievable; and when the CI value was 4.7, the established model can identify Samples from Jinma Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. in Shangqiu city quickly,the model was validated to be achievable. CONCLUSIONS: The method is convenient, rapid and non-destructive, and can identify different Xiangsha pingwei pill(watered pill) from different manufacturers quickly.
