Research progress on detection and risk assessment of exogenous heavy metals and related elements in Codonopsis Radix

doi:10.19803/j.1672-8629.20230370

Abstract

Abstract: Codonopsis Radix is widely used in traditional medicine, and its safety is the prerequisite for its effective role, while exogenous heavy metals and related elements are one of the main factors affecting its quality and application. Through risk assessment, the residual risk of exogenous heavy metals and related elements in Codonopsis Radix can be controlled. This study reviewed the research progress on the detection technology, residual situation and standard limits of exogenous heavy metals and related elements in Codonopsis Radix in recent years, and focused on the progress of risk assessment, in order to provide reference for the formulation of the limit standard, and also for the quality and safety evaluation.

Key words: Codonopsis Radix, heavy metals, detection technology, residual status, standard limit, risk assessment, safety evaluation
