Outline
Duzhongye (Eucommiae Folium), as a medicinal herb with dual food and medicinal properties, exerts functions such as nourishing the liver and kidneys, strengthening tendons and bones, alleviating aches and pains, and enhancing mental focus and vital energy. Modern fermentation technology, integrated with microbiology and modern biotechnology, enables precise regulation of the fermentation process to efficiently produce fermentation products. In recent years, modern fermentation technology has been extensively applied in Chinese medicine. Fermentation can enhance or modify the therapeutic effects of herbal medicines, reduce toxicity, and broaden their clinical applications. Based on the current research status of Eucommiae Folium fermentation, this paper reviews fermentation methods, microbial strain selection, fermentation processes, and pharmacological effects. It aims to provide a reference for further in-depth research and development of Eucommiae Folium fermentation.
