Abstract
Take about 2 g of Danshen granules or chips (with diameter not more than 3 mm), precisely weighed, and place in a weighing bottle that has been dried to a constant weight; then dry it at 105 °C for 5 h before transferring to a desiccator to cool for 30 min. Precisely weigh and then dry at the above temperature for 1 h; cool, and weigh until the difference between two continuous weights is not more than 5 mg. Calculate the moisture content in the test product based on the lost weight.
