Objective: For the first time, the fermentation conditions of Massa Medicata Fermentata were optimized by response surface methodology (RSM) accroding to amylase enzyme activity.
Methods: Firstly, a series of single factor experiments were done which included the amount of Adzuki beans, fermentation time and fermentation temperature. The Box-Behnken design was used to optimize fermentation conditions. Design-Expert V8.0.6.1 was used to analysis regression model.
Results: The optimum fermentation conditions were determined as follows: the amount of nitrogen source 2.6 g/100 g wheat bran and wheat flour, fermentation temperature 32 °C and fermentation time 3 days. By comparing prediction value and experimental value, it was found that relative error of their enzyme activity was less than 5%.
Conclusion: This model can well forecast the amylase enzyme activity of Massa Medicata Fermentata after fermentation. These parameters obtained by RSM can provide scientific basis for the fermentation technology of Massa Medicata Fermentata, and it has a certain practical meaning.

Massa Medicata Fermentata (MMF) is a naturally fermented product used to treat indigestion and increase stomach activity in traditional medicine. This study examined the ability of the hydrothermal extract of MMF to scavenge free radicals corresponding to biological oxidative stresses, further protecting essential biomolecules. The anti-inflammatory effects of MMF were evaluated in LPS-induced RAW264.

This paper aims to study the therapeutic effect of Massa Medicata Fermentata on hyperlipidemia model rats and investigate its mechanism of hypolipidemic effect with the help of non-targeted metabolomics. The mixed hyperlipidemia model rats were constructed by giving high-fat chow. After successful modeling, the rats were divided into the model group, pravastatin sodium group(4.

The purpose of this study was to identify the chemical components of Massa Medicata Fermentata (MMF) in different fermentation methods, analyze its regulatory effects on gastrointestinal propulsion and intestinal flora in mice with food accumulation, and further explore its mechanism of action in the treatment of dyspepsia. The chemical compositions of three kinds of MMF were identified using the UPLC-Q- Exactive Orbitrap mass spectrometer. A model of spleen deficiency and food accumulation in mice was established.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Massa Medicata Fermentata, a fermented Chinese medicine, is produced by the fermentation of six traditional Chinese medicines. Liu Shenqu (LSQ) and charred Liu Shenqu (CLSQ) have been used for strengthening the spleen and enhancing digestion for over a thousand years, and CLSQ is commonly used in clinical practice. However, it is unclear whether there is a difference in the spleen strengthening and digestion effects between LSQ and CLSQ, as well as their mechanisms of action.

Ancient literature and modern studies have shown that Massa Medicata Fermentata (MMF) has a hangover effect and ameliorates hepatic inflammation, so we believe that MMF has a potential role in the treatment of alcoholic liver disease.
Methods: UPLC-Q-Orbitrap HRMS was used to characterize the chemical constituents in MMF.
