Objective To study the changes of appearance and internal composition of Dihuang (Rehmanniae Radix, RR) during steaming, so as to provide a new basis for quality control of RR. Methods The morphological changes of RR were observed by image processing technology, colorimeter, and texture analyzer during the nine steaming and nine sun-drying process. UPLC/ESI-Q-TOF MS was used to determine the chemical constituents of raw RR and self-made nine steaming and nine sun-drying RR. The content of oligosaccharides obtained from one steaming and one sun-drying to nine steaming and nine sun-drying was determined dynamically by HPLC-ELSD. The correlation analysis was conducted by using multivariate statistical analysis to investigate the correlation between the morphological characteristics, chemical components, and oligosaccharides of RR. Results Black as paint: With the increase of steaming and drying times, L^*, a^*, b^* and E^* of Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata (RRP) showed a downward trend, and the color gradually became darker. It was found that the change of color had a certain correlation with the internal chemical components such as citric acid, 6-O-E-feruloylajugol, daredoside A, martynoside/isomartynoside/isomer. Sweet as maltose: A total of 10 peaks were identified, among which the content of peaks 3, 6, 8 and 10 decreased (which were disaccharide, trisaccharide, tetrasaccharide and pentaose, respectively), while the content of six components increased, which were respectively peaks 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 and 9, among them, peak 5 and peak 7 (speculated to be disaccharide and manninotriose) may be used as more superior markers to evaluate the quality of nine steaming and nine sun-drying RR. In the process of RR reaching nine steaming and nine sun-drying, a variety of internal chemical components changed. The correlation analysis results of the changes of chemical composition and carbohydrate in RR with color, gloss, hardness, adhesion and chewiness showed that there were some correlations among the above. Conclusion This study analyzed the dynamic changes in the appearance and components of RR with different steaming and sun-drying times, further elucidating the scientific connotation of different steaming and sun-drying times of RR, providing certain experimental basis for the saying “black as paint and sweet as maltose”.
