Identification 鉴别

（1）The powder is brownish-yellow. Numerous stone cells are mostly circular, elongated, or irregular in shape, with a diameter of 15-53μm. Fibers mostly occur in bundles, with a diameter of 10-25μm, slightly lignified walls, and peripheral cells containing calcium oxalate prisms and a few cluster crystals, forming crystal fibers; beside the fiber bundles, there are often thick-walled cells of square or rectangular shape. Calcium oxalate prisms are 6-15μm long; cluster crystals have a diameter of 6-14μm. There are many lignified thin-walled cells, and the pits and pits are obvious. The epidermal cells of the fruit peel are reddish-brown, and the surface appears polygonal, with a thicker wall and granular horny texture visible on the surface.
（1）本品粉末棕黄色。石细胞众多，类圆形、长圆形或形状不规则，直径15～53μm。纤维大多成束，直径10～25μm，壁微木化，周围细胞含草酸钙方晶和少数簇晶，形成晶纤维；纤维束旁常伴有类方形厚壁细胞。草酸钙方晶长6～15μm；簇晶直径6～14μm。木化薄壁细胞甚多，纹孔和孔沟明显。果皮表皮细胞红棕色，表面观类多角形，壁较厚，表面可见颗粒状角质纹理。

（2）Take 1g of the powder, add 8ml of ethanol, heat under reflux for 5 minutes, cool, and filter. Take 0.5ml of the filtrate, place it in a small porcelain dish, evaporate to dryness, cool, add 3 drops of acetic anhydride, stir well, add 2 drops of sulfuric acid along the wall of the dish, and gradually show a reddish-purple color.
（2）取本品粉末1g，加乙醇8ml，加热回流5分钟，放冷，滤过。取滤液0.5ml，置小瓷皿中，蒸干，放冷，加醋酐3滴，搅匀，沿皿壁加硫酸2滴，渐显红紫色。

（3）Take 1g of the powder, add 10ml of water, boil for 10 minutes, filter, and vigorously shake the filtrate to produce persistent foam (lasting for more than 15 minutes).
（3）取本品粉末1g，加水10ml，煮沸10分钟，滤过，滤液强烈振摇，即产生持久的泡沫（持续15分钟以上）。

（4）Take 1g of the powder, add 10ml of methanol, treat with ultrasound for 30 minutes, filter, evaporate the filtrate to dryness, dissolve the residue in 10ml of water, extract with 10ml of ethyl acetate, take the ethyl acetate solution, evaporate to dryness, dissolve the residue in 1ml of methanol as the test solution. Take 1g of the reference drug Gleditsia Fruit (Abnormal), prepare the reference drug solution in the same way. Perform the thin-layer chromatography test<0502> using silica gel G as the coating substance and a lower layer solution of chloroform-methanol-water-acetic acid (18:1:0.6:0.2) as the mobile phase. Apply 10μl of each of the above two solutions separately to the same silica gel G thin-layer plate. After developing and removal of the plate, dry in air. Spray with a 10% solution of sulfuric acid in ethanol, heat at 105°C to the spots clear. The fluorescent spot in the chromatogram obtained with the test solution corresponds in position and colour to the spot in the chromatogram obtained with the reference drug solution.
（4）取本品粉末1g，加甲醇10ml，超声处理30分钟，滤过，滤液蒸干，残渣加水10ml使溶解，加乙酸乙酯10ml振摇提取，取乙酸乙酯液，蒸干，残渣加甲醇1ml使溶解，作为供试品溶液。另取猪牙皂对照药材1g，同法制成对照药材溶液。照薄层色谱法（通则0502）试验，吸取上述两种溶液各10μl,分别点于同一硅胶G薄层板上，以三氯甲烷-甲醇-水-冰醋酸（18︰1︰0.6︰0.2）的下层溶液为展开剂，展开，取出，晾干，喷以10%硫酸乙醇溶液，在105℃加热至斑点显色清晰。供试品色谱中，在与对照药材色谱相应的位置上，显相同颜色的斑点。
