The thickness of the filter paper used should be greater than 20um, and the average filtration rate should be less than 12um, which is to prevent the starch, pectin and other ingredients with a molecular weight greater than 5000 from passing through, so as to prevent the "overflow" and "scorched bottom" of the drug solution due to gelatinization .
