CARBALLO GUERRA, Caridad et al. Desinfección química de plantas medicinales II: Plantago lanceolata L. Rev Cubana Plant Med [online]. 2002, vol.7, n.3. ISSN 1028-4796.

This paper presents a disinfecting method for the vegetal material of Plantago lanceolata L., which is aimed at reducing the microbial pollution of this plant to assure its quality. It was found that the adequate procedure was to wash the material with drinking water and then to submerge it into sodium hypochlorite (0.5% OCINa) for five minutes. The results of the microbiological and physical-chemical analyses showed that OCINa controlled the microbiological pollution and that physical-chemical parameters were within the allowable range in accordance with the branch standard for this vegetal drug.
