Abstract:
Aim :To establish an HPLC method for the determination of 3-methyl-7,8-dihydroxy-isochroman-4-one in the peel of
Musa sapientum.
Methods :A column of Shimadzu ODS-C
18 column(250 mm×4.6 mm,
5 μm), and a mobile phase of acetonitrile-water-phosphoric acid(9∶91∶0.1) were adopted.A detect wavelength of 283 nm,a flow rate of 1 mL/min,and a column temperature of 35 °C were set.
Results :The content of 3-methyl-7,8-dihydroxy-isochroman-4-one in the peel of
Musa sapientum was 0.029 5%-0.036 7%.Calibration curve was linear over the range 1.09-13.08 μg.The average recovery was 100.0%.The assay variability value was 0.64 %(
n=9).
Conclusion :The method can be used for the quality control of
Musa sapientum.
