ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To develop an HPLC method for simultaneous determination of rutin, hyperoside, quercetin and kaempferol in Malus prunifolia from Shanxi province in China.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>The separation was performed on a Hypersil C18 column (4.6 mm x 250 mm, 5 microm), using a gradient elution with methanol-water containing 0.2% phosphoric acid as the mobile phase. The flow rate was 1.0 mL x min(-1), the detection wavelength was 360 nm and the temperature of column was 25 degrees T.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>The linear ranges of rutin, hyperoside, quercetin and kaempferol were 1.87-46.67 mg x L(-1), 6.40-160.0 mg x L(-1), 3.33-83.33 mg x L(-1), 0.80-20.00 mg x L(-1), respectively. The average recoveries (n=6) of the four constituents were 99.2% (RSD 2.9%), 98.2% (RSD 1.9%), 97.4% (RSD 2.3%), 97.2% (RSD 1.3%), respectively.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The method was simple, accurate and can be used to evaluate medicinal value of Malus prunifolia.</p>

Objective To investigate the technological parameters in the purification process of total organic acids from the immature flower of Lonicera japonica with macroporous resins. Methods Taking static saturated capacity of adsorption and static elution ratio as indexes, six types of macroporous adsorption resins were studied and compared to select the optimum macroporous resins. The technical process for purification of total organic acids from the immature flower of L. japonica with the optimum macroporous resin was screened by the yield and purity of total organic acids . Results The HPD100-type macroporous resin had the optimum adsorption and elution parameters. Conclusion The HPD100-type macroporous resin shows better comprehensive property and can be used to isolate and purify the total organic acids from the immature flower of L. japonica
