ABSTRACT
Objective To study the method of headspace gas chromatography for the determination of β-eugenol in Magnolia officinalis. Methods Headspace gas chromatography was used. The column was HP-INNOWax capillary column, the detector was hydrogen flame ionization detector, inlet temperature: 200 ℃; column temperature: 135 ℃ for 3min, at 10 ℃/min heating rate rose to 150 ℃, At a rate of 15 ℃/min up to 250 ℃for 5 min; constant flow rate: 0.8 mL/min; detector temperature: 250 ℃; headspace injection, gas injection volume: 1 mL, headspace Temperature 180 ℃, the balance time 30min; with the external standard method according to the peak area calculation results. Results The linear range of the concentration of menthol was 2.49～24.86 μg/mL (r=0.9994). The RSD of the precision, stability and repeatability test were <5％, the average recovery was 97.0％, RSD was 0.84％ (n=9). Conclusion The method is simple and accurate for the determination of volatile oil.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for the content determination of menthanol in Qinagli pipa syrup. METHODS:Headspace GC was performed on the column of HP-INNOWax capillary column,column temperature was 80 ℃,temperature inlet sample was 150 ℃,the detector was hydrogen flame ionization detector with temperature of 250 ℃,the flow rate of nitrogen was 0.8 ml/min with constant flow and no split,the volume injection was 1 ml,the equilibrium temperature of headspace bottle was 80 ℃,and the equilibrium time was 20 min. RESULTS:The linear range of menthanol was 2.486-24.86 μg/ml(r=0.9999),RS-Ds of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were lower than 2%,recovery was 95.4%-99.8%(RSD=1.5%,n=9). CON-CLUSIONS:The method is simple and accurate,and can be used for the content determination of menthanol in Qinagli pipa syrup.
