Determination of alliin in Allium sativum Linn by HPLC / 中成药

AIM: To establish a RP HPLC method to determine the content of alliin in Allium sativum Linn. METHODS: Chromatographic separation was performed on ODS column with a mobile phase composed of methanol water (3∶7 by volume). The eluate was monitored at 214nm wavelength. RESULTS: The average recovery of sample for alliin was 98.7%, The RSD of within day was 1.1%. The RSD of between day was 1.9%. CONCLUSION: The method is simple, rapid with good suitability.
