The limited range as an indicator for determining Astragali Radix content was determined by investigating the extraction method and extraction time of Astragaloside Ⅰ and detecting the content of Astragaloside Ⅰ in 12 batches of Astragali Radix from different origins. The moisture, total ash, and water-soluble extracts in Astragali Radix were determined according to the drying method, total ash determination method, and cold soaking method in the four parts of Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2020 edition), respectively. Results:The content of total saponins in Astragali Radix harvested in spring and autumn in different origins was not significantly different, but the content of total flavonoids was significantly different. Except for H11, the content of Astragaloside Ⅰ in the other batches of Astragali Radix was ≥ 0.05%, so the content limit of Astragaloside Ⅰ was proposed to be≥0.05%. The results of moisture, total ash and water-soluble extracts in the 12 batches of Astragali Radix all meet the requirements in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. Conclusions:Astragali Radix harvested in autumn is with higher content of active components and better quality. At the same time, this study can provide a reference that the new version of Chinese Pharmacopoeia can revise the Astragaloside Ⅳ in the content determination index of Astragali Radix to Astragaloside Ⅰ .
