Identification of Ranunculus ternatus by Fourier Transformation Infrared Spectrophotometry(FT-IR) / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE:To identify the medical material Ranunculus ternatus. METHODS: Potassium bromide was used for tabletting.The medical material Ranunculus ternatus and its isogeneric plants were analyzed by using infrared spectrometry.RESULTS:The infrared spectrogram of the medical material Ranunculus ternatus was distinctive and somewhat different from those of its isogeneric plants.CONCLUSION:Fourier transformation infrared spectrometry could be used for the identification of Ranunculus ternatus in that it is simple,rapid,reproducible and specific.
