Research on the Quality Control in Fingerprint of Areca Peel by Gas Chromatography / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE:To establish the gas chromatography (GC) fingerprint for the petroleum ether part of Areca peel and provide reference for the quality evaluation. METHODS:GC was conducted to establish the fingerprint for the petroleum ether part of Areca peel from 10 different areas,the cluster analysis and similarity of fingerprint data were conducted to study the similarity of GC fingerprint of Areca peel. RESULTS:There were totally 8 common peaks. All the medicine materials had the characteristics,but there were differences among the relative peak area. CONCLUSIONS:The GC fingerprint has high importance and precision and can be used for the quality control of Areca peel.
