Establishment of UPLC Characteristic Chromatograms and Study on the Differences of Chromaticity Values among Cornus officinalis and Its Different Wine-processed Products / 中国药房

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE：To establish characteristic chromatogram of Cornus officinalis and its different wine-processedproducts，investigate the differences of chromaticity values，and analyze them with chemical pattern recognition technology.METHODS：UPLC method was adopted. Using loganin as reference，UPLC characteristic chromatograms were drawn for 10batches of C. officinalis and 20 batches of different wine-processed products （stewing with wine，steaming with wine）. TCMFingerprint Similarity Evaluation System（2012A edition）was used for similarity evaluation，and common peaks were confirmed.The chromaticity values [lightness（L），red and green tone value（a），yellow and blue tone value（b），color difference value（ΔE）]were determined by spectrophotometer. SPSS 20.0 and SIMCA 14.0 software were used for cluster analysis，principal componentanalysis and partial least squares-discriminant analysis；taking the area of characteristic peak and chromaticity value as indexes，andthe variable importance projection greater than 1 as the standard，the difference markers affecting its quality were screened.RESULTS：There were 6 common peaks in the chromatograms for decoction piece of C. officinalis，7 common peaks forwine-processed C. officinalis（stewing with wine）and wine-processed C. officinalis（steaming with wine）. Four components wereidentified as gallic acid，5-hydroxymethylfurfural，morroniside，loganin. 5-hydroxymethylfurfural was produced after processing.The similarity between C. officinalis and different wine-processed products （stewing and steaming with wine） was low（0.869-0.937，0.845-0.944），but the similarity between different wine-processed products was higher than 0.99. ΔL，Δa，Δb and ΔEof C. officinalis decoction pieces and wine-processed C. officinalis decoction pieces（stewing in wine）were －9.42-－3.58，－24.92- －15.00，－11.33- －7.00 and 17.01-28.12，respectively. ΔL，Δa，Δb and ΔE of C. officinalis decoction pieces and wine-processed C. officinalis（steaming in wine）decoction pieces were －8.58-－2.42，－25.08-－13.83，－10.92-－6.08，15.58-28.67. ΔL，Δa，Δb and ΔE of wine-processed C. officinalis decoction pieces（stewing and steaming with wine）were －2.17-3.00，－0.75-2.50， 0.25-1.42 and 1.25-3.83，respectively. Results of cluster analysis showed that 30 batches of sample were clustered into two categories，S1-S10 were clustered into one category，and S11-S30 were clustered into other category. Principal component analysis showed that cumulative contribution rate of former two main components was 83.147％. Results of partial least squares-discriminant analysis showed that morroniside，No.5 peak and chromaticity values（L，a，b）were the difference markers affecting its quality. CONCLUSIONS：Established UPLC characteristic chromatogram is stable and feasible，and can be used to rapidly identify C. officinalis and its different wine-processed products. Established chemical mode can be used to identify different wine-processed products.
