Abstract:Objective:To establish a HPLC method for the determination of gallic acid in garden burnet.Method:The sample was extracted with methanol under ultrasonic management for 25 min.Chromatographic conditions:Shimadzu LC 6A with SPD 6AV detector at 270nm and auto injector SIL 6A,methanol 0.025 mol/L phosphoric acid(15∶85) as the mobile phase.Shin pack CLC ODS column(6.0mm×15mm).Result:Gallic acid in garden burnet was baseline separated and determined.The average content was 0.22%,recovery rate 97.4% and relative standard deviation 1.3%.Conclusion:Simple,rapid and accurate,the method provides new indexes for quality control of Garden Burnet.
