Abstract:Objective:A method for determination of adenosine in four fermented Cordyceps products by RP HPLC is described.Method:C 18 column was used with methanol 0.06mol/L potassium phosphate monobasic tetrahydrofuran(10∶150∶1.5)as mobile phase.The flow rate was 1ml/min and detected at 260nm.Results: The average recovery was 98.7% and relative standard deviation was 1.10%(n=5).Conclusion:This method is simple,rapid and sensitive.The paper introduces the feasibility of supersonic extraction method taking the place of reflux method.
