Comparison analysis of FTIR fingerprints of Artemisia apiacea Hance from different habitats / 中成药

ABSTRACT

AIM:To establish a method for evaluating the principle components of Herba Artemisiae Annuae from different habitats.METHODS:Using Fourier transform infrared spectrometry(FTIR),the characteristic peaks of fingerprints of samples from 12 habitats were recognized and compared.RESULTS:The samples from 12 habitats were obviourly different in number,frequency and intensity of peaks.CONCLUSION:FTIR is applied to analysis of principle components of Herba Artemisiae Annuae from different habitats and an operable method of quality control and discrimination for them is provided.
