Effect of Different Processing Methods on Paeoniflorin Content in White Peony Root / 中国中医药信息杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the effect of different processing methods on paeoniflorin content and to provide a basis for stabilizing the processing technology of white peony root.Methods RP-HPLC method was used to determine the content of paeoniflorin on Agilent Eclipse XDB-C18(150 mm?4.6 mm,5 ?m),with mobile phase of acetonitrile-0.1% phosphoric acid(14∶86),flow rate of 1.0 mL/min,column temperature of 25 ℃,and detective wavelength of 230 nm.Results The average recovery rate was 99.195%,RSD=0.8%(n=6).The content of paeoniflorin was 0.55%,2.70%,3.40%,3.25%,respectively.Conclusion In the processing of white peony root,heating,water immersion and sulfur smoked have greater effect of paeoniflorin content in white peony root.
