Abstract

Objective To compare the two methods for the determination of the shark chondroitin sulfate. Methods Using chondroitin sulfate and aminohexose as standards to determine the content of the shark chondroitin sulfate by the carbazole method and the Elson-Morgan method. Results Experiments showed that by the carbazole method, the concentration of the shark chondroitin sulfate was within the ranges of 4. 710-47. 100 μg/ml, displaying good linear relationship (r =0.9999) and good stability within 3 hours, with RSD = 1.21%, reproductive test RSD = 1. 36%( n=6), precision test RSD = 0. 46% (n = 6), and a recovery rate of 99.60% , RSD = 1. 39% ( n = 6). For the Elson-Morgan method, the concentration of the shark chondroitin sulfate was within the ranges of 2.552-25. 520 μg/ml, also displaying good linear relationship (r = 0. 9996) and good stability within 3 hours, with RSD = 1. 62% , reproductive test RSD = 2. 61% ( n = 6), precision test RSD = 1.07%(n = 6), and a recovery rate of 96. 55% ,RSD = 2.43% (n = 6). Conclusions When compared with the Elson-Morgan, the carbazole method was more simple, rapid and accurate and could be used a standard method for the determination of the content of shark chondroitin sulfate. Key words: Shark; Chondroitin sulfate; Carbazole method; Elson-Morgan method
