Abstract
An ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC)method combined with multivariate data analysis was developed to evaluate the quality of American ginseng by simultaneously determining the concentrations of six ginsenosides (Rg₁, Re, Rb₁, Rc, Ro and Rd)in the samples. For UPLC, acetonitrile with 0.01% formic acid and water with 0.01% formic acid were used as the mobile phase with gradient elution. Under the established chromatographic conditions, the six ginsenosides could be well separated and the results of linearity, stability, precision, repeatability, and recovery rate all reached the requirement of quantification analysis, respectively. The total contents of Rg₁, Re, and Rb₁ in 57 samples all reached the requirement of the 2015 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia. At the same time, the experimental data were analyzed by principle component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA). The crude drugs and the decoction pieces can be discriminated by a PCA method and the samples with different age can be distinguished by a PLS-DA method.
