Abstract
Under ultrasonication, the ginkgo terpene trilactones, ginkgolides and bilobalide, in ginkgo extracts can be selectively dissolved in 10% aqueous NaH 2PO 4 solution at a temperature of 50–60°C and separated from the solution by extraction with a mixture of ethyl acetate/tetrahydrofuran in a capped vial. After derivatization, these terpene trilactones can be quantified using GC-FID. This method has a detection limit of 10 ng, and the RSD was 6% ( n=5). Twelve commercial GBE products in powder, liquid, tablet and capsule forms were analyzed. The total time required for analyzing these samples from sample preparation to final data processing was less than 6 h, and the total organic solvent consumption was less than 40 ml. This procedure proves to be a simple, fast, safe, and effective method for all types of Ginkgo biloba extracts (GBE) including the “complex” or “advanced” formulas.
