Abstract:
OBJECTIVE A CO
2-Supercritical Fluid Chromatography(CO
2-SFC) method was established for the simultaneous determination of furanodiene, curdione and germacrone in the Zedoary Turmeric Oil.
METHODS A UPC
2 HSS C
18 SB analytical column(3.0 mm×150 mm, 1.8 μm) was adopted and the mobile phase consisted of CO
2-acetonitrile with linear gradient elution(0-8 min, 99.5%→84% of CO
2) at the flow rate of 1 mL·min
-1. The detection wavelength was 216 nm, the column temperature was maintained at 55℃, and the back pressure was was kept at 2 000 psi.
RESULTS The linear range of furanodiene was 2.67-1 337.26 μg·mL
-1 (
r=1.000), and the average recovery(
n=6) was 97.94% with RSD of 1.50%. The linear range of curdione was 2.77-1 386.00 μg·mL
-1 (
r=1.000), and the average recovery(
n=6) was 96.07% with RSD of 1.68%. The linear range of germacrone was 6.99-3 493.00 μg·mL
-1 (
r=1.000), and the average recovery(
n=6) was 99.33% with RSD of 1.88%.
CONCLUSION The established method is rapid, accurate, and it can protect environment, which provides a new method for the quality control of furanodiene, curdione and germacrone in the Zedoary Turmeric Oil.
