The invention relates to the field of
traditional Chinese medicine analysis, in particular to a method for simultaneously determining the content of six
carbohydrate components in rhizoma polygonati. The invention discloses a method for simultaneously determining the contents of six
carbohydrate components in rhizoma polygonati, which comprises the following steps of: establishing a
relative correction factor and a relative intercept between the five
carbohydrate components of
fructose, glucose, kestose, nystose and nystose in the rhizoma polygonati and an internal reference substance by taking
cane sugar which is low in cost and easy to obtain as the internal reference substance; according to the method, the contents of
sucrose and other five carbohydrate components in the rhizoma polygonati are calculated by only adopting
sucrose as a reference substance and utilizing a
relative correction factor, a relative intercept and a relative retention value, so that multi-index quality evaluation on the rhizoma polygonati (crude products and processed products) is simple, convenient, rapid, comprehensive and accurate, and the quality
controllability and the stable
curative effect of the product are ensured; meanwhile, the detection cost and time are saved.
