Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of analytical detection technology, and in particular to the application of difructose anhydride I and difructose anhydride III as markers in the rapid detection of Polygonatum sibiricum and Polygonatum sibiricum, and a method for detecting difructose anhydride I and difructose anhydride III in Polygonatum sibiricum. Background Technology
[0002] Polygonatum (PR) is a perennial herb belonging to the genus Polygonatum in the family Liliaceae. It is mainly distributed in East and Southeast Asia. The raw product has a slight odor, a sweet taste, and is sticky when chewed. It is neutral in nature and enters the spleen, lung, and kidney meridians. It has the effects of tonifying qi and nourishing yin, strengthening the spleen, moistening the lungs, and benefiting the kidneys. It can be used for spleen and stomach qi deficiency, fatigue, and internal heat with thirst. PR is a traditional and classic medicinal and edible plant, widely consumed as a valuable commodity in the functional food, dietary supplement, and health product industries. It has significant health benefits and is considered to have nourishing, strengthening, and longevity-promoting effects. However, the raw product contains irritating components, which can cause a numbing sensation on the tongue when consumed. After processing, the irritation is eliminated, and the tonic effects are enhanced.
[0003] In the theoretical system of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the concepts of "judging quality by form" and "interrelationship between exterior and interior" provide a unique perspective on the processing of Polygonatum odoratum. Traditionally, it is believed that processed Polygonatum odoratum is best when it is "black in color." Meanwhile, polysaccharides are the only quality control component of Polygonatum odoratum as specified in the 2020 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. Currently, domestic and international literature reports and the analysis of the sugar components of Polygonatum odoratum in Part I of the 2020 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia mainly use the sulfuric acid-anthrone-UV-Vis spectroscopy method. This method uses glucose as a reference to determine the polysaccharide content of Polygonatum odoratum, resulting in poor specificity. Furthermore, the preparation process of the test sample is cumbersome, involving the use of potentially explosive sulfuric acid and potentially toxic anthrone reagents, raising safety concerns. In addition, existing quality evaluation methods for processed Polygonatum odoratum mainly focus on the determination of polysaccharide, flavonoid, Polygonatine A, fructose, glucose, total saponins, EBC, and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural content. However, these evaluation indicators and methods are still relatively one-sided and lack accuracy. Summary of the Invention

[0042] After passing the fine powder of the above-mentioned test objects through a No. 5 sieve, 0.5g of each powder was weighed into a stoppered conical flask, 40mL of 80% ethanol solution was added, the powder was weighed, and the mixture was sonicated at room temperature for 30min (power of 250W). The mixture was then removed, cooled, and the lost weight was replenished with 80% ethanol solution. The mixture was shaken well and filtered through a 0.22μm filter membrane to obtain the extract. The extract was subjected to high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray detection (elution mode: isocratic elution, mobile phase A was acetonitrile, mobile phase B was 0.1% ammonia solution; the volume ratio of mobile phase A to mobile phase B was 87:13, the flow rate of the mobile phase was 1.0 mL / min, the column temperature was 30℃; the acquisition frequency of electrospray detection was 5 Hz, the filtering time was 2.0 s, and the evaporation temperature was 60℃), and the peak areas of difructose anhydride I and difructose anhydride III were obtained respectively. Based on the peak areas of difructose anhydride I and difructose anhydride III and their respective predetermined standard curves, the mass concentrations of difructose anhydride I and difructose anhydride III were obtained respectively (results are shown in Table 3 and...). Figures 1-2 (as shown) Table 3. Mass concentrations of fructosine I and fructosine III in the above-mentioned test subjects.
[0043] Figure 1 The mass concentrations of difructose anhydride I, difructose anhydride III, and total mass concentration are given for the test objects numbered 1 to 18. Figure 2 The total mass concentrations of difructose anhydride I and difructose anhydride III in the analytes numbered K0~K9, C0~C9, and S0~S9 (where PK is K0~K9, PC is C0~C9, and PS is S0~S9); from Figures 1-2 As shown in Table 3, the total mass concentrations of difructose anhydride and difructose anhydride III in all raw Polygonatum sibiricum were significantly lower than those in processed Polygonatum sibiricum. Furthermore, during processing, their content initially increased and then stabilized, reaching a stable level after "three steamings and three sun-dryings" to "four steamings and four sun-dryings." Analysis of market samples further indicated that the total mass concentrations of DFAIII and DFAI in the three original Polygonatum sibiricum varieties listed in the Pharmacopoeia and other raw Polygonatum sibiricum products were also significantly lower than those in processed products, exhibiting the same trend. These results demonstrate that the total content of DFAIII and DFAI can effectively distinguish between raw and processed Polygonatum sibiricum, possessing the potential to serve as a key indicator for evaluating the processing technology and quality of processed Polygonatum sibiricum. In addition, the CAD detection method established in this study is significantly superior to the UV-Vis spectrophotometry method in terms of sensitivity and ease of pretreatment, making it suitable for rapid and accurate determination of this indicator.

After 6 measurements, the RSDs of the peak areas of difructose anhydride III and difructose anhydride I were 0.60% and 0.86%, respectively, indicating that the instrument precision was good. Stability test: 10 μL of extract K3 was accurately pipetted and injected at 0, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 24 h. After 6 measurements, the RSDs of the peak areas of difructose anhydride III and difructose anhydride I were 1.11% and 0.76%, respectively. Repeatability test: Take 0.5g of the fine powder of the test sample numbered K3 into 6 portions, prepare the extract according to the above process, and then detect it according to the above high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray detection conditions. Record the peak area. The average contents of difructose anhydride III and difructose anhydride I are 1.12% and 1.68%, respectively, and the RSDs are 1.17% and 1.18%, respectively, indicating that the method has good repeatability. Recovery test: Accurately weigh 0.25 g of the fine powder of 6 test samples (K3) with known content, and accurately add 0.522 mg / mL difructose anhydride I reference solution and 0.518 mg / mL difructose anhydride III reference solution. Prepare the extract according to the above procedure, and then detect it according to the above high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray detection conditions. Record the peak area. The average recoveries of difructose anhydride III and difructose anhydride I were 98.86% and 98.14%, respectively, with RSDs of 1.29% and 1.14%, respectively.
