The present invention provides an amaranthus retroflexus L. seed characteristic
fingerprint spectrum, a construction method and application thereof, and a method for identifying adulterated amaranthus retroflexus L. seeds in
celosia argentea L. seeds, which relates to the technical field of
traditional Chinese medicine detection. The present invention constructs an amaranthus retroflexus L. seed characteristic
fingerprint spectrum, which has strong method specificity, good precision, good
repeatability and good durability. By using the amaranthus retroflexus L. seed characteristic
fingerprint spectrum constructed by the present invention to locate the HPLC chromatogram of the to-be-detected
celosia argentea L. seeds, if no chromatographic peak with the same
retention time appears in the chromatogram of the to-be-detected sample and the amaranthus retroflexus L. seed characteristic fingerprint spectrum, it indicates that the to-be-detected
celosia argentea L. seeds do not contain amaranthus retroflexus L. seeds; if a chromatographic peak with the same
retention time appears in the chromatogram of the to-be-detected sample and the amaranthus retroflexus L. seed characteristic fingerprint spectrum, and the
ultraviolet spectrograms are consistent, it indicates that the to-be-detected
celosia argentea L. seeds contain amaranthus retroflexus L. seeds. The method provided by the present invention solves the problem of adulteration of whether
celosia argentea L. seeds are adulterated with amaranthus retroflexus L. seeds. This method is simple to operate, has simple steps, clear and reliable results, and is easy to judge, providing a more powerful guarantee for the authenticity identification and
quality control of
celosia argentea L. seeds.
