The invention, which belongs to the technical field of
food quality control, specifically provides a method for measuring contents of three kinds of components in the aspalathus linearis (brum.f.) r.dahlgren, the aspalathus linearis (brum.f.) r.dahlgren extractive, and the aspalathus linearis (brum.f.) r.dahlgren tea. The method comprises: step one, preparing a mixed reference solution; step two,preparing a
test sample solution; step three, carrying out chromatographic condition and
system adaptability testing; to be specific, carrying out measurement based on the
high performance liquid chromatography under the conditions of using the octadecylsilane chemically bonded
silica column as a column,
acetonitrile as a mobile phase A, an
acetic acid solution with the
volume concentration of 0.8to 1. 5% or
formic acid with the
volume concentration of 0.1 to 0.5% as mobile phase B; carrying out chromatographic analysis according to a
gradient elution procedure under conditions of controllingthe flow rate of the mobile phase of 0.8 to 1.2 ml / min and the detection wavelengths of 275 to 295nm and 340 to 360nm; and step four, performing a measuring method; to be specific, abstracting the mixed reference solution and the
test sample solution respectively and injecting the solutions into a liquid chromatograph and measuring and calculating contents of
isoorientin,
orientin, and aspalathine. The invention provides a method for measuring contents of three kinds of components in the aspalathus linearis (brum.f.) r.dahlgren, the aspalathus linearis (brum.f.) r.dahlgren extractive, and theaspalathus linearis (brum.f.) r.dahlgren tea rapidly, accurately, and conveniently.
