This invention relates to the field of
traditional Chinese medicine analysis, and particularly to a method for determining the content of multiple components in
Terminalia chebula and constructing its characteristic
fingerprint spectrum. The method provided by this invention can simultaneously determine chebulin,
gallic acid, 4-galloshikimic acid, 5-galloshikimic acid, punicalin (punicalin A&B),
corilagin, 1,3,6-tri-O-galloyl-β-D-glucose, chebulin,
urolithin M5, chebulin
tannic acid, chebulin-lintannic acid, and
ellagic acid in
Terminalia chebula. It exhibits high sensitivity, good precision,
repeatability, and stability, and can be used to detect the
tannin content in the extract at each step of the
tannin extraction process, as well as for related detection in the study and quality evaluation of
tannin components in
Terminalia chebula. It can also be used to construct the characteristic
fingerprint spectrum of
Terminalia chebula. This method can also be used for determining the content of tannin compounds and constructing their characteristic
fingerprint spectrum in
Terminalia chebula, which contains similar tannin compounds to
Terminalia chebula.
