Determination of Glycyrrhizic Acid in Health Food

1 Scope

This document describes a method for the determination of glycyrrhizic acid in health foods by HPLC.

This document applies to health foods in dosage forms such as hard capsules, tablets, powders, pastes, teas, granules, oral liquids, wine preparations, vinegar preparations, etc.

Determination of glycyrrhizic acid.

2 Normative references

GB/T 6682

3 Terms and definitions

There are no terms or definitions that require definition in this document.

4 Principle

The glycyrrhizic acid in the sample was extracted with 50% methanol solution, purified by solid phase extraction column if necessary, separated by high performance liquid chromatography, and detected by ultraviolet detector.

Detection, qualitative analysis by retention time and quantitative analysis by external standard method.

5 Reagents or materials

Unless otherwise specified, only chromatographic grade reagents were used.

5.1 Reagents

5.1.1 Methanol (CH3OH). 5.1.2 Acetic acid (CH3COOH).

5.1.3 Ammonium acetate (C2H7O2N).

5.1.4 Water. Grade 1 water as specified in GB/T 6682.

5.2 Reagent preparation

5.2.1 50% methanol solution. Take 500 mL of methanol (5.1.1), dilute to 1000 mL with water and mix well.

5.2.2 Ammonium acetate-0.5% acetic acid solution (0.1 mol/L). Take 7.71 g of ammonium acetate (5.1.3) and 5 mL of acetic acid (5.1.2), dissolve in water and Make up to 1000 mL and mix well.
