目的:比较4个产地的当归颜色及5种有效成分含量,探讨颜色与其道地性的相关性。方法:采用超高效液相色谱测定当归中的阿魏酸、洋川芎内酯A、藁本内酯L、正丁基苯酞和丁烯基苯酞,用劳尔比色卡对比当归的颜色,进行两个变量的相关性统计分析。结果:当归颜色与其品质相关;其中阿魏酸、洋川芎内酯A、藁本内酯L和丁烯基苯酞与颜色值呈显著正相关,正丁基苯酞与颜色值无显著相关性。结论:甘肃和云南产地当归综合品质较优。
To compare colors of Angelicae sinensis radix from four habitats and five effective components, ex-plore the correlation between color and geo-herbalism. METHODS An UPLC method was used for determination of ferulic acid, senkyunolide A, n-butylphthalide, ligustilide and butylidenephthalide in A. sinensis radix from different habitats. Color was compared by the color chip, and correlation between two variables were analyzed statistically. RESULTS Color was relat- ed to quality. Positive correlation was shown for ferulic acid, senkyunolide A, ligustilide and butylidenephthalide, rather than n-butylphthalide, with color. CONCLUSION The qualities of A. sinensis radix from Gansu and Yunnan provinces are better.
