Quality Assessment Method for Rhizoma Anemarrhenae Based on Stoichiometry and the Grey Correlation-TOPSIS
Objective To establish a comprehensive method for evaluating the quality of Rhizoma Anemarrhenae using stoichi-ometry combined with the grey correlation-TOPSIS model.Methods High-performance liquid chromatography was performed to determine the characteristic chromatogram of flavonoids and establish a method for determining water content,total fla-vonoids,and total saponins.Hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA),principal component analysis (PCA),and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA)were used to a stoichiometric analysis of different batches of RhizomaAnemar-rhenae samples.The entropy weight method combined with the grey correlation-TOPSIS method was used to establish a quality assessment model for Rhizoma Anemarrhenae.Results The characteristic chromatogram of flavonoids and the content determination method for Rhizoma Anemarrhenae established in this study were stable and reliable.Ten batches of Rhizoma Anemarrhenae samples were clustered into two categories by HCA,PCA and OPLS-DA.The comprehensive score of the grey correlation-TOPSIS model showed that the S10 samples ofRhizoma Anemarrhenae had a good quality and a relatively high score.Conclusion This study estab-lishes the method of characteristic chromatogram combined with stoichiometry and the grey correlation-TOPSIS method objec-tively evaluate the quality of different batches of Rhizoma Anemarrhenae,which provides a reference for establishing the meth-od for the comprehensive assessment and quality control of traditional Chinese medicine.
