Spectrofluorimetric determination of anthraquinone content in Morinda Officinalis How
AIM: To develop the spectrofluorimetric method to determine the anthraquinone content of Morinda Officinalis How, and to discuss the relations of anthraquinone content of Morinda Officinalis in different metropolis preliminarily. METHODS: 1, 8-dihydroxyanthraquinone was reference substance. Take acetone as solvent agent, the fluorescent intensity of the solution was measured at 425/513 run. RESULTS: The linear range was 247.5-2970 μg/L ( r = 0. 9995 ). Free anthraquinone and combined anthraquinone content of Morinda Officinalis in different growing areas range were 29.26-69.95 μg/g, 3714.59-5830.39 μg/g. CONCLUSION: This research for measuring anthraquinone content in Morinda Officinalis provides a kind of effectively dependable analytical method. Free anthraquinone and combined anthraquinone compositions of Morinda Officinalis in different metropolis have some differences.
