Analysis of Mangnolia Officinalis Component in the Banfu-nano Pellets
The major components named magnolol and honokiol in Mangnolia officinalis were determined and indentified by TLC and HPLC. The TLC indicated that the reference substance, the Mangnolia officinalis and the Banfu-nano pellets could show the same color pot as the control herbs or contrast in the same position, with a negative control without interference, the magnolol in the linear range of 12~240 μg/mL had good linearity relations (r=0. 9996), the honokiol in the linear range of 5. 6~112 μg/mL had good linearity relations ( r=0. 9997 ) . The content of magnolol and honokiol in the Banfu-nano pellets were 0. 1384 ± 0. 01076 and 0. 0666 ± 0. 005218 , respectively. TLC and HPLC are simple, sensitive and reliable, which can be used to control the quality of the Banfo-nano pellets.
