Study on spectrophotometric determination and analysis of flavonids in nattos
Determination of flavonoids in natto and tartary buckwheat natto by spectrophotometry was developed. Rutin was used as standard for comparison. The calibration curve was linear in the range of 0.0μg/mL~25.3μg/mL (R2=0.999 8) . The average recovery was 98.94%, RSD was 1.42%.The content of alavonoids in nattos was 0.33 g/kg, and that of 0.78 g/kg in tartary buckwheat natto. Results showed this method was simple, fast, and accurate to determinate the flavonoids in nattos.
