Abstract
Adulteration and illegal trade of Saussurea lappa in the name of Inula racemosa is a major issue. Therefore, accurate and easy methods are required to control malpractice and define authenticity. The current study is focused on authenticating and defining quality control methods for I. racemosa and S. lappa. Reference and market samples of S. lappa and I. racemosa were used to develop methods, including high-performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC), Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and (Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography-Photo Diode Array (UPLC-PDA). Multivariate analysis was used to define variations among samples. Costunolide, dehydrocostus lactone, isoalantolactone and alantolactone were used to develop and validate the quality control method. Phytochemical investigations and filter paper reagent tests clearly differentiate between Saussurea and Inula. HPTLC and GC-MS fingerprints were found significant to certify both species. From a quality control perspective, the UPLC-PDA method was found significant for the separation of targeted molecules. Altantolactones were found higher in I. racemosa while costunolides in S. lappa, whereas market samples closely resembled with Inula species and confirmed as I. racemosa. The current findings suggested that filter paper tests could be useful for farmers, traders and industries to check the authenticity of S. lappa and I. racemosa. Chemical fingerprints and UPLC-PDA method were found sufficient to define quality of both the species.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Chromatographic Science is devoted to the dissemination of information concerning all methods of chromatographic analysis. The standard manuscript is a description of recent original research that covers any or all phases of a specific separation problem, principle, or method. Manuscripts which have a high degree of novelty and fundamental significance to the field of separation science are particularly encouraged. It is expected the authors will clearly state in the Introduction how their method compares in some markedly new and improved way to previous published related methods. Analytical performance characteristics of new methods including sensitivity, tested limits of detection or quantification, accuracy, precision, and specificity should be provided. Manuscripts which describe a straightforward extension of a known analytical method or an application to a previously analyzed and/or uncomplicated sample matrix will not normally be reviewed favorably. Manuscripts in which mass spectrometry is the dominant analytical method and chromatography is of marked secondary importance may be declined.
