Abstract
This study presents an innovative High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) method for quantifying Kojic Acid (KA) in bulk and formulated products. Derived from various fungi, KA is widely used across industries, driving the need for efficient, eco-friendly analysis. The method, validated according to ICH guidelines, uses pre-coated silica gel 60F254 plates and a specific mobile phase, demonstrating excellent linearity (Y = 0.008x - 0.005, R² = 0.995) and high sensitivity (LOD: 0.48 μg/band, LOQ: 1.46 μg/band). It accurately quantifies KA in gel formulations with a concentration of 0.051 ± 0.056 μg/mL. Achieving a high greenness score of 0.81 on the Analytical GREEnness (AGREE) scale, this method is cost-effective, precise, and environmentally sustainable, ideal for routine industrial applications.
