Abstract

Objective: To establish the quality criteria for decoction pieces of salt Alpinia.

Methods: Decoction pieces of salt Alpinia were measured with moisture, total ash, acid-insoluble ash, water-extract and volatile oils according to the procedures recorded in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2010. The content of Nootkatone was determined by HPLC, and NaCl, by chloridion electrode method.

Results: We obtained results of total ash, acid-insoluble ash, water-extract and volatile oils of 10 batches of decoction pieces of salt Alpinia moisture; Meanwhile we set the HPLC and chloridion electrode method.

Conclusions: This research established a fine quality standard for decoction pieces of salt Alpinia.
