摘要
A high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with an evaporative light scattering detector(HPLC-ELSD)has been developed to evaluate the quality of Asparagus filicinus through a simultaneous determination of six steroidal saponins and one ecdysone,including aspafiliosides A,B,C,E,G,filiasparoside A and 20-hydroxyecdysone.With a C_(18) analytical column,the seven analytes were separated efficiently using acetonitrile-water as the mobile phase in a gradient program.The method limits of detection ranged 0.1250.225μg,and the method limits of quantitation ranged 0.408-0.720μg,respectively.The intra-and inter-day precisions of the method were evaluated and were all less than 3%.All the recoveries for the spiked analytes ranged 95.16%-100.61%.The proposed method was succesfully applied to quantify the seven components in thirteen samples from different localities in China.
