Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo research the germplasm resources and the contents of senegenin in processing products of Polygala tenuifolia.
METHODThe contents of senegenin in wild Polygala tenuifolia and cultivated samples of Polygala tenuifolia were determined by RP-HPLC, and compared.
RESULTThe contents of senegenin in wild reduce gradually along Shaanxi, Shanxi, Hebei to Dongbei. The contents of senegenin in cultivated three-year samples of three year Polygala tenuifolia from five main place was similar, 0.44%-0.49%. The content of senegenin were 0.44%-0.64% in the wand and 0.03%-0.09% in the residual part of stem, and the content of senegenin in Polygala tenuifolia was more than that in processing products.
CONCLUSIONThere is a correlation between the content of senegenin in Polygala tenuifolia and ecology environment that show a is inverse proportion with the quality grade, and the contents in the processing products were decreased. Senegenin can be used as a characteristic marker in range. This research provides a reference for search a index for quality control of Radix polygala and its processing products.
