Abstract:
Objective Better drying methods of Forsythia suspense leaves was studied to provide some basis for the development and utilization of Forsythia suspense leaves. Methods A RP-HPLC method was used on XTerraTMRP8 (3.9 mm?150 mm, 5 ?m) column with acetonitrile-0.1% acetic acid solution (12 : 88) as mobile phase for forsythoside. The detection wavelength of forsythoside was at 328 nm and detection temperature was 30 ℃. Results The contents of forsythoside was higher when dry, microwave drying, absorbent paper drying, steaming 2～10 min, cooking 2～10 min was used to deal with Forsythia suspense leaves. The contents of forsythoside was lower when dried, drying, infrared drying, vacuum drying was used to deal with Forsythia suspense leaves. Conclusion Steaming 2～10 min, cooking 2～ 10 min is more appropriate for drying of Forsythia suspense leaves, when factors of the contents of forsythoside, the cost and ease of operation were considerd.
