Determination of ferulic acid in Angelica sinensis and Chuanxiong by capillary zone electrophoresis

Biomed Chromatogr. 1999 Aug;13(5):333-4. doi: 10.1002/(SICI)1099-0801(199908)13:5<333::AID-BMC834>3.0.CO;2-P.

Abstract

Ferulic acid in extracts of raw herbs was separated by capillary zone electrophoresis in the buffer solution of 10 mmol/L Na(2)B(4)O(7). The simple and rapid method was linear, ranging from 5 to 100 microg/mL, and had a good reproducibility with the RSD below 2%. The contents of ferulic acid in Angelica sinensis and Chuanxiong could be easily determined within 15 min with no pretreatment and no interference.
