Abstract:

A high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was established for the determination of scopoletin
in noni juice and a traditional Chinese medicinal compound health product containing noni juice. The chromatographic
separation was performed on an Elite SinoChrom ODS-BP column (4.6 mm × 200 mm, 5 μm) using acetonitrile-0.1%
phosphoric acid aqueous solution (30:70, V/V) as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1 mL/min. The column temperature
was 25 ℃, and the detection wavelength was set at 348 nm. The results showed a good linear relationship between peak
area and scopoletin concentration in the range of 0.5–20 μg/mL. The average recoveries for noni juice and the health
product containing noni juice were 104.05% and 97.11%, with relative standard deviations (RSDs) of 0.81% and 1.99%,
respectively. This method proved to be accurate and reliable and could be used to qualitatively and quantitatively determine
scopoletin in noni juice and the compound health product containing noni juice.
