Abstract: Object:To establish a RP-HPLC method for the determination of liquiritin and glycyrrhizic acid in preserved fruit. Methods A LiChrospher RP-C18(250 mm×4.6 mm,i.d.5μm)column was used and the mobile phase was acetonitrile-water (1.0% methanoic acid)for gradient elution.The double detection wavelengths were used.Results The linear range of liqulritin is 0.21~6.30μg and regression equation is Y=2334.3161X+25.2431(r=0.9999).The average recovery is 98.6%(RSD=1.36%,n=9) and RSD of reproduction 0.78%.The linear range of glycyrrhizic acid is 0.25~7.50μg and regression equation is Y=907.7837X+0.8969(r=0.9999).The average recovery is 100.2%(RSD=1.48%,n=9)and RSD of reproduction 1.25%. Conclusion:The method is convenient and accurate.It can be used to control the dose limit of glycyrrhiza in similar food.
