Abstract:

In order to provide an optimal Folin-Ciocalteu assay for determining polyphenols in different organic solvent (ethanol aqueous solution, acetone aqueous solution and methanol aqueous solution all at 60% cocentration) extracts of Semen Astragali complanati, some Folin-Ciocalteu assay conditions were optimized. The results indicated that the optimal conditions for the determination of polyphenols by Folin-Ciocalteu were as follows: 10-fold diluted Folin-Ciocalteu reagent amount 1.00 mL, 7.5 g/100 mL Na2CO3 amount 3 mL, reaction temperature 25 ℃, reaction time 120 min, and determination wavelength 647 nm. A good linear relationship was observed between absorbance and gallic acid concentration within the range of 10－100 μg/mL (y = 0.0081x －0.0249, R2 = 0.9996). In addition, accurate contents of polyphenols in methanol extract, ethanol extract and acetone extract of Semen Astragali complanati diluted to a concentration of 1 g/100 mL was determined by this method.

Key words: Semen Astragali complanati, extract, polyphenols, determination
