METHOD FOR SPECTROPHOTOMETRIC MEASUREMENT OF COMBINATION OF CHLOROPHYLL, CAROTINOIDS AND HYDROXYCINNAMIC ACID IN GREAT NETTLE LEAVES Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC G01N33/15 G01N21/25 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely to studying and analysing medical preparations, and can be used for standardising herbal raw materials. A method for identification and qualitative measurement of chlorophyll, carotinoids and hydroxycinnamic acids in a combination in great nettle leaves involves a 1-hour fractional extraction, 30 min each of the ground raw material having a particle size of 1.0 mm on a water bath at a temperature of 100°C with 70% ethanol in a ratio of the herbal raw material to the extractant of 1:100, the combination of the extracts and reduction to 100 ml with a solvent, dilution of the prepared solution in a ratio of 2:25 in 96% ethanol, measuring an optical density of the solution in relation to 96% ethanol at maximum absorption 328±1 nm, 442±1 nm and 667±1 nm, calculation of the total content of hydroxycinnamic acids equivalent to chlorogenic acid, carotinoids equivalent to violaxanthin and chlorophyll in the percentage equivalent to an absolute dry mass of the raw material by formulas.

EFFECT: method provides availability, simplicity, efficiency and low error of measurement.
