Abstract:

As a common medicine, the price of Grass-leaved sweetflag differs greatly from those of Rhizoma calami and Acorus graminens soland, so the phenomenon of mixed or substituted use always appear in the market. In this paper, characteristic fingerprints of Grass-leaved sweetflag, Rhizoma calami and Acorus graminens soland were obtained by nonlinear chemical fingerprint technique and their visual difference was obvious. The binary doping of Grass-leaved sweetflag with Rhizoma calami and Acorus graminens soland was carried out, the linear regression equation was obtained via the quantitative information of the fingerprints and the content of calamus, the correlation coefficient was >0.9990. Using this equation to predict the content of each calamus in a mixture consisting two species of Acorus calamus. the relative error≤4.17%, RSD≤2.73%. The nonlinear chemical fingerprinting technique has a good reproducibility and characteristic. The system similarities of the fingerprints between the same species of Acorus calamus are ≥0.9989, while those of different species of Acorus calamus are ≤0.9123. In addition, the technology abandons the complex traditional pre-processing methods with high efficiency and fast peculiarity, and can be used to identify, analyze and evaluate the samples in a holistic.
