Quality control methods for medicinal plant materials

Аннотация

The analysis of medicinal plant materials is not restricted to those methods discussed or recommended here and many techniques similar to those used for the analysis of synthetic drugs are also frequently employed (e.g. volumetric analysis, gravimetric determinations, gas chromatography, column chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography and spectrophotometric methods). Details of all these methods can be found in The international pharmacopoeia.
