[A thin layer chromatography densitometric method for the determination of arecoline content in semen Arecae from different producing areas].
A TLC-densitometric method for the determination of arecoline in Semen Arecae (Areca catechu) was established, and arecoline content in three Semen Arecae (Imported, Hainan, Guanzhou) was determined. The method is accurate, sensitive and simple. The recovery is 102.39% and the coefficient of variation of six samplings is 1.95%. The are coline average content in the three Semen Arecae is 0.22%, 0.19%, 0.56% respectively.
