[The HPLC fingerprint analysis of Fructus citri].
OBJECTIVE
To study and establish the fingerprint of raw Fructus Citri by phased high performance liquid chromatography.


METHODS
The chromatographic conditions were as follows: a Kromasil C18 column was used; the mobile phase was composed of methanol and acetic-water(3.1:100, v/v) with gradient elution; the flow rate was 1.0 ml/min and the UV absorbance detection was set at 284 nm.


RESULTS
Under the selected chromatographic conditions, good HPLC fingerprints of Fructus Citri were obtained.


CONCLUSIONS
Quality of raw Fructus Citri can be controlled effectively by HPLC fingerprint.
