title: [Study on determination methods for abietic acid in fake Myrrha].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To establish the qualitative and quantitative method for abietic acid in fake Myrrha.
  
  
  METHODS
  The abietic acid was identified by TLC, HPLC-PAD and HPLC-MS.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Abietic acid was detected in 18 batches, which content was 1.16 to 73.99 (mg/g).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The method can meet the requirements of identification and determination.
