Abstract:A high-performance liquid chromatography method was established for the determination of rutin of buckwheat and its commodities. The extraction method was heat reflux, and rutin was separated on DIKMA diamonsil (4.6 mm ×250 mm, 5 μm). The mobile phase was acetonitrile-0.1% phosphoric acid solution at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The column temperature was 20 ℃ and the detection wavelength was set at 255 nm. The results indicated that rutin was basically isolated. The linear ranges was of 0.003976-0.5964 mg/mL (r=0.9999). The average recoveries was 96.93 % (n=6) with a RSD of 2.72 %. The results showed that the concentration of rutin of F. tataricum (L. ) Gaertn. was more higher than that of F. esculentum Moench,. The concentration of rutin of different producing area and preparation technique of buckwheat tea was also significantly different and the highest concentration of rutin was found in the whole embryo tea.
