Abstract

Objectives: The aim of our study was to develop a simple, precise, sensitive and specific method for the simultaneous determination of arbutin andhydroquinone in different herbal slimming products using GC-MS.Materials and Methods: The methanol and aqueous extracts of nine herbal slimming products in Turkey were evaluated for analysis of arbutin andhydroquinone using GC-MS method.Results: The retention times of arbutin and hydroquinone were found as 11.32 and 5.44 min, respectively. The linear ranges in this method were5-500 ng/mL for arbutin and hydroquinone, respectively. The intra- and inter-day precisions, expressed as the relative standard deviation, wereless than 1.94 and 2.73%, determined from quality control samples for arbutin and hydroquinone, and accuracy was within 1.13 and 2.56% in termsof relative error, respectively. The limit of detection and quantification were 0.555 and 1.665 ng/mL for arbutin, and 0.031 and 0.093 ng/mL forhydroquinone, respectively.Conclusion: The developed method can be used for routine quality control analysis of arbutin and hydroquinone in different herbal slimmingproducts.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, farklı bitkisel zayıflama ürünlerinde arbutin ve hidrokinonun GC-MS yöntemiyle, eşzamanlı olarak belirlenmesi için basit, hassas ve spesifik bir yöntem geliştirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Türkiye’de bulunan dokuz bitkisel zayıflama ürününün sulu ve metanolik ekstreleri, arbutin ve hidrokinon analizi için GC-MS yöntemi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Arbutin ve hidrokinon için alıkonma zamanları sırasıyla 11.32 ve 5.44 dakika olarak bulunmuştur. Geliştirilen yöntemin doğrusallık aralığı arbutin ve hidrokinon için 5-500 ng/mL’dir. Kalite kontrol numunelerinden belirlenen ve bağıl standart sapma olarak ifade edilen gün-içi ve günlerarası kesinlik, arbutin ve hidrokinon için sırasıyla %1.94 ve %2.73’ten düşüktür. Bağıl hataya göre doğruluk değerleri arbutin ve hidrokinon için sırasıyla %1.13 ve %2.56 arasındadır. Gözlenebilme ve miktar tayin sınırı arbutin için sırasıyla 0.555 ve 1.665 ng/mL, hidrokinon için 0.031 ve 0.093 ng/mL’dir. Sonuç: Geliştirilen yöntem, farklı bitkisel zayıflama ürünlerinde arbutin ve hidrokinonun rutin kalite kontrol analizleri için kullanılabilir
