Objective: A new method was developed for the determination of esculin and esculetin in Cortex Fraxini by cloud point extraction coupled with HPLC. Method: The surfactant Genapol X-080 was chosen as the extract solvent. Some affecting factors such as the concentration of surfactant
liquid/solid ratio
the concentration of sodium chloride
equilibration temperature and equilibration time were investigated and optimized. Result: The optimum conditions were achieved of 0.18 g· mL-1 surfactant concentration
100:1 liquid/solid ratio
1.5 mol· L-1sodium chloride concentration for 35 min under 60 ℃. Conclusion: This methodology offers the advantages of safety
efficiency and easiness. Under the optimum conditions
the average recoveries of esculin and esculetin were 95.3%
96.0% and RSD were 2.3%
2.1%. The method was successfully applied to determine esculin and esculetin in Cortex Fraxini respectively.
