Objective:To investigate the correlation between intrinsic quality and the appearance color of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma. Method:The contents of effective ingredients(salvianolic acid B and tanshinones) in Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma were determined by HPLC.The extract content was determined by methods in the 2015 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia and the chromatic values of methanol solution of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma powder were measured by colorimeter.On the basis of this
the three sets of data were fitted to find out the relationships. Result:The contents of effective ingredients were higer
the content of extract was higher
the value of a*(red and green weight value) was higher
and the color was redder
then the quality of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma was better;the opposite is the same. Conclusion:A simple method
which is used to judge the quality of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma
is established based on the correlation analysis of appearance and intrinsic quality
this method can be also used to verify scientificity of traditional identification experience of "redder is better".
