The quality specification of ginkgo biloba extract in CP2005:
Preparation: Withdraw under a reflux condenser of ethanol, adsorb with macroporous resin, spray to dry, comminute.
Character: Yellowish brown to brownish powder, mildly bitter flavour
Test: Moisture<5.0%
Residue on ignition<0.8%
Heavy metal is not more than twenty millionths, namely less than 20ppm
The peak area ratio of flavonoid glycoside, namely Quercatin: Kaemperol should be 0.8--1.5
Total ginkgo acid should be not more than ten millionths, namely 10ppm
Assay: High performance liquid chromatography
Total Ginkgo flavone glycosides >24%
The content of total ginkgo flavone glycosides is the sum of the content of quercatin, kaemperol and isorhamnetin (Quercatin: Kaemperol 0.8-1.5. If it surpasses 1.5, it should be suspected to add quercatin. )
Total terpene lactones > 6%
The content of total terpene lactones is the sum of the content of bilobalide, ginkgolide A, B and C.
