Abstract:
In order to adapt the UV spectrophotometry method to oleanolic acid dosing, absorption spectra within the range from 230 to 350 nm have been determined for both OA systems in glacial acetic acid (lambda max = 256 nm) and OA systems in ethyl alcohol (lambda max = 277 nm). The time stability of oleanolic acid in the presence of the two solvents has also been investigated in this study. Besides, the composition of etalon series and graphical representation of experimental results (n = 6) have been performed. Also, the calculation algorithm was given, the regression lines have been drawn and statistical parameters were calculated to establish the mathematical expression of OA concentration (mg%).

However, the stretching absorptions for the C=O bond vary depending on the structure of carboxylic acids. The C=O bond of the free carboxylic acids shows a higher stretching frequency, 1760 cm−1, while H-bonded carboxylic acids (dimers) exhibit stretching absorptions at a lower frequency, 1710 cm−1. The C=O bond of the...
