Objective:
A new method was established to determine the formononetin content in Trifoblium pratense L.
Methods:
Effects of fluorescence intensity, as well as its precision, repetition and recovery efficency were studied.
Results:
The linear relationship was y = 1440 x -0.263, r = 0.999, the detection limit was 1.50 x 10(-9) mol/L, the relative deviation between this method and HPLC method was 1.65%.
Conclusion:
The study indicated that this method was viable, and could be used in both scientific research and industrial production.
