Development and application of a chemical profiling method for the assessment of the quality and consistency of the Pelargonium sidoides extract

Abstract The evaluation of chemical similarity is very significant for the and standardization quality herbal medicines as biological activity depends on composition proportion many individual components. Many health organizations have recommended profiling consistency medicines. In this study, was performed to evaluate between batches Pelargonium sidoides maltodextrin mixture (PMM) from EPs® 7630, a extract preparation. For profile analysis, 7 common peaks were selected 27 different PMM specificity, linearity, accuracy, precision tests develop analytical method. Pearson correlation coefficients all manufactured over years higher than 0.90, indicating that well ensured years. This method confirms various commercial products using not only but also shows it can be applied quality.
