      TLC image analysis for determination of the piperine content of the traditional medicinal preparations of Bhutan
      P. SAMTEN, P. WETWITAYAKLUNG, N. KITCHAROEN, U. SOTANAPHUN* (*Silpakorn Univ. Dep. of Pharmacognosy, Nakhon-pathom 73000, Thailand)

      Acta Chromatographica 22 (2), 227-236 (2010), DOI:10.1556/AChrom.22.2010.2.6. TLC of piperine, the bioactive constituent of black pepper (Piper nigrum), on silica gel with dichloromethane – ethyl acetate 9:1 at 30 °C in a twin-trough chamber saturated for 30 min. Detection under UV light at 254 nm and documentation with a digital camera. Based on the image a density profile plot was established by Scion Image software, which allowed to calculate the concentration of piperine by comparison of the peak areas of samples and piperine standards. The linearity was in the range of 24-84 ng/zone (r2=0.9927). The limits of detection and quantitation were 0.35 and 1.05 ng/zone, respectively. Precision (repeatability, n=6) and intermediate precision (2 days, n=12) both are below 2.6 %RSD. Recovery is between 96.7-101.4 %.
