OBJECTIVE: To determine the content of shionone in Radix Aster from several different locations and markets. METHOD: The HPLC analysis was used to determine shionone directly, using Polaris C18 column and acetonitrile as the mobile phase with a flow rate of 1.0 mL.min-1, and the UV detection wavelength was 200 nm. RESULT AND CONCLUSION: The content of shionone was from 0.06% to 0.18%, depending on different locations and markets.
