A reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for determination of tea saponin extracted from tea-seed pancake with Soxhlet was studied. With the column VP-ODS (250 mm×4.6 mm, C18, 5μm) and mobile phase methanol-water (v:v=9:1) at flow-rate of 1.0 mL/min, a linear equation was obtained as Y=3.02×10^6X-1.16×10^4, where Y represents peak area and X represents mass concentration. Linear correlation coefficient r was 0.999 5. Under these conditions, ...
