A consensus industrial reference was necessary to be established for meeting the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s current Good Manufacturing Practice Compliance for the manufacture and quality control of dietary ingredients and supplements that contain ginger rhizome, dry extract, and/or purified nonvolatile ginger constituents. An analytical method has been developed, validated, and previously published for identifying and quantifying 6-,8- and 10-gingerols, 6-, 8- and 10-shogaols, 6-paradol, and zingerone. HPLC with UV-Vis detector was used for the determination of nonvolatile ginger constituents by following AOAC Guidelines for Single-Laboratory Validation. Sample was accurately weighed and diluted with acidified water and methanol mixture. The sample solution was then sonicated and filtered through a PTFE filter and analyzed under a linear gradient scheme instrument condition. A reverse-phase superficially porous particle C18 column and an absorption wavelength of 230 nm were used for analyte separation and determination. The method was demonstrated to be selective, linear (R2 > 0.999), specific, accurate (91.1–103.2% spike recovery rate), and precise (RSDr < 5%, RSDR < 8%) and therefore met all AOAC Standard Method Performance Requirements (2017.012) criteria. With a relatively short run time (12 min) and optimized extraction solvent system, the method has been validated to simultaneously determine nonvolatile ginger constituents in a variety of dietary ingredients and dietary supplements matrices including dry extract, powder, tablet, capsule, liquid capsule, softgel capsule, and oleoresin.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
