\n\tQuality Control of Herbal Medicines by Techniques of Fingerprint and Chemical Markers

\n\tQuality Control of herbal medicines aims to ensure its quality, safety and efficacy. Chemical fingerprint and Chemical markers - powerful techniques for the quality control of herbal medicines. The current approaches to the quality control of herbal medicines are either marker component -based approach or pattern - based approach. The marker component - based approach uses specific chemical compounds with known molecular structures, while the pattern - based approach uses both chemical compounds with known structures and total chromatogram with partial spectrum or chemical informations e.g. retention times, mass spectra and ultraviolet spectra…

\n\tLack of chemical markers remains a major problem for the quality control of herbal medicines.

\n\tAmong all the advanced techniques, multipattern based- approach will have a great potential for further development.
