OBJECTIVE: To establish a method for simultaneous determination of eugenol and thymol in mummification pastes. METHODS: HPLC method was adopted. The determination was performed on Wonda Cract C18 column with mobile phase consisted of methanol-0.2% phosphoric acid (gradient elution) at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The detection wavelength was 274 nm, and column temperature was set at 25 ℃. The sample size was 10 μL. RESULTS: The linear ranges of eugenol and thymol were 0.02-0.19 mg/mL (r=0.999 7) and 0.03-0.30 mg/mL (r=0.999 6). RSDs of precision, stability and reproducibility tests were all lower than 2.0%. The recoveries were 95.85%-99.84%(RSD=1.11%,n=9) and 95.81%-100.91%(RSD=1.59%,n=9). CONCLUSIONS: The method is simple and accurate, and can be applied to simultaneous determination of eugenol and thymol in mummification pastes.
