Kavalactones & Kavains Test

Method Description

The Determination of Kavalactones and Kavains by Liquid Chromatography with Diode Array Detection (LC-DAD) involves extracting these bioactive compounds from kava plant samples. Using a specialized liquid chromatograph, the separation of individual components is achieved, and a diode array detector precisely identifies and quantifies Kavalactones and Kavains based on their unique absorption spectra. This method is crucial for assessing the quality and potency of kava products, commonly used in traditional medicine and dietary supplements. LC-DAD provides a reliable means for monitoring the concentrations of these pharmacologically active constituents, contributing to the safety and efficacy of kava-containing products in the herbal and nutraceutical industries.
