A reversed-phase HPLC method for the separation and determination of the two flavonoids: quercetin and kaempferol is described. The column was 25 cm x 4.6 mm i.d., packed with Zorbax SB-C18(5 microns). The mobile phase was a mixture of MeOH-H2O (60:40, V/V). The flow rate was 0.7 mL/min. UV detection was performed at 360 nm. External standard was used and the calibration curves showed good linearity over the range of 6.0-100 mg/L, r = 0.9995-0.9998, and detection limits were 3.3-6.2 mg/L. The recoveries were 96.0% and 97.3% for quercetin and kaempferol respectively. The relative standard deviations of the method were 2.1%-4.5%. The method is simple, fast, sensitive and accurate and can be applied to the analysis of quercetin and kaempferol. It provides a scientific basis for industrial production and quality control of Jinjuan liquor preparations for clinical uses.
