Quality assessment of traditional herbal medicines is of benefit not only in research but also in practice. The
method of quality assessment of the Thai traditional medicine, Ayurved Siriraj Prasachandaeng, was established by using
High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) and High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). In
HPTLC, the chromatographic fingerprints were developed; the color and the relative retardation factor (rRf) of bands were
compared with those of reference markers. Likewise, relative retention time (rRt), and applied information content (φ) were
evaluated in HPLC fingerprints. Reference markers, gallic acid, caffeic acid, p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, vanillic acid and
kojic acid were used as qualitative markers in HPTLC whereas gallic acid, caffeic acid and vanillic acid were used as
qualitative and quantitative markers in HPLC. Similarity of the chromatographic pattern among batches was determined by
the presence of stated mathematic parameters in the range of 80 to 125 percent of the average. The HPTLC and HPLC
fingerprints of three batches of Ayurved Siriraj Prasachandaeng showed similar chromatographic patterns. Such similarity
showed that the productions of different batches in the recipe were consistent. Moreover, it revealed that some markers
found in the recipe certainly came from various medicinal herbal components of their own recipes. In conclusion, the
combination of rRf from HPTLC, and rRt and φ from HPLC is the suitable method for identification and quality control of
different batches of Ayurved Siriraj Prasachandaeng.
