Abstract:Objective: This paper describes the intrinsic viscosity difference of Gardenia extract treated with pectinase. Method: The intrinsic viscosity analysis was carried out on an Ubbelohde viscometer to determine the change after treated with different relatively density, amount of pectinase, time, temperature, etc. And the changes of geniposide, genipin-1-β-D-gentiobioside and deacetyl-asperulosidic acid methyl ester were also detremined respectively. Conclusion: Pectinase brought about the change of content of geniposide, genipin-1-β-D-gentiobioside and deacetyl-asperulosidic acid methyl ester, the maximum change rate of them was genipin-1-β-D-gentiobioside.
