The ginkgo flavonglycosides (ginkgo flavone

quercetin, kaempferol and isorhamnetin are
the phytochemicals most often referred to as
indicators of quality and efficacy.

Spectrometry (MS). MediHerb uses ELSD detection to
accurately quantify the levels of these clinically C13:0 C17:1
important phytochemicals. The other important group
of phytochemicals from Ginkgo are the ginkgolic acids
(C13:0, C15:1 and C17:1 on the third figure). These LC – ELSD detection of bilobalide and ginkgolides
compounds have been identified as contact allergens.
The maximum level of ginkgolic acids in Ginkgo biloba Ginkgolic acids by HPLC Ginkgolides

extracts has been set by the European authorities at 5
ppm. Many poor quality extracts contain levels of C15:1
ginkgolic acids which are many orders of magnitude
higher than this recommended maximum.
