A method to determine alkylphenols in Ginkgo biloba sarcotesta, especially focusing on polyunsaturated ginkgolic acid components, was developed on the basis of thermochemolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry with a DB-23 column in the presence of trimethylsulfonium hydroxide [(CH3)(3)SOH]. By using this technique, powder sample of Ginkgo biloba sarcotesta can be directly analyzed without any tedious and time-consuming pretreatment. On the resulting chromatograms, seven kinds of ginkgolic acids including polyunsaturated ginkgolic acid GA17:2 and two kinds of ginkgols were clearly observed as their methyl derivative. Based on the peak areas, the ginkgolic acid compositions are in good agreement with these obtained by a high-performance liquid chromatography method dedicated to analysis of ginkgolic acid.
