therapeutically active ingredients are believed to include the ginkgolides and bilobalide, which cannot betested by normal HPLC methods. They require more sophisticated methods of detection such asRefractive Index (RI), Evaporative Light Scattering Detectors (ELSDs) or Mass Spectrometry (MS).MediHerb uses ELSD detection to accurately quantify the levels of these therapeutically importantphytochemicals. The other important group of phytochemicals from Ginkgo are the ginkgolic acids (C13:0,C15:1 and C17:1 on the third figure). These compounds have been identified as contact allergens. Themaximum level of ginkgolic acids in Ginkgo biloba extracts has been set by the European authorities at 5ppm. Many poor quality extracts contain levels of ginkgolic acids many orders of magnitude higher thanthis recommended maximum.
