Reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) was used for the simultaneous determination of liquiritin (LQ), glycyrrhizic acid (GA) and glabridin from licorice. An optimized run condition was selected with a binary gradient elution of methanol-water which ramped 35/65 to 80/20 (vol. %) in 0.0- 8.0 min and a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. A good linearity was obtained between 0.2 mg/mL and 1.0 mg/mL for LQ and GA, and 0.01 mg/mL-0.2 mg/mL for glabridin with the relative standard deviations less than 0.90% (n=5). The developed method was successfully applied to determination of the three components from licorice samples. The mean recoveries of three components are 80.79% for liquiritin, 89.71% for glycyrrhizic acid and 72.50% for glabridin.
