Kava Chemotype
Fitness for Purpose As Agreed September 22, 2017
The method identifies and quantifies the six primary kavalactones derived from the underground portions of kava ( Piper methysticum ), namely desmethoxyangonin, dihydrokavain, yangonin, kavain, dihydromethysticin, and methysticin in plant material, dietary ingredients and dietary supplements. The method identifies and quantifies flavokavains A, B, and C in kava plant material, dietary supplements and dietary ingredients. Test results can be used in chemotype identification but this specific determination is outside the method scope. Individual kavalactones should be quantifiable within the range of 0.1 to 50 percent by weight in forms that include liquid, soft, and dry extracts as well as in softgels, capsules, and tablets in the presence of common excipients. The ability to address kavalactones in beverages is an advantage but not a requirement. No limit on analysis time is imposed.”
