Recovery
(99.79–102.13%), precision (intra-and inter run, 0.19–0.40 and
0.61–1.01%,) and accuracy (intra-and inter run, 101.1–101.6
and 99.13–109.3%) indicated that this direct assay method is
adequate to quantify the total cordyceps carotenoids from
the extracts in the presence of other chemical components.
