A number of methods for the preparation, extraction and HPLC analysis of saffron were evaluated to determine a reliable method for quantifying safranal and crocin in Crocus sativus L. stigma tissues. Samples of saffron from Kashmir India have been chosen to use in this experiment. A simple, sensitive and specific High Performance Liquid Chromatography has been chosen to be analyzing the safranal and crocin in stigma of saffron. There are four different methods that have been used in this experiment. In method l,sample were extracted by acetonitrile and water, in method 2,sample were extracted by ethanol and water, in method 3,sample were extracted acetonitrile and water but vaporized using rotary evaporator unit and in method 4,the sample have been extracted by ethanol and water followed evaporation by rotary evaporator unit. Preparation methods such as heating stigmas at 80°C for 30 min prior to extraction and followed by immediate HPLC analysis increased the concentration of safranal and crocin several fold compared to stigmas which had been prepared by freeze drying.
