Objective: To investigate the effect of different processing methods on the content of luteolin-7-O-beta-D-glucoside, acacetin-7-O-beta-D-glucoside, luteolin, and acacetin of Dendranthema morifolium.
Methods: The optimal conditions were achieved on phenomenex, synergi Fusion-RP (5 microm, 4.6 mm x 250 mm)analytical column with a gradient mobile phase consisting of methanol and 0.1% phosphoric acid and detection wavelength set at 350 nm.
Results: The significant effect of different processing methods on the content of luteolin-7-O-beta-D-glucoside, acacetin-7-O-beta-D-glucoside, luteolin and acacetin was proved.
Conclusion: Different processing methods have significant effect on flavonoids of Dendranthema morifolium, it should be paid attention to drying temperature while sulphur fumigation.
