[Suitable harvest period of Aurantii Fructus based on UPLC-Q-TOF-MS metabolomics].
摘要
The types of secondary metabolites of Aurantii Fructus samples from GAP base in different harvest periods were detected by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS metabolomics, and the differential metabolites were screened out by multivariate statistical analysis. The variation of the content of differential metabolites with different harvest periods was analyzed, and the correlation analysis was carried out on the differential metabolites to determine the suitable harvest period for different components. Sixteen differential metabolites were obtained. With the delay of harvest time, the content of flavonoid glycosides, including naringin, neohesperidin, poncirin, narirutin, and hesperidin, gradually decreased. It is suggested that the suitable harvest period for raw materials of Aurantii Fructus with flavonoids as active components is from July 18 to July 25(within one week before and after the Great heat). The content of nobiletin, tangeretin, natsudaidain, 7-hydroxyl-4',3,5,6,8-pentamethoxyflavone, sinensetin, isosinensetin, 5,6,7,4'-tetramethoxyflavone, and isomeranzin decreased first, then increased, and finally decreased. It is suggested that the suitable harvest time for raw materials of Aurantii Fructus with these components as the active components is July 18. The content changes of meranzin, limonin, and 3,5,6,7,8,3',4'-heptamethoxyflavone have their characteristics. According to the conditions of actual production, it is suggested that the suitable harvest time is June 27, July 11, and July 25, respectively. The results showed that there were differences in the content of chemical components of Aurantii Fructus in different harvest periods, and the suitable harvest period should be determined according to the differences in chemical component content. This study is expected to provide a scientific basis for the purchase of raw materials of Aurantii Fructus for Chinese patent medicines with different effects.
