Comparative Study on the Quality of Yuye Jinhua(Mussaenda pubescens Ait.f)from Different Producing Areas
Objective:To compare the quality of Yuye Jinhua(Mussaenda pubescens Ait.f)from Taoyuan,Hunan,Yulin,Guangxi and Maoming,Guangdong.Methods:The Quality of Yuye Jinhua(Mussaenda pubescens Ait.f)was identified by means of morphological identification,thin-layer identification,microscopic identification,physicochemical identification and content determination,according to the quality standard of Yuye Jinhua(Mussaenda pubescens Ait.f)from different producing areas.Results:In terms of thin-layer identification,physicochemical identification and microscopic identification,there were little differences among the Yuye Jinhua(Mussaenda pubescens Ait.f)from three producing areas.And there were slight differences in the appearance characteristics of the leaves.The Yuye Jinhua(Mussaenda pubescens Ait.f)from Hunan Taoyuan showed lowest total content of neo-chlorogenic acid,chlorogenic acid,cryptochlorogenic acid,isochlorogenic acid A,isochlorogenic acid B and isochlorogenic acid C,which was 0.598%.But Yuye Jinhua(Mussaenda pubescens Ait.f)from Guangxi Yulin and Guangdong Maoming showed higher total content of these components,and the values were 0.986%and 1.098%respectively.Conclusion:Quality comparison of Yuye Jinhua(Mussaenda pubescens Ait.f)from the three places,can provide reference for the identification,planting and quality evaluation of Yuye Jinhua(Mussaenda pubescens Ait.f).
