Abstract:

In order to explore quality change of Siraitia grosvenorii, confirm the crucial growth stage and the best harvesting season, guide the production of Siraitia grosvenorii according to GAP, and establish a method of quality control, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to analyze the fingerprints of characteristic chemical components in Siraitia grosvenorii at different growth stages. Meanwhile, quality change of Siraitia grosvenorii at different growth stages was investigated through hierarchical cluster analysis and identification of characteristic peaks. Results showed that characteristic chemical components in Siraitia grosvenorii exhibited an obvious difference at various growth stages and different cultivated varieties. Therefore, fingerprinting of characteristic chemical components was an effective and all-directional quality control strategy for traditional Chinese herbal materials and promising application values for the guidance of herbal cultivation.

Key words: Siraitia grosvenorii, chromatogram fingerprint, HPLC, hierarchical cluster analysis
