Abstract: Chrysanthemum has great medicinal value and its infusion can also be drunk and is very popular in China. Chlorogenic acid and total flavonoids are important components in Chrysanthemum. The contents of total flavonoids and chlorogenic acid in Chrysanthemum were measured by HPLC in this study. We found that after infusing 2 g of Chrysanthemum in 120 mL of 100 ℃ water for 15 min once, both the contents of total flavonoids and chlorogenic acid in the obtained infusion reached maximum.

Key words: chlorogenic acid, Chrysanthemum tea, infusing, total flavonoids
