Abstract: Changes of functional components such as asparagus,rutin,saponins of asparagus officinalis were investigated during storage period. The results indicated that asparagus content in asparagus officinalis had a little increase at initial stages and then quickly decreased; rutin and saponins contents reduced distinctly and the content loss was directly related to storage temperature.After storaged at 0~2℃ for 20 days, the components of asparagus,rutin,saponins were 67%, 59.5%,60% compared to each content before storage.
