Abstract:  In this paper, a double-wavelength spectrophotometry was applied to assay the total flavonoids in black corn pollen. The detective wavelength was 510 nm ,while the reference one was 584 nm, and the recovery rate was 98.14%, with RSD=1.24% (n=5).The results indicated that the average total flavonoids content in black corn pollen was 3.53%, and the method was stable, reliable and accurate in the assay process.

Key words: black corn pollen, total flavonoids, double-wavelength spectrophotometry
