OBJECTIVE: To determine the contents of the main active constituents in Aurantii Fructus from Jiangxi at different harvest time and make sure the best harvest time. METHODS: RP-HPLC was used to assay the active constituents (including naringin, neohesperidin, synephrine, nobiletin, tangeretin, meranzin hydrate, meranzin, marmin and auraptene) contents in the Aurantii Fructus at different harvest periods from Xingan and Zhangshu countries. RESULTS: The trend of the contents of those active constituents was basically decreased as the day trailing. CONCLUSION: The best harvest time of Aurantii Fructus from Jiangxi is about the Great Heat.
