Objective:
To study the dynamic accumulation of flavonoids in Chrysanthemum morifolium in order to chose the optimal harvest time.
Method:
The flavonoid content was determined in various C. morifolium and in different periods.
Result And Conclusion:
The accumulation of flavonoid in various Chrysanthemum reached a high level when lingulate flowers were in 50% blossom and tube ones in 30% or lingulate flowers were in 70% blossom and tube ones in 50%. Only few of C. morifolium reached a high level of flavonoid, when 1 both ingulate and tube flowers blossomed fully.
