Abstract
To identify and quantify the major antioxidants present in Chrysanthemum zawadskii var. latilobum (C. zawadskii, hereafter), the flowers of C. zawadskii were cut into pieces, extracted with methanol (MeOH), and fractionated by using n-hexane, chloroform ($CHCl_3$), ethyl acetate (EtOAc), n-butanol (n-BuOH), and water. The highest concentration of polyphenol and flavonoid was observed in the EtOAc fraction. Based on ABTS and DPPH methods, highest antioxidative activities of C. zawadskii were found in the EtOAc fraction, in their 81.56% and 68.12% levels, respectively. By using HPLC, we identified two flavonoids: quercetin and luteolin, in the EtOAc fraction, and their contents were 20.02 and 1.65 $mg{\cdot}g^{-1}$, respectively. Our results clearly suggest the presence of these antioxidants in the flower of C. zawadskii, thus it may be consumed as tea with health beneficial effects.
