Abstract

Triterpenoids, as an important family of plant secondary metabolites, have important biological activities associated with health and disease prevention. In this work, we proposed a HPLC-MS method for profiling multiple groups of triterpenoid acids and triterpenoid esters differing only in one position of the hydroxyl or methyl group in O. fragrans fruits. A total of thirty-one compounds were identified, and twenty-seven components were discovered in O. fragrans fruits for the first time. The HPLC-MS profiling method was applied in the analysis of the triterpenoids of O. fragrans flowers, and the time courses of triterpenoids of O. fragrans fruits.
