Abstract:

Objective: The paper is to investigate the changes of the contents of total amino acids, flavonoids and saponins before and
after steaming in Trichosanthis Fructus. Methods: Respectively with L- arginine, quercetin and oleanolic acid as the reference
substance, UV-VIS spectrophotometry was used to determine the contents in 568, 445, 551 nm wavelength of total amino acids,
flavonoids and saponins in Trichosanthis Fructus and its steamed products. Results: Contents of total Amino Acid, Flavonoids and
total saponin in Trichosanthis Fructus and its steamed products were 1.190%, 0.980%, 0.013%, 0.010%,24.260%, and 25.850%.
There existed significant difference in Trichosanthis Fructus(P<0.01 or P<0.05). Conclusion: The contents of total amino acids,
flavonoids and saponins in Trichosanthis Fructus has changed obviously after steaming.

Key words: Trichosanthis Fructus, steamed products of Trichosanthis Fructus, content change
