Application of overlapping ratio to fingerprints of green tea and tea polyphenols / 中成药

ABSTRACT

AIM: To discuss the application of overlapping ratio to the fingerprints of plant and plant extract. METHODS: We took the HPLC fingerprints of green tea and tea polyphenols for decision procedure. RESULTS: Overlapping ratio could be applied to selecting representative samples for characteristic fingerprints of green tea and tea polyphenols,and could be used to deduce the raw material,process and producer of tea polyphenols.(CONCLUSION:) Overlapping ratio can be used to choose the suitable samples for establishing the characteristic fingerprint spectrum,and can supply references to relationship investigation among products,raw material and process.
