Polygonatum cyrtonema Hua from five different areas was used as experimental material, total saponins and total flavonoids. Colorimetric analysis method was used to compare those contents. The results showed that the contents of Polygonatum polysaccharides from different areas were in the range of 8.09%~11.78%, whereas the content of total saponins and total flavonoids was quite different, which were 2.73%~5.01% and 0.21%~0.71%, respectively. In general, these Polygonatum samples had higher polysaccharide content with obvious differences for t...
