Abstract

Nine species of Ilex plants with similar maturity stages were selected for the study, and their fruits were used as materials to determine 10 indicators, including color, flavonoid content, and physical properties of the fruits. Correlation analysis was conducted on indicators such as color and flavonoid content. The results showed that the holly species had the highest flavonoid content.
