Finally, HPLC quantitative analysis methods for nine components were established, including seven differential markers (neochlorogenic acid, protocatechualdehyde, chlorogenic acid, cryptochlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, rosmarinic acid and salvianolic acid A). The results of HPLC quantitative analysis showed that the contents of eight components in HMYG and HMYC samples were significantly different.
