Keywords: Seventeen commercial chrysanthemum teas (Chrysanthemum morifolium and Coreopsis tinctoria) were extracted
Chrysanthemum tea with hot-H2O, and examined and compared to the 75% methanol extracts for their chemical compositions using
Chemical composition UPLC/Q-TOF-MS analysis. For the first time, 6, 8-C,C-diglucosylapigenin and eriodicyol-7-O-glucoside were

Antioxidant
extracts were also examined for their radical scavenging and anti-inflammatory activities in vitro. The hot-H2O
extract of Kunlunmiju 1 had the greatest total phenolic content, and relative DPPH and oxygen radical absor-
bance capacity values of 12.72 mg gallic acid equivalents/g, 105.48 and 1222.50 μmol Trolox equivalents/g,
respectively. In addition, all the hot-H2O extracts suppressed the lipopolysaccharide-induced interleukin-6, IL-1β
and cyclooxygenase-2 mRNA expressions, and H2O2-induced intracellular reactive oxygen species production in
cultured cells. The results from this research may be used to promote the consumption of chrysanthemum as a
functional tea.
