Reversed-phase-HPLC analysis by means of superficially porous silica particle columns (fused-core) was applied to the investigation of flavonoids, coumarins, and psoralens in lime juice samples. Hesperidin (367.0 ± 16.0 ppm) and eriocitrin (148.0 ± 7.9 ppm) were the most abundant flavonoids. Fifteen coumarins and furocoumarins were determined, including bergamottin (29.6 ± 1.1 ppm), 5-geranyloxy-7-methoxycoumarin (16.5 ± 0.6 ppm), and oxypeucedanin hydrate (9.9 ± 0.5 ppm) as predominant compounds. These molecules are today well known for their beneficial effects on human health. As a consequence, the present study, beyond investigating for the first time the chemical composition of lime juice, highlights also its health-promoting qualities, due to its content of flavonoids and coumarins.
采用表面多孔硅胶颗粒柱（熔核）的反相高效液相色谱分析法，对酸橙汁样品中的黄酮类化合物、香豆素和补骨脂素进行了研究。橙皮苷（367.0±16.0 ppm）和圣草枸橼苷（148.0±7.9 ppm）是含量最丰富的黄酮类化合物。测定了15种香豆素和呋喃香豆素，其中含量较高的化合物包括佛手柑内酯（29.6±1.1 ppm）、5- geranyloxy-7-甲氧基香豆素（16.5±0.6 ppm）和氧化前胡素水合物（9.9±0.5 ppm）。如今，这些分子因其对人体健康的有益作用而广为人知。因此，本研究除了首次对酸橙汁的化学成分进行研究外，还因其黄酮类化合物和香豆素的含量突出了其促进健康的品质。
