Abstract: 【Objective】This study aimed to determine 11 flavonoids in 10 pummelos and pummelo hybrids fruits and analyze flavonoids types and content in varieties of fruits by ultra performance liquid chromatograph (UPLC) method.【Method】The separation was carried on a ACQUITY UPLC BEH C18 (2.1 mm×100 mm,1.7 μm, column temperature 35℃). Methanol (A)/0.1% formic acid/water (B) mixture was used as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.3 mL•min-1 through gradient elution: (1) 0-5 min, 90%-80% A; (2) 5-10 min, 80%-30% A; (3) 10-15 min, 30%-20% A; (4) 15-16 min, 20%-90% A. 【Result】 The flavonoids types and content in citrus fruit depend on genetic genotypes. Naringin is a major flavonoid in pummel. Naringin and neohesperidin are major flavonoids in grapefruit. Naringin content is higher in Riored fruit (Peel: 27.5 mg•g-1 DW, Pulp: 2.73 mg•g-1 DW) and neohesperidin content is higher in Cocktail (Peel: 14.93 mg•g-1 DW, Pulp: 0.70 mg•g-1 DW). The accumulation of flavonoids in hybrid fruits were affected by their parents.【Conclusion】UPLC method was effective in qualitative and quantitative analysis of flavonoids in citrus fruits. The flavonoids were abundant in pummelo fruits and the difference of flavonoids composition in diverse citrus fruits was significant.
