Leaves of each of two bayberry cultivars, Biqi and Dongkui, were divided into three categories by age, namely immature, intermediate, and mature. Phenolic compounds were analysed by the methods of HPLC-DAD and HPLC-UV-ESIMS. Gallic acid and EGCG were identified positively, and 13 other compounds (flavan-3-ol monomers, prodelphinidin oligomers, and flavonol glycosides) were partially identified. Gallic acid (7.5-87.8 mg/100 g) was the only phenolic acid detected and flavan-3-ols were abundant. Myricetin deoxyhexoside (535.4-853.0 mg/100 g) was the major flavonol glycoside. Among the three categories, immature leaves of both cultivars recorded the highest level of total phenolics, irrespective of whether they were measured by the Folin-Ciocalteu method (19404.0 mg/100 g in Biqi and 19626.0 mg/100 g in Dongkui) or as the sum of individual phenolic compounds (2255.9 mg/100 g in Biqi and 1797.1 mg/100 g in Dongkui). The results showed that bayberry leaves are a potentially rich source of beneficial phenolics. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
