Purpose: To perform a qualitative and quantitative analysis of catechin and quercetin in flavonoids extracted from Rosa roxburghii Tratt.
Methods: Total flavonoids were determined using ultraviolet spectrophotometry (UV) at 500 nm. The optimal gradient program started with 15 % methanol and was kept within a period of 0 - 20 min, while 25 % methanol was kept within 20 - 33 min. Subsequently, the concentration of methanol was reduced to 15 % and was held for 10 min until the next injection. Mass spectrometry spray voltage was 4,000 V, ionization temperature 350 °C, atomizer pressure 35 psi, nitrogen flow rate 8 L/min, and mass scan range 200 - 800 m/z. The detection wavelength used for catechin and quercetin was 270 and 368 nm, respectively.
Results: Based on the UV results, Rosa roxburghii Tratt content was 73.85 %, which is in agreement with the national standard. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) results indicate that Rosa roxburghii Tratt flavonoids contained quercetin, 34.26 %, with relative standard deviation (RSD) of 2.88 % and catechin content of 2.97 % with RSD of 1.49 %.
Conclusion: The proposed measurement method for determining the content of flavonoids in Rosa roxburghii Tratt has the advantage of simplicity, feasibility, good repeatability, and rapid and accurate analysis.

Obesity-related complications are often driven by chronic inflammation and oxidative stress, exacerbated by aberrant DNA methylation. Natural products with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties may offer therapeutic potential. This study investigated the potential molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of Tratt fermentation broth (RRTFB) on obesity through targeted methylation, while also examining its primary active components and assessing its potential therapeutic value.

Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a chronic liver disease characterized by the excessive accumulation of lipids as a pathological feature. Previous studies have demonstrated that Rosa roxburghii Tratt. fruit vinegar (RFV) played an important role in intervening in obesity and related complications by regulating the intestinal microbiota in high-fat diet mice.

IntroductionDiosbulbin B (DB) has emerged as a potential drug for tumor treatment, but its hepatotoxicity restricts clinical use. The role of autophagy in DB-induced liver damage remains unclear. This study investigates autophagy mechanisms in DB hepatotoxicity and the protective effect of Tratt juice (RRTJ).

Rosa roxburghii Tratt is one of the main cash crops in mountainous areas of Guizhou where production is a large contributor to the income of smallholders. In Guizhou Province, cultivation of R. roxburghii is largely dominated by smallholders employing extensive management practices, which typically results in low yield and economic challenges.

This study aims to investigate the mechanism by which fermented juice (RRFJ) can prevent lipid deposition induced by a high-fat diet in mice. The results showed that mice in the RRFJ intervention group had significantly reduced body weight as well as lower levels of serum and liver lipid indicators compared to the high-fat diet group.
