description Lonicera japonica Thunb is a commonly used Chinese herbal medicine, which belongs to the family Caprifoliaceae. The active components varied greatly during bud development. Research on the variation of the main active components is significant for the timely harvesting and quality control of Lonicera japonica. In this study, the attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) combined with the chemometric method was performed to investigate the variability of different harvesting periods of Lonicera japonica. The preliminary characterization from ATR-FTIR fingerprints showed various characteristic absorption peaks of the main active components from the different harvesting times, such as flavonoids, organic acids, iridoids, and volatile oils. Additionally, principal component analysis (PCA) scatter plots showed that there was a clear clustering trend in the samples of the same harvesting period, and the samples of the different harvesting periods could be well distinguished. Finally, further analysis by the orthogonal partial least-squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) showed that there were regular changes in flavonoids, phenolic acids, iridoids, and volatile oils in different harvesting periods. Therefore, ATR-FTIR, as a novel and convenient analytical method, could be applied to evaluate the quality of Lonicera japonica.
