Abstract: Persimmon leaves are the fresh or dried leaves of the plant in Ebenaeeae Diospyros. Being one of the traditional herbal medicines in China, persimmon leaves have the health care functions of antioxidant, anticancer, antibiosis, preventing and curing of cardiovascular cerebrovascular diseases due to main material bases of polyphenols and flavonids. The determination methods of total polyphenols and flavonoids for persimmon leaf mainly include the titration method, spectrophotometric method, HPLC method and so on. However, these methods have various advantages and disadvantages respectively, and their results show huge differences. So, the key task is to establish and prefect the quantitative analysis methods of polyphenols and flavonids in the leaves of persimmon. The current research status of quantitative analysis methods of polyphenols and flavonids of persimmon leaves are summarized in this paper with the aim to lay foundation for establishing methods which are rapid, simple and accurate.
