Qualitative and quantitative composition of FFBJ and FFOJ were determined using previously described protocol [21 (link), 22 (link)]. Briefly, both FFBJ and FFOJ were solubilized in methanol to a concentration of 1 mg/mL−1, ultrasonicated and filtered through a 0.2 μm nylon membrane (Millipore, Milan, Italy), and then injected into a UHPLC coupled online to an LCMS-IT-TOF mass spectrometer (Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan). Identification of flavonoids was carried out on the basis of diode array spectra, MS molecular ions, and MS/MS fragmentation patterns. Data obtained were compared with those available in scientific literature. Molecular formulae were calculated by the Formula Predictor software (Shimadzu).
