title: [Study on Genuineness Recognition of "Jiang Aurantii Fructus" by Analyzing Fingerprint Similarity Using Information Entropy Theory].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the genuineness recognition of traditional Chinese medicine by analyzing fingerprint similarity using information entropy theory, Aurantii Fructus was used as the model drug.
  
  
  METHODS
  Fingerprints of different sources of Aurantii Fructus were analyzed by HPLC. "Jiang Aurantii Fructus" genuineness was evaluated by analyzing fingerprint similarity using information entropy theory and compared with the results of traditional calculated methods.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The new method obviously improved the effect of genuineness recognition of "Jiang Aurantii Fructus".
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This method provides scientific reference for "Jiang Aurantii Fructus" genuineness identification.
