Metabolic profiling and discrimination of Cymbopogon species using direct analysis real time mass spectrometry and principal component analysis

چکیده
Several Cymbopogon species such as C. citratus, C. flexuosus, C. nardus and C. khasianus×C. pendulus are extensively used for flavors, fragrance and as folk medicines worldwide due to their volatile essential oils (VEOs). Direct analysis in real time mass spectrometry (DART-MS) method was developed for identification of VEOs from the intact plant parts of ten Cymbopogon species. Total sixteen compounds including VEOs, phenolics and flavonoids were tentatively identified on the basis of their exact mass measurement and molecular formula using DART-MS chemical fingerprint of C. citratus, C. citronella, C. flexuosus, C. pendulus, C. commutatus, Cymbopogon. jwarancusa, C. nardus, C. khasianus, C. jwarancusa× C. nardus and C. khasianus× C. pendulus. DART-MS data was analyzed by principal component analysis and 19 marker peaks were identified which can discriminate among these selected Cymbopogon species. C. citratus, C. jwarancusa, C. commutatus, C. khasianus and C. jwarancusa×C. nardus were approximately overlapping each other while C. flexuosus, C. nardus and C. khasianus×C. pendulus were closer to each other whereas C. pendulus and C. citronella were much apart from all the species. The identified marker peaks could be used for authentication, discrimination and quality control of Cymbopogon species.

Rapid screening for the adulterants of Berberis aristata using direct analysis in real-time mass spectrometry and principal component analysis for discrimination.
Adulteration or substitution of commercial Berberis aristata and its herbal products with inferior-quality substituents is very common. Metabolic profiling of B. aristata, along with its common adulterants/contaminants/substituents such as B. asiatica, Mahonia borealis and Coscinium fenestratum, was rapidly carried out using direct analysis in real-time mass spectrometry (DART MS) to generate t...

ABSTRACT- Firmness is one of the most important quality indicators for apple fruits, which is highly correlated with the storage time. The acoustic impulse response technique is one of the most commonly used nondestructive detection methods for evaluating apple firmness. This paper presents a non-destructive method for classification of Iranian apple (Malus domestica Borkh. cv. Golab) according...
