Comparative chemical characters of Pseudostellaria heterophylla from geographical origins of China

Non-destructive identification of Pseudostellaria heterophylla from different geographical origins by Vis/NIR and SWIR hyperspectral imaging techniques

“…Compared with other origins, the levels of pseudostellarin D, pseudostellarin E, pesudostellarin A, heterophyllin A, pseudostellarin F, isobutyrylglycine in P. heterophylla from Fujian were higher. Sucrose, ferulic acid, canthaxanthin, maltotriose, pseudostellarin D in P. heterophylla from Guizhou were richer than those of other origins ( Sha et al., 2023 ). Hence, it is reasonable to hypothesize that spectral differences resulting from variations in chemical composition, rather than color and pigmentation information, may play a crucial role in studying the traceability of the origin of Pseudostellaria heterophylla .…”

Analysis of GC × GC fingerprints from medicinal materials using a novel contour detection algorithm: A case of Curcuma wenyujin

“…Over the past two decades, the fingerprinting strategy has emerged as a practical approach for assessing the quality of medicinal materials [ [11] , [12] , [13] , [14] , [15] , [16] ]. Nonetheless, relying solely on one-dimensional (1D) separation techniques for natural products leads to issues such as co-elution of similar compounds and challenges in detecting trace compounds.…”

Comprehensive summary of material basis − Laying a foundation for substances of medicine food homology development

“…This process also guided the development of the TCM discipline. The concept of substances of medicine food homology (SMFH) was introduced by TCM researchers with the hope of minimizing health risks by keeping health maintenance at the daily stage ( Liu et al, 2024 , Liu et al, 2024 , Sha et al, 2023 ). At present, the research of SMFH is sweeping the world, and the discovery of active substances with health care or therapeutic effects from natural plants has attracted more and more attention.…”
