Abstract

Metabolomics has become an important tool in many research areas like drug discovery, diseases and nutrition, plant physiology, food quality and authenticity assessment, biomarker discovery, environmental and biological-stress studies, functional genomics, integrative systems biology, etc. It can be targeted or non-targeted. Metabolomics has been used as a vast tool for the investigation and quality measurement and assessment of natural products derived from plant and its parts. However, metabolite profiling in crude extracts is not an easy work as natural materials show a very diverse form of structure. It makes use of various analytical techniques like LC-QTOF-MS, GC-QTOF-MS, UPLC-QTOFMS, LC-ESI-QTOF/MS. In the present review, an attempt has been done to enlist metabolic profiling of 50 medicinal plants, along with their part, solvent used and number of bioactive compounds identified. Its various uses have also been discussed.
