Abstract
Quality control of natural product medicine and nutrient supplements 2014.
Highlights
This special issue has been driven from the editors’ hope that the readers will be able to obtain different kinds of knowledge on natural products from many contributors
As extraction procedures and ingredients of natural products are a permanently demanding challenge for the analytical chemist, highly efficient techniques to handle the problems associated with sample preparation, separation, and identification have been applied to reduce the complexity of plant materials in this issue
With the development of stationary phases allowing endless possibilities in terms of selectivity, analytical platforms including long-term enhanced ultraviolet-B (UVB) spectroscopy, FI-NIR based imaging, doubly charged selected ion coupled with mass spectrometry, and liquid chromatography-ultraviolet detection coupled with electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-UV-ESI-Q/TOF/MS) have been established to profile and characterize plant materials and/or their extractives
Summary
This special issue has been driven from the editors’ hope that the readers will be able to obtain different kinds of knowledge on natural products from many contributors. It is very important to promote a full and open discussion on quality control of nature medicine products and nutrient supplements for consumers and professionals. Studies on natural products are challenging by several reasons [6,7,8,9].
