Abstract
Objective: A rapid, simple, and reliable method, flow-injection mass spectrometric (FIMS) fingerprinting method, was developed to discriminate between the two major Echinacea species (E. purpurea and E. angustifolia) samples and the aerial and root portions of E. purpurea.
Methods: Fifty-eight Echinacea samples collected from United States were analyzed using FIMS. Principle component analysis (PCA) and soft independent modeling of class analogy (SIMCA) were used to process the FIMS data.
Key Findings: The results showed that the FIMS fingerprinting technique (1 min per sample) successfully discriminated between the two Echinacea species and aerial and root plant components. The FIMS method also identified cichoric acid, caftaric acid, echinacoside, and some sugars as the components contributing most significantly in differentiating the two Echinacea species as well as the aerial and root parts.
Keywords: Echinacea, flow-injection, mass spectrometry, PCA, SIMCA.

Recent Advances in Biotransformation of Bioactive Terpenoids using Aspergillus niger
Biotransformation is the reaction catalyzed by biological catalysts of either isolated enzymes or whole cell cultures of microorganisms. This process has been extensively applied in the conversion of bioactive terpenoids with high regio- and stereospecifity. This process has been also applied in the lead discovery and development. Aspergillus niger has ...read more
