CHEMICAL DIFFERENTIATION BETWEEN BACCHARIS TRIMERA (LESS.) DC AND BACCHARIS MICROCEPHALA (LESS.) DC USING UNTARGETED METABOLOMIC ANALYSIS
This study used untargeted metabolomics and mass spectrometry to chemically distinguish Baccharis trimera from Baccharis microcephala, identifying a unique triterpene marker (m/z 597.4505) for quality control of B. trimera. The findings provide a practical approach for species differentiation and improved quality assurance in the use of B. trimera for gastrointestinal treatments.
