Diversity of the non-targeted metabolomic data across various varieties of Cloves (Syzygium spp.)

Cloves (<i>Syzygium aromaticum</i>), a tree in the Myrtaceae family, are indigenous to the Maluku Islands in Indonesia and are widely utilized as a spice. Essential oils are commonly extracted from clove leaves, flower buds, and stalks. However, due to supply constraints, other clove species, notably <i>Syzygium obtusifolium</i>, are sometimes used as substitutes, leading to lower-grade essential oils. Here, we employed a non-targeted mass-spectrometry-based metabolomics approach to characterize the metabolic profiles of leaves from ten clove varieties, including <i>S. obtusifolium</i>. We identified and quantified 427 metabolites across various metabolic pathways. The metabolomics data for all samples are publicly available at the Figshare repository under 10.6084/m9.figshare.27212016.
