Species authentication and geographical origin discrimination of herbal medicines by near infrared spectroscopy: A review

Open access
Wang, Pei, Yu, Zhiguo·2015·Journal of Pharmaceutical Analysis

Abstract

Near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy as a rapid and nondestructive analytical technique, integrated with chemometrics, is a powerful process analytical tool for the pharmaceutical industry and is becoming an attractive complementary technique for herbal medicine analysis. This review mainly focuses on the recent applications of NIR spectroscopy in species authentication of herbal medicines and their geographical origin discrimination.

  • FT-NIR metabolic fingerprinting has recently been used to identify the geographic origin of herbal medicines.

    “Recently, FT-NIR metabolic fingerprinting has been used to identify the geographic origin of herbal medicines [3,16].”

    From Rapid metabolic fingerprinting with the aid of chemometric models to identify authenticity of natural medicines: Turmeric, Ocimum, and Withania somnifera study (2023) · cites this paper as [3]

    The Introduction (page unavailable) describes NIR spectroscopy as capable of fingerprinting analysis to distinguish the geographical origins of herbal medicines, and the selected-applications section reports examples. The copy does not establish that the methods used were specifically FT-NIR or call them metabolic fingerprinting. (LLM, conf=0.83)

  • Geographic indication is a major consideration for the overall quality of turmeric.

    “Geographic indication (GI) is a major consideration for the overall quality of this natural medicine [3,16].”

    From Rapid metabolic fingerprinting with the aid of chemometric models to identify authenticity of natural medicines: Turmeric, Ocimum, and Withania somnifera study (2023) · cites this paper as [3]

    The Introduction (page unavailable) identifies turmeric as a herbal medicine and says geographical growing conditions can affect the quality and efficacy of herbal medicines. It does not make a turmeric-specific finding or discuss geographical indication (GI) as a designation, so it supports the general quality consideration but not the claim’s full specificity. (LLM, conf=0.82)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
