Metabolic discrimination of sea buckthorn from different Hippophae species by ¹H NMR based metabolomics.

ABSTRACT: Sea buckthorn (Hippophaë; Elaeagnaceae) berries are widely consumed in traditional folk medicines, nutraceuticals, and as a source of food. The growing demand of sea buckthorn berries and morphological similarity of Hippophaë species leads to confusions, which might cause misidentification of plants used in natural products. Detailed information and comparison of the complete set of metabolites of different Hippophaë species are critical for their objective identification and quality control. Herein, the variation among seven species and seven subspecies of Hippophaë was studied using proton nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H NMR) metabolomics combined with multivariate data analysis, and the important metabolites were quantified by quantitative ¹H NMR (qNMR) method.
