UHPLC-HRMS/MS on untargeted metabolomics: a case study with Copaifera (Fabaceae).

ABSTRACT: Untargeted metabolomics is a powerful tool in chemical fingerprinting. It can be applied in phytochemistry to aid species identification, systematic studies and quality control of bioproducts. This approach aims to produce as much chemical information as possible, without focusing on any specific chemical class, thus, requiring extensive chemometric effort. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibly of an untargeted metabolomics method in phytochemistry by a study case of the Copaifera genus (Fabaceae). This genus contains significant medicinal species used worldwidely. Copaifera exploitation issues include a lack of chemical data, ambiguous species identification methods and absence of quality control for its bioproducts. Different organs of five Copaifera species were
