Introduction: Traditional herbal medicines are mostly composed of more than one herb which act synergistically; hence, there is high demand for proper quality control methods to ensure the consistent quality of polyherbal formulations.
Aims: Proposing a simple, reliable, and efficient method for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of a polyherbal product using multivariate analysis of ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy or HPLC-PDA data.
Methodology: An antiobesity formula consisting of equal proportions of Trachyspermum ammi, Cuminum cyminum, and Origanum majorana was prepared as well as spiked with one of each herb simultaneously, representing accepted and unaccepted samples.
Article Synopsis
- A model was created to authenticate Yemeni Sidr honey using UV spectroscopy combined with chemometric methods such as hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), principal component analysis (PCA), and soft independent modeling of class analogy (SIMCA).
- The model was developed with 13 genuine Sidr honey samples and tested against 25 honey samples from various sources, successfully distinguishing authentic Sidr from lower-cost alternatives.
- The SIMCA method accurately identified genuine Sidr honey and detected mixtures with cheaper honeys at levels greater than 10%, offering a simple and effective approach that could be applied to authenticate other honey types globally.
