Background: Metabolomics plays a critical role in deciphering metabolic alterations within individuals, demanding the use of sophisticated analytical methodologies to navigate its intricate complexity. While many studies focus on single biofluid types, simultaneous analysis of multiple matrices enhances understanding of complex biological mechanisms. Consequently, the development of data fusion methods enabling multiblock analysis becomes essential for comprehensive insights into metabolic dynamics.

This paper involves the joint analysis of zeroth-, first- and second-order data measured on a particular environmental system. The main advantage of this methodology is the possibility of analyzing the relationships of the different order data provided by several analytical techniques.

Concentrations of multiple organic compounds were measured in river samples taken from several sampling sites, at various geographical locations, during a number of campaigns and/or sampling time periods. Samples were collected and analyzed as part of an extensive multi-annual monitoring program from a mediterranean river basin (in Catalonia, at the northeast of Spain) by the Water Quality Regional Agency.
