Antioxidant Activity and Metabolite Profiling of Extracts Using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry.

The potential application of , a mangrove species, as traditional medicine has been widely linked to its high secondary metabolite and antioxidant contents. However, few studies have been reported to identify and classify active metabolites responsible for such excellent biological activities. Therefore, the aim of this work was to determine the antioxidant activity, identify the metabolite profiles, and predict the metabolites acting as antioxidants in extract using a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)-based metabolomics approach.
