Article Synopsis
- Flos Trollii (FT) is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine known for its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, and antioxidative properties, used by various ethnic groups like Mongolian and Tibetan.
- The study aimed to identify quality markers (Q-markers) for FT through a combination of pharmacological evaluation, flavor analysis, and advanced analytical techniques like near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy.
- Five key compounds were identified as Q-markers which influence the efficacy and flavor of FT, with a predictive model developed to quickly assess their content using NIR technology.
For centuries, Flos Trollii has been consumed as functional tea and a folk medicine in China's north and northwest zones. The quality of Flos Trollii highly depends on the producing zones. Unfortunately, few studies have been reported on the geographical discrimination of Flos Trollii.
