- Abstract:
- Saffron is an invaluable medicinal crop. Saffron-specific phytochemicals have been well studied, yet the whole compositions and their variations remain to be clear. We analyzed six saffron products from different countries, farming methods and food/drug classes through metabolomics with a computational analysis system (Categorical Mapper). Total 5310 compositions were found, of which 3153 were identified, including 545 lipids and 257 drugs. High precision mass spectrometry and accurate identification are essential for assessment of food safety and medical applicability.
