Application of near- and mid-infrared spectroscopy combined with chemometrics for discrimination and authentication of herbal products: A review. Journal of Applied Pharmaceutical Science. 2019 Apr; 2019 Apr: 137-1472231-3354http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/210576Herbal medicines along with its preparations have been commonly used as preventive and promotive agents around theworld, especially in developing countries. Motivated by economic profits, the high-priced value of herbal medicinesmay be substituted or adulterated with less expensive ones; therefore, the authentication methods must be developedto overcome the adulteration practices. Due to their properties as fingerprint analytical techniques, near-infrared (NIR)and mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopies offered fast and reliable techniques for authentication of herbal medicine.The data generated during authentication of herbal medicines were complex and difficult to be interpreted; therefore,the statistical approach called chemometrics has been used to treat data. The objective of the present review was tohighlight the updates on the application of NIR and MIR spectroscopies and chemometrics techniques (discrimination,classification, and quantification) for discrimination and authentication of herbal medicine.Herbal medicineauthenticationNIR spectroscopyMIR spectroscopychemometricsJournal ArticleIndiaFaculty of Pharmacy, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta, IndonesiaFaculty of Pharmacy, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta, IndonesiaNanotechnology and Catalysis Research Centre (NANOCAT), University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, MalaysiaNanotechnology and Catalysis Research Centre (NANOCAT), University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, MalaysiaNanotechnology and Catalysis Research Centre (NANOCAT), University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, MalaysiaInternational Institute for Halal Research and Training, International Islamic University Malaysia, Jalan Gombak, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
