Customers value natural products and botanicals as \"green\" alternatives--safer ingredients for their families which also represent an environmentally and socially responsible choice for the planet. In order to build assurance into the sourcing of natural ingredients, R\u0026amp;D organizations must have valid scientific matrices to authenticate the quality of those ingredients, provide traceability, and minimize risk. An assemblage of insight from expert contributors, \u003cb\u003eBotanicals: Methods and Techniques for Quality \u0026amp; Authenticity\u003c\/b\u003e compiles a range of methods and techniques that can be used to help guide quality and authenticity determinations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTopics include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eMetabolic profiling, authentication of botanicals by morphology, and genetic methods of botanical authentication\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTools for building models for the authentication of materials\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow multivariate statistics can play a role in determining botanical quality and authenticity\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRadiocarbon and stable isotope ratio analysis and emerging stable isotope tools\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) spectroscopy, NIR (near-infrared), and HPTLC (high-performance thin-layer chromatography) methods for analysis\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe use of electronic sensing instruments and applications for analysis \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe contributors also discuss the challenge of identifying a botanical extract or preparation on the basis of its chemical content and discuss quality issues faced by botanicals used as cosmetic ingredients.
