Plant medicines are gaining more and more attention all over the world. Many modern analytical approaches have been introduced to evaluate the quality of medicinal plants, and significant amount of measurement data has been produced. Therefore, the application of chemometrics in the field of medicinal plants is spontaneous and necessary. Comprehensive methods and hyphenated techniques associated with chemometrics used for extracting useful information and supplying various methods of data processing are now more and more widely used in medicinal plants. This review focuses on the applications of chemometrics in quality evaluation of medicinal plants in the authenticity, efficacy and safety evaluation.

 

Key words: Chemometrics, application, medicinal plants, chromatographic fingerprint, quality evaluation.
