Abstract:Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy stands as a preeminent analytical tool in the eld of metabolomics. Nevertheless, when it comes to identifying metabolites present in scant amounts within various complex mixtures of plants, honey, milk, and biological specimens, NMR-based metabolomics presents a formidable challenge. This predicament arises primarily from the fact that the signals emanating from metabolites existing in low concentrations tend to be overshadowed by the signals of highly concentrated… Show more
In this study, we applied a method of suppression to suppress the intense peaks of methyl and methylene groups to allow detection of weaker peaks in NMR spectroscopy of lipids.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
