Extraction of Ampelopsis japonica polysaccharides using p-toluenesulfonic acid assisted n-butanol three-phase partitioning: Physicochemical, rheological characterization and antioxidant activity.

Scientists used an efficient method to extract polysaccharides from Ampelopsis japonica. They analyzed the composition, structure, and antioxidant properties of the polysaccharides. The results suggest that Ampelopsis japonica polysaccharides have potential as natural antioxidants in food and pharmaceutical industries.

Non-targeted chemical analysis of consumer botanical products labeled as blue cohosh (Caulophyllum thalictroides), goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis), or yohimbe bark (Pausinystalia yohimbe) by NMR and MS.

This study analyzed botanical dietary supplements using NMR and mass spectrometry to assess product quality and authenticity. Outliers were identified, and known constituents helped determine product authenticity. NMR and MS data provided similar and complementary results.
