چکیده
Solanum lyratum is a medicinal plant used to treat cancers and tumors. The objective of this study was to apply Fourier transform infrared microspectroscopy (FTIR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) to quick identification of S. lyratum fourteen samples from its main geographic origins in China. The hierarchical dendrogram based on principal component analysis (PCA) of FTIR and TGA data showed that these samples could be divided into three ecotypes according to their geographic distances to the ocean: inland type, middle type and inshore type. Differences in cell compositions and structures by FTIR and TGA indicated that higher content of cell wall polysaccharides, hermo-oxidative degradation of hemicellulose (HODH) and degradation of lignin (DL) are appointed for inshore type compared to inland type and middle type. These indices (cell wall polysaccharides, HODH and DL) can be characteristic values for identifying S. lyratum from different region in China. The FTIR-TGA method, providing compositional and structural differences in their macromolecules in cell for the herbs rapidly and accurately, would be capable of further identification of other Chinese medicinal plant.

High Resolution Thermogravimetric Analysis - a New Technique for Obtaining Superior Analytical Results
Resolution, the ability to separate closely occurring events, is an important criterion for most analytical instrument techniques since it effects the ability to obtain accurate, quantitative results. Thermal Analysis techniques are no exception to this basic rule. A good example is thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) which measures weight changes with temperature, providing information about mate...
