Abstract

Plant samples are potential sources of physiologically active secondary metabolites and their classification is an extremely important task in traditional medicine and other fields of research. In the production of herbal drugs, different plant parts of the same or related species can serve as adulterants for primary plant material. The use of highly informative and relatively easily accessible tools, such as liquid chromatography and low-resolution mass spectrometry, helps to solve these tasks by means of fingerprint analysis. In this study, to reveal specific plant part features for 20 species from one family (Apiaceae), and to preserve the maximum information content, two approaches are suggested. In both cases, minimal raw data pretreatment, including rescaling of time and m/z axes and cutting off some uninformative regions, was applied. For the support vector machine (SVM) method, tensor unfolding was required, while neural networks (NNs) were able to work directly with squared heatmaps as input data. Moreover, five data augmentation variants are proposed, to overcome the typical problem of a lack of data. As a result, a comparable F1-score close to 0.75 was achieved by SVM and two employed NN architectures. Eight marker compounds belonging to chlorophylls, lipids, and coumarin apio-glucosides were tentatively identified as characteristic of their corresponding sample groups: roots, stems, leaves, and fruits. The proposed approaches are simple, information-saving and can be applied to a broad type of tasks in metabolomics.
