ccurate plant identification and right quality plant material
from best location of different phyto-geographical zones is
the foundation of effective usage of plant based natural health
products in pharmaceutical industry. Herbal drug technology is
used for converting botanical materials into medicines, where
standardization and quality control with proper integration
of modern scientific techniques and traditional knowledge is
important. The use of chromatographic techniques and marker
compounds to standardize botanical preparations has proven
industrial usage for commercial exploitation of medicinal
diversity, their variable sources and chemical complexity. This has
huge opportunity in the area of drug development and discovery,
where variation in metabolite content plays an important role.
A chemotypic fingerprinting and related technique provides an
optimal characterization of botanical materials. This present
contribution provides an overview and a brief account of various
such studies conducted that are useful in identifying best location
of right material from different phyto-geographical zones of India.
