Recent (2000–2015) developments in the analysis of minor unknown natural products based on characteristic fragment information using LC–MS

Liquid chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (LC–MS) has been widely used in natural product analysis. Global detection and identification of nontargeted components are desirable in natural product research, for example, in quality control of Chinese herbal medicine. Nontargeted components analysis continues to expand to exciting life science application domains such as metabonomics. With this background, the present review summarizes recent...
