Chemometric analysis based on high-performance liquid chromatographic data in the fingerprint construction of selected Achillea species

Fourteen Achillea species were collected, extracted using Soxhlet apparatus with dichloromethane and methanol as solvents. The obtained methanolic extracts were analyzed using the reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography–diode array detector (RP-HPLC-DAD) with the Kinetex C18 column and the mobile phase consisting of methanol–water–0.1% formic acid mixture (gradient 5–85% (v/v)) at 30°C with the run time of 45 min and the detection...
