Various species of cinnamon (Cinnamomum sp.) are consumed as traditional medicine and popular spice worldwide. The current research aimed to provide the first comparative metabolomics study in nine cinnamon drugs and their different com. preparations based on three anal. platforms, i.e., solid-phase microextraction coupled to gas chromatog.-mass spectrometry method (SPME/GC-MS), NMR (NMR), and UV-visible spectrophotometry (UV/Vis) targeting its metabolome. SPME/GC-MS of cinnamon aroma compounds showed a total of 126 peaks, where (E)-cinnamaldehyde was the major volatile detected at 4.2-60.9% and 6.3-64.5% in authenticated and com. preparations, resp. Asides, modeling of the GC/MS dataset could relate the com. products CP-1 and CP-3 to C. cassia attributed to their higher coumarin and low (E)-cinnamaldehyde content. In contrast, NMR fingerprinting identified (E)-methoxy cinnamaldehyde and coumarin as alternative markers for C. verum and C. iners, resp. Addnl., quant. NMR (qNMR) standardized cinnamon extracts based on major metabolites. UV/Vis showed to be of low discrimination power, but its orthogonal projections to latent structures discriminant anal. (OPLS-DA) S-plot showed that C. iners was more abundant in cinnamic acid compared to other samples. Results of this study provide potential insights into cinnamon drugs QC anal. and identify alternative markers for their discrimination.
