Untargeted metabolomics of Aloe volatiles: Implications in pathway enrichments for improved bioactivities by Nehal Batra, Priyankar Dey

“…Through the application of appropriate bioinformatics tools, we identified distinct phytochemical classes and determined the enrichment of their corresponding biosynthetic pathways, associated the pathways with bioactivities, and also identified the inter-relation between the commonly enriched pathways. The strong association between metabolic pathways and antioxidant potentials suggested the necessity to enhance distinct but closely related metabolic pathways in order to enhance the quality of Aloe spp. and maximize their antioxidant effects for commercial exploitation in cosmetic industries.…”
