There is increasing
interest in systems approach in healthcare, from clinical medicine, diet and
nutrition, pharmacology to plant-based drug development. The potential of NMR
to study medicinal plants as a whole to evaluate system parameters such as
organoleptic properties have been explored in detail in this study. Since taste
is a chemosensory effect, NMR has been used for this analysis of medicinal
plants along with Electronic tongue based chemometrics for objective measurement
of taste. The results indicate an active role for NMR
in chemosensory research.
