Abstract

Objectives: We aimed to establish a reliable and accurate classification model of P. odoratum based on the support vector machine (SVM) and identify it from different habitats; we also aimed to identify its adulterants.Materials and Methods: In this study, we first determined the ultraviolet (UV) absorption spectrum of the water extract of the rhizome from 162 samples (including P. odoratum from Hunan, Guangdong, Heilongjiang, Yunnan, and Liaoning Provinces and adulterant species including P. inflatum, P. prattii, P. cyrtonema, and Disporopsis pernyi (Hua) Diels) by UV‑visible spectrophotometry. The UV absorption data were preprocessed with the SVM model before establishing the habitat and other details.Results: According to our results, the SVM model showed a prediction accuracy of 100%. The model accurately identified five different habitats and four different adulterants of P. odoratum. Pretreatment of samples with UV spectrum might be useful in the accurate identification of P. odoratum.Conclusion: The SVM model seems very prospective in identifying herbs with multiple habitats and its adulterants.
