Metabolomics analysis of oil palm ( Elaeis guineensis ) leaf: evaluation of sample preparation steps using UHPLC –MS/MS

ConclusionSample preparation steps should be carefully performed in metabolomics studies, because metabolites will be extracted and identified based on transport and solvent of extraction conditions. In this study, we established a reliable analytical protocol, from sample preparation to data analyses, to prospect new metabolites in oil palm leaves. This protocol could be further applied to similar oil-bearing crops.
