Rapid Detection and Validated Quantification of Psychoactive Compounds in Complex Plant Matrices by Direct Analysis in Real Time-High Resolution Mass Spectrometry - Application to "Kava" Psychoactive Pepper Products.

CONCLUSIONS: Rapid identification and quantification of psychoactive small molecules in plant material can be accomplished using a validated DART-HRMS protocol. This work illustrates an approach to qualitative and quantitative analyses of a wide variety of complex matrices derived from plants, and demonstrates that the commercially available products analyzed are P. methysticum derived and do contain psychoactive yangonin at quantifiable levels.
