Quantitative and Molecular Similarity Analyses of the Metabolites of Cold- and Hot-Natured Chinese Herbs

Figure 1

The heatmap is based on the 193 identified compounds from 30 extracts of Chinese herbs. Rows represent compounds and columns represent the Chinese herb samples. The orange box groups the 15 hot/warm-natured herbs and the blue box groups the 15 cold/cool-natured herbs. Color key indicates the relative concentrations of the identified compounds: yellow indicates higher concentrations, black indicates medium concentrations, and blue indicates lower concentrations. Each herb had three duplicate samples.
