Comparative Study on the Chemical Components and Gastrointestinal Function on Rats of the Raw Product and Licorice-Simmered Product of <i>Polygala tenuifolia</i>

<div>PCA score plot (a) and loading biplot (b) of RPT (green triangle) and LPT (red circle). RPT and LPT were classified into two clusters. Peaks 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, and 14 are the important components to distinguish RPT and LPT, which will reduce during processing. Peaks 4 and 10 are also important components for the differences between RPT and LPT, which will increase during processing.</div>
