The phytochemical composition of Boerhavia elegans remains poorly understood, particularly in its leaves and roots, despite the plant’s traditional medicinal use. This study addresses this gap by conducting a comprehensive chemical characterization using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Sequential Soxhlet extraction with hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol yielded extracts ranging from 0.86 to 12.07%, with methanol providing the highest recoveries (12.07% in leaves, 10.01% in roots). GC-MS analysis of leaf hexane extracts identified 12 compounds (86% of total content), dominated by fatty acids (palmitic and oleic acids, 28.9%) and steroids (38.5%), particularly stigmast-5-en-3-ol (27.0%). Ethyl acetate fractions were enriched in sterols (42.5%), including stigmasterol and campesterin. LC-MS profiling of methanol extracts revealed bioactive molecules, including lutein, echinulin, pheophorbide a, and pectolinarigenin. The prevalence of sterols, fatty acids, flavonoids, and chlorophyll derivatives with antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anticancer activities underscores the pharmaceutical potential of Boerhavia elegans. These findings provide the first quantitative insight into the chemical diversity of Boerhavia elegans leaves and roots, establishing a foundation for its future use in medicinal and pharmaceutical applications.

In order to conduct in-depth research on the stylistic characteristics of different varieties of cigar tobacco leaves (CTLs), we have carried out the following research work: first, the Soxhlet extraction method was utilized for the pretreatment of 4 different varieties of CTLs currently available in China. Then, the two-dimensional (2D) gas chromatography–time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC × GC-TOF-MS) technology was applied for the nontargeted flavoromics analysis of CTLs. A total of 2117 volatile compounds were identified in the extracts of the 4 CTLs varieties, encompassing alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and their derivatives, esters, hydrocarbons, alkenes, heterocyclic compounds, and aromatics. Results from multivariate statistical analyses (principal component analysis (PCA) and orthogonal partial least-squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA)) revealed significant differences in the volatile compound profiles among different CTL varieties. Based on the relative odor activity value (ROAV) analysis, key flavor compounds were determined for each variety, contributing to the unique aroma profiles of the cigars. Overall, the 4 CTLs shared similar flavor profiles, characterized by sweetness, fruitiness, greenness, nuttiness, and floral notes, with BX1 and DX2 particularly standing out in sweetness and BX1 additionally prominent in fruitiness. HY101, however, was relatively lacking in these flavor attributes compared to the other 3 varieties. Nine key differential compounds─1-butanol, 3-methyl; 1-hexanol; benzeneacetaldehyde; naphthalene; benzaldehyde; isophorone; 2-heptanone, furan, 2-pentyl; and pyrazine, trimethyl, and trimethylpyrazine─were identified as the characteristic markers among different CTL varieties. We believe that this study will not only provide important value for the analysis of flavor characteristics and variety identification of cigar tobacco leaves but also offer scientific basis for improving the quality and market advantages of cigar tobacco leaves.
