Fig. 9From: High-throughput detection of antioxidants in mulberry fruit using correlations between high-resolution mass and activity profiles of chromatographic fractionsGrouping method and its influence on correlation coefficients. If some components have the same mass (169.014 u) but two different structures, as in (a), then those two components will present two separate chromatographic distributions within different fractions, described as regions 1 in (c), and 2 in (b). If the correlation coefficient C j is calculated using scoring method 1 without a grouping process then Score 1 (44.7, (a)) will be much higher than the C j of gallic acid (24.94, (c)) due to the different component in the same mass peakBack to article page
