Abstract
This work describes an application of principal component analysis (PCA) on a database of secondary metabolites from the Asteraceae family. The number s of occurrences of metabolites in 11 chemical classes for the different vi bes of the family were used as variables, PCA allows the identification of chemical classes that contribute most to the subgroups classification withi n the family. Relationships between chemical composition and botanical clas sification were made. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
