Chromatographic and mass spectrometry flow injection fingerprints were combined with a principal component analysis to differentiate organic grown spices from their conventional grown counterparts. The results indicated that both LC/GC chromatographic and FIMS fingerprint analyses could effectively differentiate organic and conventional spices. The FIMS technique provided a fast test and could be potentially used for high-throughput applications, while chromatographic fingerprints could provide more information about the chemical profiles but took longer analysis time.
