Metabolic and elemental profiling as potential discriminating features among the black mahlab seeds (Monechma ciliatum) grown in three different regions

Black mahlab (Monechma ciliatum) seed is a rich source of metabolites and minerals and is usually believed to have a similar composition between different areas of cultivation. Until now, no studies have assessed changes in black mahlab seeds (BMSs) to determine those constituents that help to discriminate them according to geographical origin.
