Cultural Heritage Preservation: SIRIUS for Identifying Yellow Dye Markers

Identifying the botanical origins of yellow dyes in ancient textiles is a notorious challenge due to the chemical overlap of common pigments across different plant species. This study introduces a robust metabolomics workflow designed to move beyond ubiquitous molecules like quercetin to find species-specific “Gold” chemical markers using SIRIUS.
