Abstract

Ashwagandha plant (Withania somnifera), celebrated for its therapeutic properties, is rich in secondary metabolites like withanolides, alkaloids, and flavonoids, which contribute to its medicinal value. Identifying these metabolites using traditional methods can be labor-intensive and costly. This chapter explores the transformative role of deep learning (DL) and machine learning (ML) algorithms in metabolite identification and classification, integrating them with advanced spectral imaging techniques such as multispectral and hyperspectral cameras. These approaches enable rapid, non-invasive, and precise analysis of metabolite profiles, addressing limitations of conventional techniques. The chapter presents a comprehensive review of recent advancements, highlighting applications of ML/DL in enhancing accuracy and efficiency in metabolomics. Future research directions are discussed, focusing on personalized herbal medicine, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable agriculture.
