                  Mass spectrometry is a highly sensitive method for detecting organic compounds. After
                  ionization  of  organic  molecules,  under  the  action  of  electromagnetic  field  in  mass
                  analyzer,  mass  spectrometry  maps  are  generated  to  accurately  determine  organic
                  compounds  with  different  molecular  weights.  Its  characteristic  is  that  separation  and
                  identification are carried out simultaneously. Therefore, MS technology is widely used
                  in  the chemical  field  and plays a very important  role in  the identification of organic
                  compounds. However, for complex natural products with similar components, a large
                  number  of  samples  need  to  be  synthetically  analyzed  in  order  to  reach  an  objective
                  conclusion.  We  randomly  selected  several  plant  oils  and  Saw  palmetto  oil  for
                  preliminary comparative study. It is considered that the identification of saw palmetto
                  oil by MS is very difficult and lots of work needs to be done.
