3 Fig. 2 The liquid chromatograms illustrated for an extract of khat A1. The UV absorbance at 200nm (top) and 250nm (bottom) are displayed. Forensic Science International  , DOI: ( /j.forsciint ) Copyright © Terms and Conditions

4 Fig. 3 The khatamine concentrations for khat A1 are plotted as a function of the elapsed time from the start of the study. The solid line represents the least-squares linear regression for the data points (−). The parenthetical notation cites the slope of the linear regression followed by the correlation coefficient (r).

5 Fig. 4 The total ion chromatogram presented by an extract of khat A1 (prepared 1164 days into study). An expanded view of the chromatogram illustrates the relevant peaks. Forensic Science International  , DOI: ( /j.forsciint ) Copyright © Terms and Conditions

6 Fig. 5 The mass spectrum collected from the cathinone peak of the total ion chromatogram (Fig. 4) of an extract of khat A1. The mass spectrum of a cathinone standard is shown for comparison. Forensic Science International  , DOI: ( /j.forsciint ) Copyright © Terms and Conditions

7 Fig. 6 The mass spectrum collected from the cathine peak of the total ion chromatogram (Fig. 4) of an extract of khat A1. The mass spectrum of a cathine standard is shown for comparison. Forensic Science International  , DOI: ( /j.forsciint ) Copyright © Terms and Conditions

8 Fig. 7 The total (infrared) response chromatogram presented for the same extract of khat A1 depicted in Fig. 4. An expanded view of the chromatogram illustrates the relevant peaks. Forensic Science International  , DOI: ( /j.forsciint ) Copyright © Terms and Conditions

9 Fig. 8 The vapor-phase infrared transmission spectrum collected from the cathinone peak of the total response chromatogram (Fig. 7) of an extract of khat A1. The vapor-phase spectrum of a cathinone standard is shown for comparison. Spectra collected at 280°C and at 8cm−1 resolution.

10 Fig. 9 The vapor-phase infrared transmission spectrum collected from the cathine peak of the total response chromatogram (Fig. 7) of an extract of khat A1. The vapor-phase spectrum of a cathine standard is shown for comparison. Spectra collected at 280°C and at 8cm−1 resolution.

11 Fig. 10 The khatamine concentrations for khat B are plotted as a function of the elapsed time after drying in a fume hood (approximately 20°C) for 72h. The solid line represents the least-squares linear regression for the data points (−). The parenthetical notation cites the slope of the linear regression followed by the correlation coefficient (r).
