  "abstract": "Commercial ‘Boju’ (Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat.), derived from the dried capitulum of Asteraceae, is a medicinal herb of significant value. Currently, two primary commercial specifications of ‘Boju’ are circulated in the market: Chrysanthemum morifolium Hemsl cv. ‘Da Boju’ (DBJ) and Chrysanthemum morifolium Hemsl cv. ‘Xiao Boju’ (XBJ). Their original plant sources are Chrysanthemum × morifolium Hemsl cv. ‘Damaya’. and Chrysanthemum × morifolium Hemsl cv. ‘Boju’, respectively. ‘Boju’, is a globally consumed functional herb valued for its distinctive organoleptic properties. To address the challenge of cultivar-specific authentication, an integrated multi-sensor platform synergizing electronic nose (E-nose), electronic tongue (E-tongue), and gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) was deployed. While E-nose profiles effectively segregated DBJ from XBJ, e-tongue analysis revealed largely overlapping sensor responses across both groups, with saltiness-like and umami-like channels predominating; DBJ was primarily distinguished by significantly stronger bitter-aftertaste responses. GC-IMS metabolomics resolved 125 volatile signals, enabling the annotation of 66 compounds; subsequent multivariate modeling isolated 28 terpenoid—enriched biomarkers that underpinned the observed aromatic divergence. This non-destructive data fusion framework offers a robust paradigm for the quality grading and standardization of chrysanthemum-based functional foods.",
