Abstract
Lutein, β-carotene, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and 13 anthocyanins were identified for the first time in fruit peel of a color mutant jujube cultivar-‘Sanbianhong’.
Major distinctions in the metabolic profiles among the five different colored peel groups.
Key color metabolites that contribute to the pigmentation in S1, S3, and S5 developmental stages were identified.
The key color metabolites were quantified using standards as calibrators.
The fruit peel of a color mutant jujube cultivar, ‘Sanbianhong’ (SBF), was investigated using an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography quadrupole Orbitrap mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap MS) at five ripening stages (S1, Young fruit stage; S2, swelling stage; S3, white-mature stage; S4, pre-mature stage and S5, mature stage). Lutein, β-carotene, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and 13 anthocyanins were identified. Chlorophyll a and cyanidin 3-O-galactoside were considered key color metabolites in S1 with the content of 1.083 mg/g of fresh weight (FW) and 4.585 mg/g of FW, respectively. Delphinidin (0.488 mg/g FW) and cyanidin (6.259 mg/g FW) were identified as the key pigments in S3. Delphinidin 3-O-glucoside (0.256 mg/g FW) was identified as the key anthocyanin in maturity S5. Herein, the identification and quantitation of pigment-related metabolites of SBF were studied for the first time, and the results provide a theoretical basis for understanding the pigment changes of jujube fruit during ripening.
