[PMID: 38860343 DOI: 10.1002/pca.3400] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2024] [Revised: 05/16/2024] [Accepted: 05/19/2024] [Indexed: 06/12/2024]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Winegrape varieties Kotsifali, Limnio, and Vradiano OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to develop a liquid chromatographic quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometric (LC-QTOF-MS/MS) method for the investigation of the anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin content of Greek grape varieties employing target and suspect screening strategies. METHODOLOGY A novel LC-QTOF-MS/MS method was developed and validated to assess the anthocyanin content of Kotsifali, Limnio, and Vradiano grape varieties. Sixteen grape samples were collected from the main growing areas of each variety in Greece. The influence of the grape variety on the anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin composition of three Greek winegrapes was investigated using chemometrics. RESULTS Excellent linearity (R2 > 0.99) was achieved for all the target analytes, and recoveries ranged between 90.1% and 119.1%. The limits of quantification (LOQs) and limits of detection (LODs) were calculated over the range of 0.020-0.40 mg/g and 0.010-0.13 mg/g, respectively. The RSD% was lower than 9.1% and 7.3% for intra-day and inter-day studies, respectively, indicating satisfactory trueness and precision. Target and suspect screening resulted in the identification of 5 and 26 anthocyanins, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Kotsifali variety exhibited a higher concentration of anthocyanins compared with Vradiano and Limnio. Higher levels of mean degree of polymerization (mDp) and different percentage levels of prodelphinidins (%P) were established among the varieties.

Abstract
The study of all chemical processes involving metabolites is known as metabolomics. It has been developed into an essential tool in several disciplines, such as the study of plant physiology, drug development, human diseases, and nutrition. The field of food science, diagnostic biomarker research, etiological analysis in the field of medical therapy, and raw material quality, processing, and safety have all benefited from the use of metabolomics recently. Food metabolomics includes the use of metabolomics in food production, processing, and human diets. As a result of changing consumer habits and the rising of food industries all over the world, there is a remarkable increase in interest in food quality and safety. It requires the employment of various technologies for the food supply chain, processing of food, and even plant breeding. This can be achieved by understanding the metabolome of food, including its biochemistry and composition. Additionally, Food metabolomics can be used to determine the similarities and differences across crop kinds, as an indicator for tracking the process of ripening to increase crops' shelf life and attractiveness, and identifying metabolites linked to pathways responsible for postharvest disorders. Moreover, nutritional metabolomics is used to investigate the connection between diet and human health through detection of certain biomarkers. This review assessed and compiled literature on food metabolomics research with an emphasis on metabolite extraction, detection, and data processing as well as its applications to the study of food nutrition, food-based illness, and phytochemical analysis. Several studies have been published on the applications of metabolomics in food but further research concerning the use of standard reproducible procedures must be done. The results published showed promising uses in the food industry in many areas such as food production, processing, and human diets. Finally, metabolome-wide association studies (MWASs) could also be a useful predictor to detect the connection between certain diseases and low molecular weight biomarkers.

Abstract
The global pandemic of COVID-19 has led to an increased interest in herbal infusions as natural remedies since 2020. This has also heightened the need for controlling the composition of these dietary supplements to ensure consumer health and prevent food fraud. In the present work, various mass spectrometry techniques were used to analyze the organic and inorganic composition of 23 herbal infusion samples. UHPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS was used to determine target, suspect, and nontarget polyphenolic compounds. Thus, 8 phenolic compounds were identified in the target analysis and additionally, 80 extra-compounds were identified through suspect and nontargeted screening. ICP-MS was used to monitor the metals released during tea leaf infusion, providing a complete mineral composition of each sample. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Discriminant Analysis (DA) were utilized to identify relevant compounds for differentiating and grouping the samples, thus serving as specific markers to detect potential food fraud.

Abstract
Despite Xinomavro (Vitis vinifera L.) being a well-known noble red grape variety of northern Greece, little is known about its ''bouquet'' typicity. Volatile compounds of Xinomavro wines produced using a common vinification protocol were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and sensory descriptive analysis was carried out with a trained panel. Wines were characterized by the presence of fatty acids, ethyl and acetate esters, and alcohols, with contributions from terpenes and a volatile phenol. The most active aroma compounds were determined to be 3-methylbutyl acetate, β-damascenone, ethyl esters of octanoic and hexanoic acids, and eugenol. Those compounds positively correlated with fruity and spicy odor descriptors, with the wines being mostly characterized by five typical aroma terms: strawberry, berry fruit, spices, tomato, and green bell pepper. Partial least squares regression (PLSR) analysis was used to visualize relationship between the orthonasal sensory attributes and the volatile aroma compounds with calculated OAVs > 1. Key aroma-active volatiles in the wines were identified using GC-MS/olfactometry, providing a list of 40 compounds, among which 13 presented a modified detection frequency > 70%. This study is the first of its kind and provided strong indications regarding the aroma compounds defining the sensory characteristics of Xinomavro wines.

Global Metabolome of Palmer Amaranth ( Amaranthus palmeri) Populations Highlights the Specificity and Inducibility of Phytochemical Responses to Abiotic Stress. JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD CHEMISTRY 2023; 71:3518-3530.

Abstract
Commonalities in adaptive responses to abiotic stressors could contribute to the development of cross-resistance in weeds. The degree to which herbicide-induced changes in weeds parallel those induced by other abiotic stress remains unknown. We investigated the specificity of metabolic perturbations induced by glyphosate and drought across three glyphosate-resistant (GR) and two glyphosate-susceptible (GS) biotypes of Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri) using global metabolomics approaches. Compared to GS-biotypes, in the absence of stress, the GR-biotypes had a higher abundance of primary metabolites, including sugars, nonaromatic amino acids, and organic acids. However, despite having a higher 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) gene copy number that could upregulate the phenylpropanoid metabolism, the nonstressed GR-biotypes were less abundant in specialized (secondary) metabolites. Under glyphosate stress, 80% of metabolites, including shikimate, that accumulated in GS-biotypes also increased in the GR-biotypes. However, glyphosate triggered the preferential accumulation of glycosides of dihydroxylated and methoxylated flavanols with higher antioxidant potential, and ferulic acid derivatives, specifically in GR-biotypes. The disruption of the shikimate pathway and the accumulation of phenylpropanoids upon glyphosate exposure suggest that the stress response of GR-biotypes could be partly induced. This differential response was less evident in other phytochemical classes and under drought, highlighting that the phytochemical responses are stress-specific rather than biotype-specific.

Comparative Evaluation of Different Targeted and Untargeted Analytical Approaches to Assess Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil Quality and Authentication. MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 27:molecules27041350. [PMID: 35209139 PMCID: PMC8874659 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27041350] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2021] [Revised: 01/03/2022] [Accepted: 02/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is a key component of the Mediterranean diet, with several health benefits derived from its consumption. Moreover, due to its eminent market position, EVOO has been thoroughly studied over the last several years, aiming at its authentication, but also to reveal the chemical profile inherent to its beneficial properties. In the present work, a comparative study was conducted to assess Greek EVOOs’ quality and authentication utilizing different analytical approaches, both targeted and untargeted. 173 monovarietal EVOOs from three emblematic Greek cultivars (Koroneiki, Kolovi and Adramytiani), obtained during the harvesting years of 2018–2020, were analyzed and quantified as per their fatty acids methyl esters (FAMEs) composition via the official method (EEC) No 2568/91, as well as their bioactive content through liquid chromatography coupled to high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) methodology. In addition to FAMEs analysis, EVOO samples were also analyzed via HRMS-untargeted metabolomics and optical spectroscopy techniques (visible absorption, fluorescence and Raman). The data retrieved from all applied techniques were analyzed with Machine Learning methods for the authentication of the EVOOs’ variety. The models’ predictive performance was calculated through test samples, while for further evaluation 30 commercially available EVOO samples were also examined in terms of variety. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study where different techniques from the fields of standard analysis, spectrometry and optical spectroscopy are applied to the same EVOO samples, providing strong insight into EVOOs chemical profile and a comparative evaluation through the different platforms.
