Identification of compounds from chufa (Eleocharis dulcis) peels by widely targeted metabolomics
Abstract The Chinese water chestnut (CWC) is among the most widespread and economically important vegetables in Southern China. There are two different types of cultivars for this vegetable, namely, big CWC (BCWC) and small CWC (SCWC). These are used for different purposes based on their metabolic p...

| description | Abstract The Chinese water chestnut (CWC) is among the most widespread and economically important vegetables in Southern China. There are two different types of cultivars for this vegetable, namely, big CWC (BCWC) and small CWC (SCWC). These are used for different purposes based on their metabolic profiles. This study aimed to investigate the metabolite profile of CWC and compare the profiles of peels collected in different harvest years using ultraperformance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (UPLC–MS)‐based metabolomics analysis. Three hundred and twenty‐one metabolites were identified, of which 87 flavonoids, 25 phenylpropanoids, and 33 organic acids and derivatives were significantly different in the content of the two varieties of BCWC and SCWC. The metabolite profiles of the two different cultivars were distinguished using principle component analysis (PCA) and orthogonal projections to latent structures discriminant analysis, and the results indicated differences in the metabolite profile of Eleocharis dulcis (Burm. f.) Trin. ex Hensch. Three isomers of hydroxycoumarin, namely, O‐feruloyl‐4‐hydroxycoumarin, O‐feruloyl‐3‐hydroxycoumarin, and O‐feruloyl‐2‐hydroxycoumarin, exhibited increased levels in BCWC, while p‐coumaric acid and vanillic acid did not show any significant differences in their content in BCWC and SCWC peels. This study, for the first time, provides novel insights into the differences among metabolite profiles between BCWC and SCWC. |
