Abstract
The edible flower buds of Hemerocallis citrina Baroni are used both as a vegetable and functional food. It has various health benefits due to the diversity of natural products. However, the establishment of functional components in the edible flower bud remains to be studied. We conducted a high-resolution metabolomic analysis of flower buds at three developmental stages, 1–2 cm, 4–6 cm, and edible (10–15 cm). Our analysis revealed 157 differential accumulated metabolites, including flavonoids (49), fatty acids (17) and terpenoids (13) while most of them decreased during flower bud development. Among them, 2 flavonoids, 2 long-chain fatty acids and 1 triterpene saponin are highly accumulated in edible flower buds. Furthermore, the expression levels of catalytic genes mirrored the changes in metabolite levels detected. These results track the dynamics of functional component accumulation during edible flower bud development, laying the theoretical basis for nutrition formation in H. citrina.
期刊介绍:
Food Chemistry: X, one of three Open Access companion journals to Food Chemistry, follows the same aims, scope, and peer-review process. It focuses on papers advancing food and biochemistry or analytical methods, prioritizing research novelty. Manuscript evaluation considers novelty, scientific rigor, field advancement, and reader interest. Excluded are studies on food molecular sciences or disease cure/prevention. Topics include food component chemistry, bioactives, processing effects, additives, contaminants, and analytical methods. The journal welcome Analytical Papers addressing food microbiology, sensory aspects, and more, emphasizing new methods with robust validation and applicability to diverse foods or regions.
