Abstract
Vicia sativa L. (VH) honeys are appreciated by consumers for their distinctive colors, tastes and potential biological properties. However, comprehensive metabolic profiles of VH are insufficient. Here, we performed a comprehensive metabolomic analysis of VH and Vicia sativa L. (V) plants. A total of 937 significantly different metabolites were identified between V and VH. These included 179 flavonoids, 163 lipids, 124 amino acids and their derivatives, 111 phenolic acids, 93 alkaloids, etc. Lysine, glutamine, (2S,4R)-4-hydroxy-1-methylpyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid, 2-decenedioic acid, imidazole-4-acetic acid and 6-deoxycatalpol were found to be up-regulated in VH, which may contribute to its taste and distinctive flavor. VH also retained the bioactive flavonoids present in V, including quercetin, kaempferol, genistein, apigenin, isorhamnetin and their derivatives. These results demonstrate the potential health benefits and high commercial value of VH.
维琪亚sativa L. (VH)蜂蜜因其独特的颜色、味道和潜在的生物学特性而受到消费者的欢迎。然而,VH的综合代谢谱是不够的。在这里,我们对VH和Vicia sativa L. (V)植物进行了全面的代谢组学分析。在V和VH之间共鉴定出937种显著不同的代谢物。其中,类黄酮179种,脂类163种,氨基酸及其衍生物124种,酚酸111种,生物碱93种等。赖氨酸、谷氨酰胺、(2S,4R)-4-羟基-1-甲基吡咯烷-2-羧酸、2-癸二酸、咪唑-4-乙酸和6-脱氧catalpol在VH中表达上调,这可能是其口感和独特风味的原因。VH还保留了V中存在的生物活性类黄酮,包括槲皮素、山奈酚、染料木素、芹菜素、异鼠李素及其衍生物。这些结果表明了VH潜在的健康效益和很高的商业价值。
