Abstract
Schisandra chinensis fruit is a food-as-medicine species extensively used in diverse phytotherapeutical applications. Spurred by its widespread use, this study employed a modified MTBE–based lipid extraction procedure on raw and vinegar-processed Schisandra chinensis fruit. Subsequently, lipid composition analysis was conducted using ultra–high–performance liquid chromatography interfaced with ion mobility–quadrupole time–of–flight mass spectrometry. Altogether, 339 lipid molecular species were annotated for the raw and vinegar-processed variants, spanning 24 subclasses and falling into five categories. The KEGG analysis revealed that glycerophospholipid metabolism, biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, and autophagy were the top three pivotal biological pathways in the response to vinegar processing. Moreover, this study pinpointed potential lipid markers capable of differentiating between the two forms, and initiated a preliminary quantitative analysis for their concurrent determination. The results presented in this work offer novel perspectives into the molecular mechanism underlying the vinegar processing of the Schisandra chinensis fruit.
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.
