Abstract
Rosa rugosa Thunb. is a medicinal-edible plant with quality variations among cultivars. This study aimed to systematically characterize and compare five R. rugosa cultivars (R. 'Jinbian', R. 'Crimson Glory', R. 'Kushui', R. rugosa 'Plena', and R. gallica L.) using an integrated analytical framework combining spectroscopic, chromatographic, and chemometric approaches, to provide insights for quality control and rational resource utilization. FTIR identified key shared functional groups (3394, 2924, 2854, 1734, 1616 cm⁻¹, etc.) and cultivar-specific spectral differences in the 1500–1000 cm⁻¹ region, enabling discrimination. ICP-MS revealed undetectable toxic elements (As, Cd, Pb), and principal component analysis (PCA) highlighted R. rugosa 'Plena' and R. 'Kushui' as richest in 12 beneficial metallic elements.UPLC-QE-Orbitrap-MS identified 73 constituents (38 flavonoids), with R. gallica L. exhibiting the highest flavonoid content (hyperoside: 6.69 mg·g⁻¹, isoquercitrin: 3.64 mg·g⁻¹, Kaempferol:3.18 mg·g⁻¹), followed by R. 'Crimson Glory' (rutin:3.37 mg·g⁻¹, Quercitrin:5.86 mg·g⁻¹). PCA discriminated cultivars based on dual chemical fingerprints. Health risk assessment confirmed safety (THQ<1, HI<1, CR<1 ×10⁻⁶). These findings highlight R. gallica L. (high flavonoids) and R. rugosa 'Plena' (abundant beneficial minerals) as elite cultivars for medicinal and functional food applications.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Food Composition and Analysis publishes manuscripts on scientific aspects of data on the chemical composition of human foods, with particular emphasis on actual data on composition of foods; analytical methods; studies on the manipulation, storage, distribution and use of food composition data; and studies on the statistics, use and distribution of such data and data systems. The Journal''s basis is nutrient composition, with increasing emphasis on bioactive non-nutrient and anti-nutrient components. Papers must provide sufficient description of the food samples, analytical methods, quality control procedures and statistical treatments of the data to permit the end users of the food composition data to evaluate the appropriateness of such data in their projects.
The Journal does not publish papers on: microbiological compounds; sensory quality; aromatics/volatiles in food and wine; essential oils; organoleptic characteristics of food; physical properties; or clinical papers and pharmacology-related papers.
