Abstract
Although Russula vinosa Lindblad (RVL) is widely valued as a nutritious edible mushroom worldwide, its quality varies considerably depending on geographical origin. Due to the stronger reputation of certain producing regions, significant price differences exist for RVL from different sources, which has led to instances of economically motivated adulteration, where inferior products are misrepresented as premium ones. In this study, we employed ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole-Exactive-Orbitrap tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QE Orbitrap/MS/MS) to characterize the lipid molecular species of RVL from different origins. A total of 186 molecular species across 21 lipid classes were identified. Combined with chemometrics, 33 lipid molecule species including PE 16:0/18:2, PE 18:2/18:2, HexCer 19:0;2 O/18:2;O, Cer 21:0;3 O/20:0;(2OH) and PI 16:0/18:2 were selected as potential biomarkers for geographic differentiation. This study represents the first comprehensive lipidomic analysis of the lipid profiles of RVL from major producing regions in China. It highlights systematic variations in lipid composition across different geographical origins and provides a scientific basis for verifying the provenance of this edible fungus. These findings support the protection of geographical indications (GIs) and help combat fraudulent labeling practices.
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.
