CQSP, with the highest protein content, had large, irregular particles and strong adsorption capacity. DOSP excelled in dietary fiber, water-holding, oil-holding, and swelling capacities. DMSP showed the strongest diffraction intensity, sheet-like fibrous structures, and high crystallinity. PPSP, known for excellent flowability, had smooth, flat particles with a high proportion of amorphous structures. Metabolomic analysis identified 76 unique metabolites in DOSP, 30 in DMSP, 55 in PPSP, and 90 in CQSP, revealing 296 organic acid and 340 lipid differences between DMSP, CQSP, and DOSP, respectively.1-pyrroline-2-carboxylic acid emerged as a key marker distinguishing CQSP, DMSP, and DOSP. Metabolite profiles differed by variety: DOSP was rich in indole, quinic, and shikimic acids; DMSP contained abundant polyphenols and indoles; PPSP showed enhanced aromatic amino acid metabolism; CQSP was enriched in L-glutamine, L-glutamic acid, and carotenoid biosynthesis.

In contrast, the blue film exhibited superior light barrier characteristics, effectively blocking wavelengths corresponding to ultraviolet light and chlorophyll excitation bands. This dual mechanism significantly reduced both auto-oxidation and type II photooxidation pathways of PS. Consequently, the blue film increased inhibition rates for POPs (7α-OH-PS, 7β-OH-PS, 5α,6α-epoxy-PS, 7-keto-PS, 6β-OH-PS, and 5β,6β-epoxy-PS) from 22.12 %, 13.66 %, 15.08 %, 12.16 %, 12.93 %, and 10.70 % to 76.60 %, 75.29 %, 79.40 %, 75.41 %, 77.56 %, and 75.33 %, respectively.
