This year marks the 25th anniversary of coinage term metabolome [S. G. Oliver et al ., Trends Biotech. 16 , 373–378 (1998)]. As field rapidly advances, it is important to take stock progress which has been made best inform disciplines future. While a medical-centric perspective on metabolomics recently published [M. Giera Cell Metab. 34 21–34 (2022)], this largely ignores pioneering contributions by plant and microbial science communities. In perspective, we provide contemporary overview all fields in employed with particular emphasis both methodological application breakthroughs sciences that have shaped evolving research discipline from very early days its establishment. will not cover types assays currently but focus mainly those utilizing mass spectrometry–based measurements since they are far most prominent.

Soluble sugar and organic acid composition and flavor evaluation of Chinese cherry fruits

Food Chemistry X, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 20, P. 100953 - 100953

Published: Oct. 21, 2023

Chinese cherry is an economically important fruit crop native to China. Flavor quality greatly influenced by compositions of soluble sugars and organic acids. To better understand the flavor cherry, we determined sugar acid components in thirty-eight landrace cultivar collections, two wild resources using HPLC method. Glucose fructose were main components, accounting for 85.91% sugars. Malic was predominant acid, with average proportion 65.73% total Correlation PCA analysis revealed seven key indicators evaluating flavor. Compared cultivated collections exhibited higher levels sugars, especially fructose, lower particularly malic fruits. Finally, have established grading criteria cherry. Our study provides valuable references identifying compounds improving

Targeting ripening regulators to develop fruit with high quality and extended shelf life

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 79, P. 102872 - 102872

Published: Jan. 6, 2023

Fruit quality directly impacts fruit marketability and consumer acceptance. Breeders have focused on traits to extend shelf life, primarily through texture, but, in some cases, neglected other qualities such as flavor nutrition. In recent years, integrative biotechnology consumer-minded approaches surfaced, aiding the development of flavorful, long-lasting fruit. Here, we discussed how specific transcription factors hormones involved ripening can be targeted generate high-quality traditional breeding bioengineering. We highlight regulators that used novel-colored or biofortify fresh produce with health-promoting nutrients, vitamin C. Overall, argue addressing grower industry needs must balanced consumer-based traits.

Flavor characterization of Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium (Citrus reticulata ‘Chachiensis’) with different aging years via sensory and metabolomic approaches

Food Chemistry, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 443, P. 138616 - 138616

Published: Jan. 28, 2024

Guangchenpi (GCP), which is the peel of Citrus reticulata 'Chachiensis', widely used as an herbal medicine, tea and food ingredient in southeast Asia. Prolonging its aging process results a more pleasant flavor increases profitability. Through integration sensory evaluation with flavoromic analysis approaches, we evaluated correlation between attributes profiles volatiles flavonoids GCP various years. Notably, d-limonene, γ-terpinene, dimethyl anthranilate α-phellandrene were characteristic aroma compounds GCP. Besides, nonanal decisive for consumers' perception time due to changes their odor activity values (OAVs). The liquid enhanced extension time, limonene-1,2-diol was identified important enhancer. Combined machine learning models, key flavor-related metabolites could be developed efficient biomarkers years prevent adulteration.

Releasing a sugar brake generates sweeter tomato without yield penalty

Nature, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 635(8039), P. 647 - 656

Published: Nov. 13, 2024

In tomato, sugar content is highly correlated with consumer preferences, most consumers preferring sweeter fruit1–4. However, the of commercial varieties generally low, as it inversely fruit size, and growers prioritize yield over flavour quality5–7. Here we identified two genes, tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) calcium-dependent protein kinase 27 (SlCDPK27; also known SlCPK27) its paralogue SlCDPK26, that control content. They act brakes by phosphorylating a sucrose synthase, which promotes degradation synthase. Gene-edited SlCDPK27 SlCDPK26 knockouts increased glucose fructose contents up to 30%, enhancing perceived sweetness without weight or penalty. Although there are fewer, lighter seeds in mutants, they exhibit normal germination. Together, these findings provide insight into regulatory mechanisms controlling accumulation offer opportunities increase large-fruited cultivars sacrificing size yield. A study identifies genes tomatoes demonstrates their manipulation generate affecting
