Description
Summary:So far, the metabolic differences between tree-ripened and postharvest-ripened mangoes have largely remained unexplored. The aim of this study was to evaluate the chemical composition of nutrient substances in mangoes subjected to different ripening methods. An untargeted metabolomic approach based on ultra performance liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS) was carried out to investigate the differences between artificially ripened and naturally ripened mangoes. The principal component analysis results indicate a clear separation between the different treatment groups. Variance analysis, fold change, and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) were employed to find potential markers. In total, 69 metabolites were identified, with significant variations in the abundance of organic acids, vitamins, carbohydrates, and polyphenols closely related to the ripening methods of mangoes. These results contribute to a better understanding of the metabolic changes in mangoes due to different ripening methods, which could be used to assist in evaluating the quality of mango fruit.
