Metabolic Discrimination of Mango Juice from Various Cultivars by Band-Selective NMR Spectroscopy

Abstract

NMR-based metabolic analysis of foods has been widely applied in food science. In this study, we performed discrimination of five different mango cultivars, Awin, Carabao, Keitt, Kent, and Nam Dok Mai, using metabolic analysis with band-selective excitation NMR spectra. A combination of unsupervised principal component analysis (PCA) with low-field region (1)H NMR spectra obtained by band-selective excitation provided a good discriminant model of the five mango cultivars. Using F(2)-selective 2D NMR spectra, we also identified various minor components in the mango juice. Signal assignment of the minor components facilitated the interpretation of the loading plot, and it was found that arginine, histidine, phenylalanine, glutamine, shikimic acid, and trigonelline were important for classification of the five mango cultivars.

1H NMR and GC–MS based metabolomics reveal nano-Cu altered cucumber (Cucumis sativus) fruit nutritional supply

“…The NMR technique is a popular analytical platform for metabolite profiling due to simple sample preparation, which minimizes the change in the chemical composition and the loss of minor components during sample preparation (Koda et al, 2012). In addition, various metabolites can be detected simultaneously by NMR.…”

Comprehensive NMR Analysis of Compositional Changes of Black Garlic during Thermal Processing

“…NMR techniques are useful for monitoring composition changes during food processing such as fermentation, thermal processing, and ripening. 21 To date, metabolite changes in black garlic during thermal processing have not been reported. These changes could be detected by the one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) NMR spectra of black garlic with different degrees of thermal processing.…”

Identification of metabolites in coriander seeds (Coriandrum Sativum L.) aided by ultrahigh resolution total correlation NMR spectroscopy

“…In some situations where a narrow chemical shift region is to be studied, band‐selective homodecoupling methods or homonuclear band selective method is favorable. Band‐selective NMR experiments (i.e., F 2 ‐selective TOCSY) have been applied for the measurement of a single specific region and to identify low abundant metabolites for the quantification of trace components in complex matrix, and for metabolic discrimination of mango juice from various cultivars, and rice wines . 1D band‐selective TOCSY has been reported for removing the integral background from unresolved peaks and thereby to improve the result of subpopulation cluster resolution in human urine samples …”
