“…Although haskap fruit are noted for their deep blue colour and high pigmentation, there have been very few published accounts of analytical measurements of fruit colour (Ochmian et al 2012;Yamamoto et al 2014;Lee et al 2015). These research groups assessed fruit colour in the CIE L*a*b* colour space at several stages of ripening and provided the opportunity to make comparisons with fruit from our experiment.…”

“…In comparison with colour data reported by Ochmian et al (2012), haskap fruit within our study were most similar in colour to 'Wojtek' and 'Brązowa' cultivars at the ripe stage of fruit development (ΔE 00 = 12-15). Lee et al (2015) assessed the colour of freeze-dried fruit harvested from a Korean haskap cultivar at seven stages of ripening. For this study, fruit at the seventh stage of ripening were the most similar in colour to the measurements of fruit colour within our study (ΔE 00 = 16).…”

Performance of five haskap (Lonicera caerulea L.) cultivars and the effect of hexanal on postharvest quality

et al. 2018

Growers are challenged to provide premium, ripe haskap fruit to market while limiting the negative attributes associated with over-ripening. Hexanal is an inhibitor of phospholipase D, an enzyme involved in membrane degradation, and has shown promise in extending the longevity of fruit. This study investigated the performance of a hexanal-based preharvest spray for enhancing the quality and shelf life of haskap fruit, an emerging crop in Canada. At two locations in 2015, 2016, and 2017, five cultivars were sprayed with a control treatment or a 0.02% hexanal formulation at 2-3 wk before harvest. Fruit was stored at 4°C and assessed for quality at successive times. Although inconsistent, results suggest a hexanal spray may impart a small benefit to the postharvest quality of haskap fruit. Secondary objectives included describing important agronomic characteristics of haskap and assessing the potential of a hexanal preharvest spray for enhancing fruit retention. Hexanal did not reduce fruit drop and had no effect on quality at harvest. Fruit contained high levels of soluble solids and titratable acids, were very dark in colour, and did not degrade in quality as rapidly as softer fruit crops such as strawberry or raspberry.

“…This metabolite might also contribute to the antioxidant activities in mangosteen fruit pericarp and perhaps involved in the metabolism of this fruit throughout the ripening process. As for the aromatic compounds, they are believed to provide characteristic aromas to ripening fruit, making it attractive towards seeds dispersal agents and consumers (Osorio et al, 2013;Lee et al, 2015). In this study, two aromatic compounds were successfully detected which are 2H-1benzopyran and benzaldehyde.…”

“…Alcohols, including sugar alcohols as well as sugar acids and organic acids were also identified but at lower percentages (approximately 6-10%) compared to sugars (49.32%) (Fig 1). The levels of sugars and organic acids can contribute to the combination of sweetness and acidity of fruit during ripening process (Lee et al, 2015). However, as this study only used the fully ripened mangosteen fruit pericarp, a more thorough study using different ripening stages and tissues (pericarp and aril) is needed to elucidate sugar and organic acid changes throughout its ripening process.…”

Garcinia mangostana Linn. (mangosteen) reportedly contains several bioactive metabolites which have been used in various traditional disease treatment, nutritional supplement and skincare products. However, reports detailing its characterization and metabolite content are still scarce. Most of the earlier reports only focused on the extraction of specific metabolites such as xanthones and anthocyanins, rather than a comprehensive metabolome profile. In this study, global metabolomics approach using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis was conducted to profile the metabolite content of mangosteen fruit pericarp harvested at the final stage of ripening (dark purple stage). Five different extraction methods, which vary in their solvent mixtures, solvent ratios, with or without sonication were compared, aimed to maximize metabolite detection from the mangosteen tissue. The results showed that the method using a combined solvent mixture of methanol/chloroform/water (3:1:1 v/v ratio) with sonication has consistent reproducibility amongst biological replicates and successfully yielded the highest number of metabolites compared to the other methods. By combining the results of different extraction methods, we tentatively identified a total of 73 metabolites comprising of sugars (49.32%), alcohols (9.59%), sugar acids (8.22%), organic acids (6.85%), phenolic acids (5.48%), aromatic compounds (2.74%) and aldehyde (1.37%). This finding provides an overview of the metabolite content of mangosteen pericarp and comprehensive assessment of extraction methods for an untargeted metabolomics approach of this beneficial fruit.

“…Particularly, honeyberry had the highest acidity among the berries. High organic acid levels accumulated during the fruit ripening of honeyberry, which may be related to its high acidity and sour taste (Lee et al, 2015 ). In the biosynthetic pathway, similar to chokeberry, dihydroquercetin-derived anthocyanins were detected in honeyberry, but no identical compounds were found.…”

Berries have been used as valuable sources of polyphenols for human health; however, injudicious uses of berries are widespread without regard to the specific metabolite constituent of each berry. We classified 6 different edible berries (honeyberry, blueberry, mandarin melonberry, mulberry, chokeberry, and Korean black raspberry) based on their metabolite distributions in biosynthetic pathways by non-targeted metabolite profiling and bioactive correlation analysis. Principal component analysis revealed a distinct clustering pattern of metabolites for each berry. Metabolic pathway analysis revealed different biosynthetic routes of secondary metabolites in each berry. Mandarin melonberry contains a relatively higher proportion of genistein, genistein glycoside, and genistein-derived isoflavonoids and prenylflavonoids than the other berries. Various anthocyanin glycosides, synthesized from dihydroquercetin and cyanidin, were more abundant in chokeberry and honeyberry, whereas high levels of flavonoid-and anthocyanins-rutinoside forms were observed in Korean black raspberry. The levels of anthocyanins derived from dihydromyricetin were high in blueberry. The highest anti-oxidant activity was observed in chokeberry and Korean black raspberry, which is positively related to the proportional concentration of flavonoids, phenolics, and anthocyanins. The lowest sugar contents were observed in Korean black raspberry, highest acidity in honeyberry, and lowest acidity in mandarin melonberry, which were specific characteristics among the berries. Taken together, biosynthetic pathway and physicochemical characteristics analyses revealed that the different synthesized routes of flavonoids and anthocyanins and associated bio-activities may be distinct features in each berry and explain their phenotypic diversity at the molecular level.
