Polyphenol-based nuclear magnetic resonance non-targeted metabolomics of temperature- and time-controlled blue and red maize sprouting

Abstract

Zea mays L corps apport to human consumption, complex matrices of compounds such as free and bounded phenolics, flavonoids and anthocyanins with high nutritional values and proved health benefits, which are dynamically synthesized since sprouting of grains. This study presents for the first time a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) non-targeted metabolomics study of aqueous methanolic extracts of Mexican native blue and red Zea mays L. sprouts, produced with a specific germination scheme, at three different controlled temperatures. The proposed model comprises the rationalization of (poly)-phenolics metabolism dynamics as a function of sprouting time and temperature, which can be identified by more than thirty 1H NMR discriminant resonances at a chemical shift range between 7.7 and 6.3 ppm -mostly comprising typical hydroxyphenyl polyphenolic 1H frequencies- obtained with multivariate statistical analysis. Both principal component (PCA) and orthogonal projections to latent structures discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) reveal a unique maize strain-, temperature- and time-dependent mapping of polyphenolic machinery during sprouting that might serve for optimizing germination schemes. Strengths and limitations of PCA and OPLS-DA analysis of non-targeted (poly)-phenolics NMR data matrix obtained from different blue and red maize sprouts’ methanolic extracts are discussed. Furthermore, a clear inverse correlation between temperature- and time-dependent signal intensity modulation of phenolic resonances and water line widths at half height is observed, suggesting a mechanism of how solvent could participate within the complex metabolomic matrix formation during germination. Finally, non-targeted NMR metabolomics data from sprouts’ methanolic extracts are contrasted with temperature- and time-dependent total phenolic contents obtained with standard quantitative methods.

Observation and Nursing of Adverse Reactions in Severe Patients with Enhanced MRI

“…It is easy to produce negative emotions such as fear, irritability, depression and anxiety. Some patients can not complete the examination due to noise and body position discomfort, which reduces the patient's cooperation compliance and adversely affects the scanning results [ 2 , 3 ]. High quality nursing is that nurses integrate the nursing concept of “people-oriented and patient-centered” and humanistic care into nursing work, and provide high-quality nursing services for patients on the basis of basic nursing and routine nursing services [ 4 , 5 ].…”

Targeted metabolic reveals different part of maize in polyphenolic metabolites during germination and hypoglycemic activity analysis

“…In 2021, global maize production reached 1197 million tonnes, and it is used as a staple food in several regions, such as Africa, Asia and Latin America, for processing the products and providing feed in some parts of Asia ( Erenstein, Jaleta, Sonder, Mottaleb & Prasanna, 2022 ). Maize kernels are rich in protein, fat, vitamins, phenolic compounds, and other active substances, which are suitable for people with high blood sugar and cholesterol ( Carreño-Carrillo et al, 2021 , Suriano et al, 2021 ). Moreover, maize is a high-quality source of dietary grains to produce extremely nutritious functional foods for humans ( Jiao, Chen, Han, & Chang, 2022 ).…”
