LC-MS/MS-based metabolomic study provides insights into altitude-dependent variations in flavonoid profiles of strawberries.

ABSTRACT: Environmental conditions significantly influence the metabolic composition and quality attributes of fruits. This study investigated the impact of altitude-associated environmental variation on flavonoid profiles and fruit quality parameters by comparing the "Red Face" strawberry variety grown in two distinct locations: high-altitude-associated environmental conditions in Zhaotong and low-altitude conditions in Dandong. Using LC-MS/MS analysis, we identified 163 bioactive flavonoids, comprising 85 flavonols, 37 flavanones, 33 flavones, and 8 flavanonols. The high-altitude environment of Zhaotong significantly enhanced specific flavonoid compounds, with notable increases in neohesperidin (20.4-fold), tamarixetin-3-O-glucoside-7-O-rhamnoside (17.7-fold), isovitexin (9.1-fold), and hesperidin
