Selective Enhancement of Caffeoylquinic Acid Derivative via UV Irradiation and Validation of Analytical Method in the Aerial <i>Aster</i> × <i>chusanensis</i> Y. S. Lim.

ABSTRACT: Aster × chusanensis Y.S.Lim is equipped with mass plant growth strategies that can potentially develop into functional foods. A. chusanensis was grown on a vertical farm until it was budding. The plants were transported to a growth chamber equipped with ultraviolet (UV)-A and UV-B lights and irradiated for 48 h. The base peak intensity (BPI) of the A. chusanensis control displayed eight predominant metabolites, namely, 3-O-caffeoylquinic acid, rutin, 3,4-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid, 3,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid, biorobin, luteolin-7-O-β-glucoside, 4,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid, and luteolin, as identified using LC-Q-TOF/MS analysis. UV-A-irradiated A. chusanensis showed an increase in the content of caffeoylquinic acid (CQA) derivatives (peaks 1, 3, 4, and 7)
