Metabolite Differences of Polyphenols in Different Litchi Cultivars (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) Based on Extensive Targeted Metabonomics.

ABSTRACT: Litchi is an important fruit cultivated in tropical and subtropical areas with high nutritious and delicious flavor and the pulp is the main part of the fruit consumed. Previous studies found that litchi had high total phenol content and antioxidant activity, but most of them focused on the identification of single or a few phenolic components with a low throughput test, and the metabolic differences of cultivars are still unknown to a some extent. In this study we used widely targeted metabolome based on ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) to analyze the polyphenol metabolites of five different genotypes of mature litchi fruit. A total of 126 polyphenol metabolites in eight categories were identified to reveal the composition and differences
