Changes in the Primary Metabolites of 'Fengtang' Plums during Storage Detected by Widely Targeted Metabolomics.

ABSTRACT: Plums are one of the most popular stone fruits worldwide owing to their high nutritional value. After harvest, plum fruit quality and flavor change during storage; however, little is known about the changes in metabolites during this period. A comprehensive comparison of primary metabolites in 'Fengtang' plum fruits during storage is performed using widely targeted primary metabolomics. A total of 272 primary metabolites were identified by means of ultra-performance liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) in the plums at different storage periods. There was a significant increase in the relative amounts of twenty-eight lipids, twenty amino acids and their derivatives, thirteen organic acids, ten saccharides and alcohols, six nucleotides and their derivatives, and tw
