Rapid detection of adulteration in powder of ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) by FT-NIR spectroscopy combined with chemometrics.

ABSTRACT: Ginger powder (GP) is a popular spice in the world. Duo to its nutritional value, GP is regarded as an attractive target for adulteration, which is not easily detected. In this study, chromaticity analysis and Fourier transform near-infrared (FT-NIR) spectroscopy combined with chemometrics were developed to identify and quantify of GP and its adulterants. The result showed that GPs and adulterated GPs cannot be completely distinguished by chromaticity analysis. While, the optimized NIR spectra could accurately distinguish the authentic GPs from those adulterated samples. Random forest and gradient boosting algorithms exhibited the highest accuracies (100%) in classification. Moreover, a quantitative model was successfully established to predict the adulteration level in GP. The optimal parameters of prediction to deviation were 8.92, 13.68, 14.61, and 4.30, for pure and adulterated GPs. Overall, FT-NIR spectroscopy is a promising tool, which can quickly identify potential adulteration in GP and track the types of adulterants.

Project description:BackgroundBiocompatible Pickering emulsions (PE) stabilized by tailor-made antioxidant-loaded particles have been known for some time now, but antioxidant-rich natural plant particle-based emulsions are much less well known. This study aimed to investigate the physico-chemical properties of commercial Zingiber officinale powders obtained from biological and conventional agricultural practice and ginger powder-based PE.ResultsThe physico-chemical and biological properties of Zingiber officinale powders (GDPs) obtained from conventional (GDPC1 and GDPC2) and biological agricultural (GDPBIO) practices, and the properties of derived PE (PE_GDPs) were examined. All GDPs showed weak aggregation in aqueous media and a sufficiently hydrophobic surface to stabilize oil-in-water (O/W) PE against coalescence for at least 1 month. Zingiber officinale powders (2% w/w) derived from biological agricultural practices (GDPBIO) demonstrated the best emulsifying properties. The Zingiber officinale powders and PE_GDPs were also characterized by their phytochemical profiles. All the investigated samples exhibited ferric reducing ability power greater than the positive control, butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), with values ranging from 91.21 to 102.63 μmol L-1 Fe (II) g-1 for GDPC2 and 05PE_GDPC1 (O/W=1:1), respectively. In β-carotene bleaching test the following trend GDPC1 > GDPBIO > GDPC2 was observed. A 05PE_GDPBIO sample with the oil volume fraction equal to 50% was stable to oxidation and exhibited a promising α-amylase inhibitory activity.ConclusionThe results suggest that ginger powder should be used as a starting point to design biocompatible PEs for different applications in the functional food, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical industries. In fact, powder and based PE are characterized by a promising antioxidant activity, carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzyme and lipase inhibitory properties. Further in vivo studies are necessary to confirm these findings. © 2022 The Authors.

Project description:BackgroundMicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous, non-coding small functional RNAs that govern the post-transcriptional regulatory system of gene expression and control the growth and development of plants. Ginger is an herb that is well-known for its flavor and medicinal properties. The genes involved in ginger rhizome development and secondary metabolism have been discovered, but the genome-wide identification of miRNAs and their overall expression profiles and targets during ginger rhizome development are largely unknown. In this study, we used BGISEQ-500 technology to perform genome-wide identification of miRNAs from the leaf, stem, root, flower, and rhizome of ginger during three development stages.ResultsIn total, 104 novel miRNAs and 160 conserved miRNAs in 28 miRNA families were identified. A total of 181 putative target genes for novel miRNAs and 2772 putative target genes for conserved miRNAs were predicted. Transcriptional factors were the most abundant target genes of miRNAs, and 17, 9, 8, 4, 13, 8, 3 conserved miRNAs and 5, 7, 4, 5, 5, 15, 9 novel miRNAs showed significant tissue-specific expression patterns in leaf, stem, root, flower, and rhizome. Additionally, 53 miRNAs were regarded as rhizome development-associated miRNAs, which mostly participate in metabolism, signal transduction, transport, and catabolism, suggesting that these miRNAs and their target genes play important roles in the rhizome development of ginger. Twelve candidate miRNA target genes were selected, and then, their credibility was confirmed using qRT-PCR. As the result of qRT-PCR analysis, the expression of 12 candidate target genes showed an opposite pattern after comparison with their miRNAs. The rhizome development system of ginger was observed to be governed by miR156, miR319, miR171a_2, miR164, and miR529, which modulated the expression of the SPL, MYB, GRF, SCL, and NAC genes, respectively.ConclusionThis is a deep genome-wide investigation of miRNA and identification of miRNAs involved in rhizome development in ginger. We identified 52 rhizome-related miRNAs and 392 target genes, and this provides an important basis for understanding the molecular mechanisms of the miRNA target genes that mediate rhizome development in ginger.

Project description:BackgroundPlant-associated microorganisms can be found in various plant niches and collectively comprise the plant microbiome. The plant microbiome assemblages have been extensively studied, primarily in model species. However, a deep understanding of the microbiome assembly associated with plant health is still needed. Ginger rhizome rot has been variously attributed to multiple individual causal agents. Due to its global relevance, we used ginger and rhizome rot as a model to elucidate the metabolome-driven microbiome assembly associated with plant health.ResultsOur study thoroughly examined the biodiversity of soilborne and endophytic microbiota in healthy and diseased ginger plants, highlighting the impact of bacterial and fungal microbes on plant health and the specific metabolites contributing to a healthy microbial community. Metabarcoding allowed for an in-depth analysis of the associated microbial community. Dominant genera represented each microbial taxon at the niche level. According to linear discriminant analysis effect size, bacterial species belonging to Sphingomonas, Quadrisphaera, Methylobacterium-Methylorubrum, Bacillus, as well as the fungal genera Pseudaleuria, Lophotrichus, Pseudogymnoascus, Gymnoascus, Mortierella, and Eleutherascus were associated with plant health. Bacterial dysbiosis related to rhizome rot was due to the relative enrichment of Pectobacterium, Alcaligenes, Klebsiella, and Enterobacter. Similarly, an imbalance in the fungal community was caused by the enrichment of Gibellulopsis, Pyxidiophorales, and Plectosphaerella. Untargeted metabolomics analysis revealed several metabolites that drive microbiome assembly closely related to plant health in diverse microbial niches. At the same time, 6-({[3,4-dihydroxy-4-(hydroxymethyl)oxolan-2-yl]oxy}methyl)oxane-2,3,4,5-tetrol was present at the level of the entire healthy ginger plant. Lipids and lipid-like molecules were the most significant proportion of highly abundant metabolites associated with ginger plant health versus rhizome rot disease.ConclusionsOur research significantly improves our understanding of metabolome-driven microbiome structure to address crop protection impacts. The microbiome assembly rather than a particular microbe's occurrence drove ginger plant health. Most microbial species and metabolites have yet to be previously identified in ginger plants. The indigenous microbial communities and metabolites described can support future strategies to induce plant disease resistance. They provide a foundation for further exploring pathogens, biocontrol agents, and plant growth promoters associated with economically important crops. Video Abstract.
