Quantification and identification analysis of Ziziphus jujuba Mill. peel pigmentation at different developmental stages.

ABSTRACT: The fruit peel of a color mutant jujube cultivar, 'Sanbianhong' (SBF), was investigated using an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography quadrupole Orbitrap mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap MS) at five ripening stages (S1, Young fruit stage; S2, swelling stage; S3, white-mature stage; S4, pre-mature stage and S5, mature stage). Lutein, β-carotene, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and 13 anthocyanins were identified. Chlorophyll a and cyanidin 3-O-galactoside were considered key color metabolites in S1 with the content of 1.083 mg/g of fresh weight (FW) and 4.585 mg/g of FW, respectively. Delphinidin (0.488 mg/g FW) and cyanidin (6.259 mg/g FW) were identified as the key pigments in S3. Delphinidin 3-O-glucoside (0.256 mg/g FW) was identified as the key anthocyanin
