Identification of Distinctive Primary Metabolites Influencing Broccoli (Brassica oleracea, var. Italica) Taste.

ABSTRACT: Broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. var. Italica Plenck) is a cruciferous crop that is considered to be a good source of micronutrients. Better taste is a main objective for breeding, as consumers are demanding novel cultivars suited for a healthy diet, but ones that are more palatable. This study aimed to identify primary metabolites related to cultivars with better taste according to a consumer panel. For this purpose, we performed a complete primary metabolomic profile of 20 different broccoli cultivars grown in the field and contrasted the obtained data with the results of a consumer panel which evaluated the taste of the same raw buds. A statistical analysis was conducted to find primary metabolites correlating with better score in the taste panels. According to our
