Effect-Directed, Chemical and Taxonomic Profiling of Peppermint Proprietary Varieties and Corresponding Leaf Extracts.

ABSTRACT: During the development of novel, standardized peppermint extracts targeting functional applications, it is critical to adequately characterize raw material plant sources to assure quality and consistency of the end-product. This study aimed to characterize existing and proprietary, newly bred varieties of peppermint and their corresponding aqueous extract products. Taxonomy was confirmed through genetic authenticity assessment. Non-target effect-directed profiling was developed using high-performance thin-layer chromatography-multi-imaging-effect-directed assays (HPTLC-UV/Vis/FLD-EDA). Results demonstrated substantial differences in compounds associated with functional attributes, notably antioxidant potential, between the peppermint samples. Further chemical analysis by high-performance liquid chromatography-photodiode array/mass spectrometry detection (HPLC-PDA/MS) and headspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-flame ionization/MS detection (headspace SPME-GC-FID/MS) confirmed compositional differences. A broad variability in the contents of flavonoids and volatiles was observed. The peppermint samples were further screened for their antioxidant potential using the Caenorhabditis elegans model, and the results indicated concordance with observed content differences of the identified functional compounds. These results documented variability among raw materials of peppermint leaves, which can yield highly variable extract products that may result in differing effects on functional targets in vivo. Hence, product standardization via effect-directed profiles is proposed as an appropriate tool.

Project description:Moringa oleifera Lam. (Moringaceae) is revered as s 'miracle tree' due to its remarkable nutritional, medicinal and industrial uses. In our study, a comparative analysis of the nutritional parameters (antioxidant activity, sugar content-TSS, total soluble proteins-TSP and mineral contents), phytochemicals (HPLC analysis of four anticancer compounds), and cytotoxicity of M. oleifera leaf extracts (MLEs) of five selected varieties (conventional, PKM-1, PKM-2, ODC, and Jaffna), was performed. Jaffna variety possessed the highest antioxidant activity (FRAP) followed by other four varieties. The trend observed was: Jaffna (9.47 µg/mL, 18.48 µg/mL, 29.39 µg/mL, and 35.37 µg/mL) > PKM-1 (4.82 µg/mL, 7.63 µg/mL, 22.33 µg/mL, and 27.71 µg/mL) > PKM-2 (2.10 µg/mL, 7.04 µg/mL, 13.18 µg/mL, and 21.78 µg/mL) > ODC (0.17 µg/mL, 2.10 µg/mL, 4.41 µg/mL and 13.94 µg/mL) > Conventional (0.05 µg/mL, 1.08 µg/mL, 2.86 µg/mL, and 5.40 µg/mL), total soluble proteins (TSP) [0.69 ± 0.01 and 0.94 ± 0.01 µg/mL (young and mature stage, respectively)], sugar content (TSS) [0.39 ± 0.01 and 0.51 ± 0.01 µg/mL (young and mature stage, respectively)], chlorophyll content [1.07 ± 0.01 (plantlet stage), 1.36 ± 0.003 (vegetative-stage), 0.82 ± 0.004 (reproductive stage) mg/g], followed by the other four varieties. The trend observed for cytotoxic activities of ethanolic MLEs on HepG2 cell line, based on the IC50 values, was conventional (1.22 mg/mL) > ODC (0.90 mg/mL) > PKM-2 (0.65 mg/mL) > PKM-1 (0.35 mg/mL) > Jaffna (0.15 mg/mL). The results of HPLC quantification of anticancer compounds [beta-sitosterol (0.244%), quercetin (0.216%), kaempferol (0.013%), and moringin (0.063%)] was also in consonance with that of MTT assay. In summary, the trend observed in all the parameters tested was Jaffna > PKM-1 > PKM-2 > ODC > conventional. Thus, Jaffna variety has a better potential to combat malnutrition and cancer and must be recommended for commercial plantations.

Project description:The bunching onion is an important leafy vegetable, prized for its distinctive flavor and color. It is consumed year-round in Japan, where a stable supply is essential. However, in recent years, the challenges posed by climate change and global warming have resulted in adverse effects on bunching onions, including stunted growth, discoloration, and the development of leaf tipburn, threatening both crop quality and yield. Furthermore, as bunching onion belongs to the Allium genus, which includes globally significant vegetables such as onion and garlic, studying the impact of climate change on bunching onion serves as an ideal model. The insights gained can also be applied to other crops and regions. This study investigates the effects of different summer growth conditions on the metabolite profile of heat-tolerant bunching onions with dark green leaf blade coloration and examines their association with leaf tipburn. Pigment compound quantification, functional component analysis, leaf tipburn rate assessment, and widely targeted metabolome profiling were performed across two commercial F1 varieties, one purebred variety, and six Yamaguchi Prefecture-bred F1 lines under different growing conditions. The results obtained were subjected to comparative analyses based on the varieties and groups classified by high and low leaf tipburn rates. The results revealed that β-carotene accumulation peaked with May sowing and July harvest, while the highest accumulation of other pigment compounds was observed with May sowing and September harvest. Additionally, metabolome analysis related to leaf tipburn rates identified several organosulfur compounds, with gamma-glutamyl-propenyl cysteine sulfoxide emerging as one of the key compounds. Based on the intensity data, the fold change of this metabolite was calculated to be 1.66, indicating an increase in the leaf tipburn group compared to the control group. In the control groups, organosulfur compounds appeared to undergo turnover in preparation for stress response. In contrast, in the leaf tipburn groups, it is hypothesized that organosulfur compounds were converted into precursors of pungency, resulting in inadequate responses to stress. This study aims to elucidate the mechanisms through which organosulfur compounds transition into pungent compounds and to develop varieties with improved resistance to leaf tipburn.
