Target and Suspect HRMS Metabolomics for the Determination of Functional Ingredients in 13 Varieties of Olive Leaves and Drupes from Greece.

ABSTRACT: The huge interest in the health-related properties of foods to improve health has brought about the development of sensitive analytical methods for the characterization of natural products with functional ingredients. Greek olive leaves and drupes constitute a valuable source of biophenols with functional properties. A novel ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time of flight tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QTOF-MS) analytical method was developed to identify biophenols through target and suspect screening in Greek olive leaves and drupes of the varieties: Koroneiki, Throumbolia, Konservolia, Koutsourelia, Kalamon, Petrolia, Amigdalolia, Megaritiki, Mastoeidis, Agouromanakolia, Agrilia, Adramitiani and Kolovi. The method's performance was evaluated using the target compounds: oleuropein, tyrosol and hydroxytyrosol. The analytes demonstrated satisfactory recovery efficiency for both leaves (85.9-90.5%) and drupes (89.7-92.5%). Limits of detection (LODs) were relatively low over the range 0.038 (oleuropein)-0.046 (hydroxytyrosol) and 0.037 (oleuropein)-0.048 (hydroxytyrosol) for leaves and drupes, respectively For leaves, the precision limit ranged between 4.7 and 5.8% for intra-day and between 5.8 and 6.5% for inter-day experiments, and for drupes, it ranged between 3.8 and 5.2% for intra-day and between 5.1 and 6.2% for inter-day experiments, establishing the good precision of the method. The regression coefficient (r2) was above 0.99 in all cases. Furthermore, the preparation of herbal tea from olive leaves is suggested after investigating the optimum infusion time of dried leaves in boiling water. Overall, 10 target and 36 suspect compounds were determined in leaves, while seven targets and thirty-three suspects were identified in drupes, respectively.

Project description:Persimmon leaves are used for making persimmon leaf tea or as functional ingredients due to their enrichment in flavonoids, the beneficial mineral contents, and favorable flavors contributed by volatile aroma compounds. The varieties/cultivars had a significant influence on the quality and flavor of persimmon leaf tea. In this study, the integrated metabolomic-transcriptomic analysis was conducted to investigate the potential in flavonoid biosynthesis, mineral absorption, and degradation of aromatic compounds from tender leaves of "Diospyros kaki. Heishi" (HS), "Diospyros kaki Thunb. Nishimurawase" (NM), and "Diospyros kaki Thunb. Taifu" (TF), using rootstock "Diospyros Lotus Linn" (DL) as the control. The metabolomic analysis showed that 382, 391, and 368 metabolites were differentially accumulated in the comparison of DL vs. HS, DL vs. NM, and DL vs. TF, respectively, and 229 common metabolites were obtained by comparative analysis. By RNA sequencing, 182,008 unigenes with 652 bp of mean length were annotated and 2,598, 3,503, and 3,333 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were detected from the comparison of DL vs. HS, DL vs. NM, and DL vs. TF, respectively. After the Gene Ontology (GO) and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment, 6, 6, and 3 DEGs [with | log2(fold change)| ≥ 1 simultaneously in the three comparisons] involved in flavonoid biosynthesis, mineral absorption, and degradation of aromatic compounds, respectively, were selected for quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) validation and the consistent trends of the relative expression level of each DEG with RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data were observed. Based on the transcriptomic analysis and qRT-PCR validation, it was observed that the leaves of HS, NM, and TF had the greatest level of mineral absorption, flavonoid biosynthesis, and degradation of aromatic compounds, respectively. In addition, a positive correlation between the 15 DEGs and their metabolites was observed by the conjoint analysis. Thus, the tender leaves of HS, NM, and TF could be recommended for the production of persimmon leaf tea rich in mineral elements, flavonoid, and aroma compounds, respectively.

Project description:The main objective of this research was to understand the effect of different solvents (ethanol, ethyl acetate, and hexane) on the extraction of bioactive compounds in addition to the antioxidant activity of eight Tunisian and Algerian olive leaf (Olea europaea L) cultivars. The different extracts were evaluated for their content of total phenols, flavonoids, and condensed tannins. The antioxidant capacity was determined by ABTS (2,2-azinobis (3 ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) and DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1 picrylhydrazyl) methods. In addition, qualitative and quantitative analyses of phenolic compounds by HPLC were performed. In terms of phenolic content, ethanol was found to be the best solvent to extract phenolic compounds with antioxidant capacity. The ethanolic extract of Sigoise and Rougette varieties were the richest in total phenols 161.54 ± 0.99, and 160.53 ± 1.17 mg GAE/g DE respectively. The highest levels of flavonoids were detected in ethyl acetate extracts of Rougette (87.58 ± 6.99 mg QE/g DE) and Verdal varieties (86.77 ± 1.75 mg QE/g DE), whereas the hexanolic extracts of Gerboui, Sofiana, and Chemlali exhibited the higher amount of tannins (67.99 ± 5.41, 65.52 ± 1.94, 64.64 ± 1.51 mg CE/g DE, respectively). Furthermore, in the DPPH radical scavenging activity assay, the Sofiana extract exhibited the highest antioxidant activity (23.85 ± 0.58 mg/L). In another case, for the ABTS radical scavenging assay, the Verdal extract showed high antioxidant potential (30.22 ± 1.35 mg/L). HPLC analysis of ethanolic extracts of the different varieties allowed the identification of 19 organic compounds, with oleuropein (2604.01-7991.14 mg/100g DM) being the most abundant, followed by hydroxytyrosol (250.74-687.54 mg/100g DM) and verbascoside (216.12-672.64 mg/100g DM) being the major compounds in the olive leaves in all studied ethanolic extracts, with concentrations varying significantly according to the cultivars and geographical origin. Principal component analysis (PCA) performed on phenolic profiles and antioxidant activities revealed the influence of bioactive compounds on antioxidant activity, with high concentrations of phenols and flavonoids in olive leaf extracts having a strong antioxidant activity.
