Simon Kinkéliba (Combretum micranthum, Fam. Combretaceae) is an undomesticated shrub species of western Africa and is one of the most popular traditional bush teas of Senegal. The herbal beverage is traditionally used for weight loss, digestion, as a diuretic and mild antibiotic, and to relieve pain. The fresh leaves are used to treat malarial fever. Leaf extracts, the most biologically active plant tissue relative to stem, bark and roots, were screened for antioxidant capacity, measuring the removal of a radical by UV/VIS spectrophotometry, anti-inflammatory activity, measuring inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in RAW 264.7 macrophage cells, and glucose-lowering activity, measuring phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) mRNA expression in an H4IIE rat hepatoma cell line. Radical oxygen scavenging activity, or antioxidant capacity, was utilized for initially directing the fractionation; highlighted subfractions and isolated compounds were subsequently tested for anti-inflammatory and glucose-lowering activities. The ethyl acetate and n-butanol fractions of the crude leaf extract were fractionated leading to the isolation and identification of a number of polyphenolic ii compounds.

Abstract In the cool winegrowing regions of Michigan, USA and Canterbury, New Zealand, Vitis vinifera L. Pinot noir is an economically important red winegrape cultivar. Both regions have problems with the color of Pinot noir wines based on anthocyanin concentration. Thus, anthocyanin concentration of V. vinifera L. Pinot noir fruit was investigated using three clones and two growing locations, Canterbury, New Zealand and Michigan, USA. Wines were made from Michigan sample vines, and analyzed for anthocyanin. Utilizing HPLC (High Pressure Liquid Chromatography) techniques, the five main anthocyanins (1-5), in the fruit and wine were identified and quantified based on cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (4, C3G), and total anthocyanin concentration in grapes and wine was compared.

  • ABSTRACT YUZUAK, SEYIT. Utilizing Metabolomics and Model Systems
    ABSTRACT YUZUAK, SEYIT. Utilizing Metabolomics and Model Systems to Gain Insight into Precursors and Polymerization of Proanthocyanidins in Plants (Under the direction of Dr. De-Yu Xie). Proanthocyanidins (PAs) are oligomers or polymers of flavan-3-ols. In plants, PAs have multiple protective functions against biotic and abiotic stresses. PAs are also important nutraceuticals existing in common beverages and food products to benefit human health. To date, although the biosynthesis of PAs has been intensively studieed and fundamental progress has been made in over the past decades, many questions remain unanswered. For example, its direct precursors of extension units are unknown and their monomer structure diversity are also unclear. These questions about proanthocyanidins result from not having of model systems and effective technologies. Our laboratory has made significant progress in enhancing the understanding of these unknown and unclear points regarding proanthocyanidins. In my dissertation research reported here, I focus on two areas: testing muscadine as a crop system to develop metabolomics for studying precursor diversity and isolating enzymes from a red cell tobacco system to understand the precursors of the extension units of PA. First, I developed a metabolomics protocol to analyze anthocyanidins and anthocyanins in muscadine grape. This study demonstrated that muscadine berries can produce at least six anthocyanidins, revealing the diversity of pathway precursors for PAs. The Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry is reviewing this work. Second, I developed a metabolomics protocol of HPLC-qTOF-MS/MS to analyze flavan- 3-ols and dimeric PAs in muscadine grape. This study also demonstrated the high structure diversity of flavan-3-ols, particularly methylated flavan-3-ols.

  • ABSTRACT ZENG, HAINIAN. Development
    ABSTRACT ZENG, HAINIAN. Development-dependent Formation and Metabolism of Anthocyanins and Proanthocyanidins in Acer Species. (Under the direction of David Danehower, William Hoffmann, Jenny Xiang and De-yu Xie). Anthocyanins are one of the richest pigments, which belong to flavonoid compounds in plant kingdom. They have many biological and ecological functions. Over the past many years, numerous efforts have been made to determine the biosynthetic pathway of anthocyanins and also to identify several regulatory proteins mainly in flowers and fruits of model plants and crop plants. However, many questions concerning the metabolism of anthocyanins in foliage remains unsolved. One example is “How can developmental processes impact on accumulation patterns of anthocyanins in leaves”. In this study, we choose several cultivars from one of the most popular ornamental plants Acer palmatum Thunb. to understand the mechanism of developmental changes of pigmentation in leaf. Several other maple species were also analyzed. We propose that the metabolism of anthocyanins play an essential role in such changes. We use an integrated approach of phytochemistry and metabolic profiling to determine the biosynthesis and metabolism of anthocyanins and their impacts on foliage color. Proanthocyanidin analysis was carried out as well to determine their relationship to both anthocyanin production and foliar coloration. We have found that even for green leaves with no/trace amount of detectable anthocyanins, the biosynthetic pathway of anthocyanidin/proanthocyanidin

Anthocyanins also play significant roles in plant propagation, ecophysiology, and plant defense mechanisms. Structurally, anthocyanins are anthocyanidins modified by sugars and acyl acids. Anthocyanin colors are susceptible to pH, light, temperatures, and metal ions. The stability of anthocyanins is controlled by various factors, including inter and intramolecular complexations. Chromatographic and spectrometric methods have been extensively used for the extraction, isolation, and identification of anthocyanins. Anthocyanins play a major role in the pharmaceutical; nutraceutical; and food coloring, flavoring, and preserving industries. Research in these areas has not satisfied the urge for natural and sustainable colors and supplemental products. The lability of anthocyanins under various formulated conditions is the primary reason for this delay. New gene editing technologies to modify anthocyanin structures in vivo and the structural modification of anthocyanin via semi-synthetic methods offer new opportunities in this area. This review focusses on the biogenetics of anthocyanins; their colors, structural modifications, and stability; their various applications in human health and welfare; and advances in the field. Keywords: anthocyanins; anthocyanidins; biogenetics; polyphenols; flavonoids; plant pigments; anthocyanin bioactivities 1. Introduction Anthocyanins are water soluble pigments that occur in most vascular plants.

  • Untargeted Metabolomics of Purple and Orange-Fleshed Sweet Potatoes
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Untargeted metabolomics of purple and orange‑feshed sweet potatoes reveals a large structural diversity of anthocyanins and favonoids Alexandra A. Bennett1,3,4, Elizabeth H. Mahood1,4, Kai Fan2 & Gaurav D. Moghe 1* Anthocyanins are economically valuable phytochemicals of signifcant relevance to human health. Industrially extracted from multiple fruit and vegetable sources, anthocyanin yield and profles can vary between sources and growing conditions. In this study, we focused on three purple‑feshed and one orange‑feshed cultivars of sweet potato—a warm‑weather, nutritious crop of substantial interest to growers in northern, cooler latitudes—to determine the yield and diversity of anthocyanins and favonoids. Acidifed ethanol extraction of lyophilized roots yielded ~ 800 mg average anthocyanins/100 g dry weight from all three cultivars. UHPLC‑DAD‑Orbitrap analysis of sweet potato extracts identifed 18 high‑confdence, mostly acylated peonidin and cyanidin derivatives contributing to > 90% of the total anthocyanin signal. Further assessment of the untargeted Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry data using deep learning and molecular networking identifed over 350 favonoid peaks with variable distributions in diferent sweet potato cultivars. These results provide a novel insight into anthocyanin content of purple‑feshed sweet potatoes grown in the northern latitudes, and reveal the large structural diversity of anthocyanins and favonoids in this popular crop. Anthocyanins are water-soluble phytochemical pigments of signifcant health and economic value, which belong to a class of polyphenolic compounds called favonoids. Found in many fruits and vegetables, favonoids possess antioxidant activities of beneft in managing ageing, stress, cancer and other health conditions, which makes them desirable for cosmetic, nutritional and health industry applications1–3.

Polyphenols are the principal compounds associated with health bene�c effects of wine consumption and in general are characterized by antioxidant activities. Mass spectrometry is shown to play a very important role in the research of polyphenols in grape and wine and for the quality control of products. e so ionization of LC/MS makes these techniques suitable to study the structures of polyphenols and anthocyanins in grape extracts and to characterize polyphenolic derivatives formed in wines and correlated to the sensorial characteristics of the product. e coupling of the several MS techniques presented here is shown to be highly effective in structural characterization of the large number of low and high molecular weight polyphenols in grape and wine and also can be highly effective in the study of grape metabolomics. 1. Principal Polyphenols of Grape and Wine During winemaking the condensed (or nonhydrolyzable) tannins are transferred to the wine and contribute strongly to Polyphenols are the principal compounds associated to the sensorial characteristic of the product.

  • Transcriptome Sequencing and Metabolite Analysis for Revealing
    Wu et al. BMC Genomics (2016) 17:897 DOI 10.1186/s12864-016-3226-9 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Transcriptome sequencing and metabolite analysis for revealing the blue flower formation in waterlily Qian Wu1,2, Jie Wu1,2, Shan-Shan Li1*, Hui-Jin Zhang1, Cheng-Yong Feng1,2, Dan-Dan Yin1,2, Ru-Yan Wu1,3 and Liang-Sheng Wang1* Abstract Background: Waterlily (Nymphaea spp.), a perennial herbaceous aquatic plant, is divided into two ecological groups: hardy waterlily and tropical waterlily. Although the hardy waterlily has no attractive blue flower cultivar, its adaptability is stronger than tropical waterlily because it can survive a cold winter. Thus, breeding hardy waterlily with real blue flowers has become an important target for breeders. Molecular breeding may be a useful way. However, molecular studies on waterlily are limited due to the lack of sequence data. Results: In this study, six cDNA libraries generated from the petals of two different coloring stages of blue tropical waterlily cultivar Nymphaea ‘King of Siam’ were sequenced using the Illumina HiSeq™ 2500 platform. Each library produced no less than 5.65 Gb clean reads. Subsequently, de novo assembly generated 112,485 unigenes, including 26,206 unigenes annotated to seven public protein databases. Then, 127 unigenes could be identified as putative homologues of color-related genes in other species, including 28 up-regulated and 5 down-regulated unigenes. In petals, 16 flavonoids (4 anthocyanins and 12 flavonols) were detected in different contents during the color development due to the different expression levels of color-related genes, and four flavonols were detected in waterlily for the first time.
