However, little is known about their coloration mechanism and color inheritance. In this study, petal pigment constituents of three Rhododendron pulchrum Sweet cultivars with different colors were clarified based on LC- ESI-MS/MS method. Using a broad-targeted metabolomic approach, a total of 149 flavonoids and their glycosylated or methylated derivatives were identified, including 18 anthocyanins (Pg, Cy, Dp, Pn, Pt, and Mv) and 32 flavonols (mainly kaempferol 3-O-glycosides and quercetin 3-O-glycosides). Moreover, anthocyanins were mainly represented by anthocyanidin-3-O-glycosides (glucoside, rutinoside, galactoside, and di-glyco- sides). Flavone and C-glycosylated flavone were major second metabolites responsible for the difference among three different R. pulchrum cultivars. The accumulation of total flavonoids displayed a clear phenotypic variation: cultivars ‘zihe’ and ‘fenhe’ were clustered together, while ‘baihe’ was clustered alone in the HCA analysis. The composition and content of anthocyanins were more complex in colored flowers (‘zehe’ and ‘fenhe’) than in white flower (‘baihe’). This study further enhanced our understanding on the flavonoids profile of flower coloration and will provide biochemical basis for further genetic breeding in Rhododendron species. Keywords.

Marucci Center for Blueberry and Cranberry Research and Extension, Rutgers University, 125A Lake Oswego Road, Chatsworth, NJ 08019 James J. Polashock1 USDA—ARS Fruit Lab, 125A Lake Oswego Road, Chatsworth, NJ 08019 ADDITIONAL INDEX WORDS. Vaccinium macrocarpon, Vaccinium oxycoccus, antioxidant, bioavailability, flavonoid ABSTRACT. The flavonoids of american cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon Alt.) are documented to be beneficial for hu- man health. Among their benefits is a high antioxidant potential, with anthocyanin glycosides being the main contribu- tors. Flavonoid glucose conjugates are reported to be more bioavailable than those with other sugar conjugates. The anthocyanin glycosides of V. macrocarpon fruit are mainly galactosides and arabinosides of the aglycones, cyanidin and peonidin, with less than 8% glucosides. In contrast, the fruit anthocyanins of another cranberry species, V. oxycoccus L. were found to be largely glucosides of cyanidin and peonidin. Interspecific hybrids between these two species were intermediate to the parental species in the proportion of fruit anthocyanin glucosides. About half the progeny (1:1 segregation) in a backcross population (to V. macrocarpon) maintained the relatively high anthocyanin glucoside ratio. In this study, we demonstrate the genetic manipulation of anthocyanin glycosylation in cranberry using interspecific hybridization, resulting in dramatically increased glucose-conjugated anthocyanins. Flavonoids are considered to be secondary metabolites, which The cultivated american cranberry (V. macrocarpon) is recog- have been associated with roles in ultraviolet protection, plant nized for its brilliant red fruit due to an abundance of anthocyanins sexual reproduction, pollinator attraction, symbiotic plant—microbe in the fruit epidermal tissues.

The conventional extraction techniques are mostly based on the use of mild/high temperatures (50–90 ◦C) that can cause thermal degradation, are dependent on the mass transfer rate, being reflected on long extraction times, high costs, low extraction efficiency, with consequent low extraction yields. Due to these disadvantages, it is of interest to develop non-thermal extraction methods, such as microwave, ultrasounds, supercritical fluids (mostly using carbon dioxide, SC-CO2), and high hydrostatic pressure-assisted extractions which works on the phenomena of minimum heat exposure with reduced processing time, thereby minimizing the loss of bioactive compounds during extraction. Further, to improve the stability of these extracted compounds, nano-encapsulation is required.

(2020). Total phenolic content, free radical scavenging capacity, and anti-cancer activity of silymarin. J. Food Bioact. 10: 53–63. Abstract Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) seeds are a good source of dietary polyphenols. The bioactive component of milk thistle seeds, silymarin, contains flavonolignans including silybin A, silybin B, isosilybin A, isosilybin B, sily- christin, isosilychristin, and silydiain along with the flavonol taxifolin. Silymarin is used traditionally as a natural herbal medicine with minimal side effects. Structurally, each silymarin component possesses phenolic hydroxyl groups and thus works as an antioxidant. In addition to free radical scavenging capacities, silymarin’s anti-cancer activities were reported for many different types of cancers including bladder, breast, colon, gastric, kidney, lung, oral, ovarian, prostate, and skin. The current review will discuss silymarin’s chemical components, total phenolic content, free radical scavenging capacities, and anti-cancer activities.

  • 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.

Two main functions of these compounds are their ability to elicit different colors and to impart health benefits. Color is an essential part of the identity of foods and can affect the products’ success in the market. The food industry is searching for natural alternatives to the use of synthetic dyes. A particularly difficult challenge has been finding a natural blue that can replace synthetic FD&C Blue colorants. Some anthocyanins, under neutral to alkaline conditions can turn blue; however, the shades and stability of the blue color highly depends on the source. The aim of this study was to identify and increase our understanding of anthocyanin-based blue colorants from edible materials that can closely match the color characteristics of synthetic FD&C Blue colorants. To achieve this objective, anthocyanins from edible materials as well as commercial extracts were evaluated in regards to color and stability under a wide range of pH. Antocyanins from Baby Indian, Italian, and American eggplant, known to be delphinidin derivatives, were extracted. Delphinidin has three hydroxyl groups on its B-ring expected to cause a bathochromic shift and yield a blue hue.
