Fruit Metabolites: Variation of LC-MS Profile and Antioxidant Potential during Ripening and Storage.

Weston or creamy strawberry is one of the less-known species of the genus (Rosaceae family) with a wide distribution in Eurasia and is still in the shadow of more popular relatives (garden strawberry) or (wild strawberry). Importantly, there is a lack of scientific knowledge on compounds, their stability in the postharvest period, and bioactivity. In this study, metabolites of fruits in three ripening stages were characterized with high-performance liquid chromatography with photodiode array and electrospray ionization triple quadrupole mass spectrometric detection (HPLC-PAD-ESI-tQ-MS).

LC-MS Profile, Gastrointestinal and Gut Microbiota Stability and Antioxidant Activity of Herb Metabolites: A Comparative Study with Subterranean Organs.

Golden root ( L., Crassulaceae) is a famous medical plant with a one-sided history of scientific interest in the roots and rhizomes as sources of bioactive compounds, unlike the herb, which has not been studied extensively. To address this deficiency, we used high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array and electrospray triple quadrupole mass detection for comparative qualitative and quantitative analysis of the metabolic profiles of organs before and after gastrointestinal digestion in simulated conditions together with various biochemical assays to determine antioxidant properties of the extracts and selected compounds.
