Analysis of Primary Metabolites in Cabbage ( var. ) Varieties Correlated with Antioxidant Activity and Taste Attributes by Metabolic Profiling.

vegetables, such as cabbage, have many health benefits arising from their antioxidant and anticancer properties. These properties are endowed by the metabolite composition of the plant, and it is therefore important to elucidate the metabolic profile and associated activities in this genus. This study objectively evaluated the characteristics of cabbage varieties using metabolic profiling to identify the primary metabolic components that correlate with antioxidant activity and taste attributes.
