Metabolomics Analysis

To investigate the effect of pollination on the fruit quality of ‘Dangshan Su’ pear, ‘Dangshan Su’ was fertilized by the pollen of ‘Wonhwang’ (Pyrus pyrifolia Nakai.) (DW) and ‘Jingbaili’ (Pyrus ussuriensis Maxim.) (DJ). The analysis of primary metabolites was achieved through untargeted metabolomics, and the quantitative analysis of intermediate metabolites of lignin synthesis was undertaken using targeted metabolomics. The untargeted metabolomics analysis was performed via gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The targeted metabolomics analysis was performed using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) under the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The results showed that the metabolite content was significantly different between DW and DJ. Compared with that in DJ, the sugar and amino acid content in DW was higher and the fatty acid content was lower at 47 days after pollination (DAPs), and the sugar, amino acid, and fatty acid content in DW was lower at 63 DAPs. The intermediate metabolites of lignin synthesis were analyzed using the orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) model, and the differential metabolites at 47 DAPs were p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, sinapaldehyde, coniferyl alcohol, and sinapyl alcohol. The differential significant metabolite at 63 DAPs was p-coumaric acid. At 47 DAPs and 63 DAPs, the p-coumaric acid level was significantly different, and the p-coumaric acid content was positively correlated with lignin synthesis. The pollination pollen affects the quality of ‘Dangshan Su’ pear fruit through regulation of the sugar, amino acid, and fatty acid content; at the same time, regulating the levels of intermediate metabolites of lignin synthesis, especially the p-coumaric acid content, to affect lignin synthesis ultimately affects the stone cell content and improves the quality of the pears.

Ocimum tenuiflorum L., commonly known as ruku in Malaysia, is usually cultivated as a garden ornamental plant because of its small purplish and some yellowish flower. Additionally, the young leaves of O. tenuiflorum L. are used to make Nasi Ulam. In this study, we investigated the nutritional values of O. tenuiflorum leaves and stems to find a rich source of essential nutrients needed in daily diet. High pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography/mass spectrophotometer (GC/MS) methods were used to measure the amino acid and fatty acid content of leaves and stems of O. tenuiflorum L. The result of antinutritional compositions of the leaves and stems displayed as a safe range of compounds that were effective to increase absorption of nutritional compound by body cells. The result of fatty acid profile showed that the butanoic acid as the highest amount of fatty acid content in stems and leave compared to other fatty acid compositions. The result of amino acids profile indicated that αaminobutyric acid and cysteine (non-essential amino acid) showed the highest and the lowest amount of amino acid content in stem and leaves consequently. Vitamin E and C showed the high and lowest amount of vitamins content in the leave and stem, respectively. In conclusion, the result of antinutritional and nutritional contents of O. tenuiflorum L. leaves and stems clearly indicated that the antinutritional compounds were in the safe range. The amount and nutritional content of the leaves and stem proved that this plant a good source to improve our body health system.

Abstract Soybean meal is one of the fodder components. It is a by-product of the production of soybean oil. Soybean meal is a specific cargo due to changes that may occur in it during transport processes. These changes are subject to many distinguishing features of usable quality inter alia fat and fatty acid content. The temperature and size of the soybean meal particles are among the factors influencing the transformations. The article presents the results of research on soybean meal and its individual fractions and the impact of selected indicators on the quality changes of this cargo. The results depend on the conditions corresponding to those that occur during the storage, handling and transport processes. The dependencies between them have been determined. The performed research allowed to determine the type and scope of changes taking place in this cargo under the influence of temperature. The results of the study showed that as the temperature rises, the fatty acid content in the soybean meal decreased during storage for a given period of 30 days.

This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of replacing maize with low tannin sorghum (LTS) in layer feed on the physical and nutritional quality of eggs of layers at peak egg production stage. One hundred and twenty, 30-weeks old hens were grouped into three blocks of forty birds per block and were subjected to three different diets: 100%Maize, 50%Maize50%LTS and 100%LTS for 8 weeks. Eggs were collected on the 4th and 8th week of feeding trial. The results showed that eggs had statistically similar weights, amounts of protein, fat, Vitamin E and Vitamin A. The colour of egg yolks increased in lightness and reduced in hue and Chroma significantly across all the dietary blocks with increase in LTS while cholesterol content decreased. The saturated fatty acid content in the albumin and yolk oil extract remained constant irrespective of the period of feeding or variation of Maize and LTS content. The Monounsaturated fatty acid content decreased significantly (P=0.0003) during the whole trial diet period. The Polyunsaturated fatty acid content remained constant for the albumin (P=0.4095) while the yolk showed an increase (P=0.1162) from the initial 15.82±0.57 g/100g on the 4th week to 24.05±7.25 g/100g on the 8th week for diets with 100%Maize. 50%M50%LTS increased from 14.59±0.16 to 21.48±4.19 g/100g and 100%LTS had its Polyunsaturated fatty acid content decline from 13.36±0.31 to 10.71±0.32g/100g. This study indicates that LTS can replace Maize as a source of energy in chicken feeds with no adverse effects on the quality of the eggs.
