    Changes on nutrients and functional components of seedless wampee fruits at different harvest periods and after frozen storage

    • 摘要: 为全面了解无核黄皮果实的食用价值,该研究采用高效液相色谱、电感耦合等离子体质谱、顶空气相-离子迁移谱等多种分析技术,测定分析并比较6月7~8成熟早采果实(WP6)、7月9~10成熟果实(WP7)和-18 ℃冻藏6个月的冷冻果实(WPS)的理化性状、主要营养、风味和功能成分的差异。结果表明,相比WP6,WP7的总糖含量升高了37.92%,总酸含量下降了18.32%;相比WP7,WPS的总糖含量降低了5.78%,总酸含量降低了42.31%。无核黄皮果实中有机酸以柠檬酸为主,还含有草酸、酒石酸、苹果酸、乳酸和抗坏血酸。相比WP6,WP7的柠檬酸含量显著下降(P<0.05),但抗坏血酸含量升高至0.581 mg/g;相比WP7,WPS的柠檬酸和抗坏血酸含量均显著下降(P<0.05)。WP7的游离氨基酸和总氨基酸含量均显著高于WP6(P<0.05),其中呈味氨基酸含量增加了24.09%;然而相比WP7,WPS的游离氨基酸和总氨基酸含量均显著下降(P<0.05)。无核黄皮果实富含钾、磷和钙元素;相比WP6,WP7中钙元素含量降低了41.08%,但钾元素含量增加了70.12%,达到2 608.47 mg/kg;相比WP7,WPS的主要微量元素含量下降幅度均不超过10%,没有因低温环境发生明显流失。相比WP6,WP7中挥发性酸类化合物相对含量下降了42.718%,而酯类化合物相对含量增加了60.191%;相比WP7,WPS的酯类化合物相对含量下降了50.036%。值得注意的是,无核黄皮中多酚和黄酮类物质主要分布在果皮,且总黄酮含量在早采果实WP6中含量较高(229.43 mg/kg)。综上,无核黄皮果实是一种营养丰富且具有保健功能的热带水果,可带皮食用及全果用于深加工,本研究可为无核黄皮品质评价和加工利用提供理论依据。

       

      Abstract: Seedless wampee is a characteristic fruit of southern China, which is native to Yunan county in Guangdong province. This particular variety of wampee has characteristics of large fruit, seedless, juicy, tasted, and flavourful, and is recognized as the gem of wampee. To know comprehensively about the dietary and pharmaceutical values of seedless wampee fruits, detection and analysis techniques including high performance liquid chromatography, inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry, and headspace-gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry were used to analyse the differences and changes on physicochemical characteristics, main nutrients, flavours, and functional components between the fruits picked on June 25th (WP6), the fruits picked on July 25th (WP7), and frozen WP7 stored at -18 ºC for 6 months (WPS). Results showed that WP6 had a ripeness of 7–8-degree, and WP7 had a ripeness of 9-10 degree, and the two samples harvest at two key periods showed the following differences and changes: (1) the fruit weight and pulp ratio of WP7 were significantly (P<0.05) higher than those of WP6; (2) the total sugar content of WP7 increased by 37.92% compared to that of WP6; (3) the total acid content of WP7 decreased by 18.32% compared to that of WP6; the citric acid and oxalic acid, which were the main organic acids of wampee fruit, decreased from 13.308 mg/g and 6.851 mg/g in WP6 to 9.132 mg/g and 4.570 mg/g in WP7, respectively. However, the content of ascorbic acid increased significantly and reach a level (0.581 mg/g) in WP7 that was comparable to that of citrus; (3) the content of both free amino acid (FAA) and total amino acid (TAA) increased from 301.5 mg/g and 801.6 mg/g in WP6 to 380.7 mg/g and 1203.8 mg/g in WP7, respectively. In addition, compared to WP6, WP7 showed an increase in the content of flavour amino acid, such as alanine, serine and aspartate, which posed a significant effect on the taste and flavour of seedless wampee fruit; 4) the content of potassium element increased from 1533.35 mg/kg in WP6 to 2608.47 mg/kg in WP7, however, the content of calcium decreased from 184.63 mg/kg in WP6 to 108.79 mg/kg in WP7; 5) the phenolic compounds and flavonoid compounds were mainly distributed in the peels of wampee fruits, and flavonoid compounds showed a significantly (P<0.05) higher content of 229.43 mg/kg in WP6 than that in WP7; 6) the relative content of volatile acid compounds (e.g., propanoic acid and acetic acid) decreased from 48.127% in WP6 to 5.409% in WP7, however, the relative content of volatile ester compounds (e.g., butyl acetate, ethyl acetate, and methyl acetate) increased from 25.165% in WP6 to 85.356% in WP7, which made the ripe seedless wampee fruit had a strong fruity aroma but a weak pungent aroma. WP7 had a fruit weight and a pulp ratio of 11.74 g and 78.47%, respectively, and showed a high degree of both sugar content and acid content, which made this tropical fruit tasted and fruity. However, after being stored at -18℃ for 6 months, although the fruit weight and fruit shape index of WPS showed insignificantly (P>0.05) changes compared to those of WP7, microstructure observations showed that the cellular structures of pulp in WPS were broken. The total sugar content, total acid content, and volatile ester compounds of WPS decreased by 5.78%, 42.31%, and 50.036% respectively, leading to a deterioration on the taste, nutrition and flavour for WPS. This study indicated that seedless wampee is a nutritious fruit with health care function, and the whole fruit is edible and can be used for deep processing. The results of this study provided basis for quality evaluation and functional component research of seedless wampee fruits.
