The metabolic profile of lemon juice by proton HR-MAS NMR: the case of the PGI Interdonato Lemon of Messina
2015
We have studied by means of High Resolution Magic Angle Spinning Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (HR-MAS NMR) the metabolic profile of the famous Sicilian lemon known as 'Interdonato Lemon of Messina PGI'. The PGI Interdonato Lemon of Messina possesses high organoleptic and healthy properties and is recognised as one of the most nutrient fruits. In particular, some of its constituents are actively studied for their chemo-preventive and therapeutic properties. In this paper, we have determined by means of HR-MAS NMR spectroscopy the molar concentration of the main metabolites constituent the juice of PGI Interdonato Lemon of Messina in comparison with that of the not-PGI Interdonato Lemon of Turk…
High Resolution-magic Angle Spinning NMR Study of Olive Leaves
2013
In recent years HR-MAS 1H NMR spectroscopy has proven to be a useful tool for the rapid determination of the metabolic profile of several solid and semisolid foods, such as fruits and vegetables, cheese and meat. Olive leaves are today recognized as direct sources of bioactive compounds and natural antioxidants (flavonoids, secoiridoids) suitable as food additives, and their extracts form the basis of beauty care products and pharmaceutical supplements. Thus, olive leaves are emerging as a new and potentially important product for olive tree growing regions. In this report we present the application of 1H and 13C HR-MAS 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy for the characterization and analysis of tri…
Pitfalls to be considered on the metabolomic analysis of biological samples by HR-MAS
2014
HR-MAS (High-Resolution Magic AngleSpinning) is considered a powerfultechnique for metabolomic studies ofbiological samples that provides “intact”tissue spectra (Cheng et al., 1998; Waterset al., 2000; Sitter et al., 2002; Martinez-Bisbal et al., 2004; Payne et al., 2006;Coen et al., 2007; Bathen et al., 2010).The performance of HR-MAS, fol-lowed by quantitative histopathology hasdemonstrated that, despite some changes,HR-MAS can preserve approximately thetissue histopathologic features producingwell-resolved spectra of cellular metabo-lites (Cheng et al., 2000). Nevertheless,therearesomeaspectsarousedintheliter-ature about the possible biochemical andstructural changes that can occur durin…
