Abstract:

Avocado plays significant roles in food and medicine industries, due to its advantages of high nutrition profile, low sugar and high energy. In this work, the chemical compositions of pulp and peel of avocado were fast analyzed by internal extraction electrospray ionization mass spectrometry technology(iEESI-MS) without any pretreatment. Furthermore, Orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA) model was established to distinguish avocado’s maturity degree between unripening and ripening. The experimental results indicated that in negative ion mode, a total of 12 compounds such as palmitic acid, linolenic acid, palmitic acid, linolenic acid, oleic acid, stearic acid in pulp of avocado were indentified; while 11 compounds in peel of avocado were indentified including cianidanol, chlorogenic acid, pantothenic acid and so on. The differences of chemical compounds between unripening and ripening could be obviously observed through the model of OPLS-DA. The merits of this method to analyze compounds of avocado by iEESI-MS include simplicity, excellent specificity, high throughput and minimum sample pretreatment.
