Abstract:

The‘Qiuxiang’walnuts were set up three treatments:climate storage for one year(CS),4 ℃ low-temperature storage for one year(LS)and without storage(WS). Then the fatty acids of walnut kernels were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively using LC/MS. The results show that a total of 969 differential metabolites were obtained in the CS_WS comparison group,and a total of 975 differential metabolites were obtained in the LS_WS comparison group. Through further screening according to variable weight value(VIP > 1),the CS_WS and LS_WS have 35 and 31 different metabolites,respectively. Comparing with WS,the stearidonic acid is reduced in CS and LS,linoleic acid and α-linolenic acid are significantly reduced in CS,the oleic acid is slightly increased in CS,however,in LS,oleic acid,linoleic acid and α-linolenic acid have no significant difference. In addition,ubiquinone is down-regulated in CS,while keratinous substances are increased in LS. The analysis of KEGG pathway shows that differential metabolites are mainly involved in the synthesis of unsaturated fatty acids and the metabolism of α-linolenic acid and linoleic acid. In addition,some differential metabolites are involved in the synthesis of keratin and ubiquinone. The correlation analysis among differential metabolites shows that there is a positive correlation between unsaturated fatty acids and ubiquinone,and a negative correlation between stearidonic acid and keratin. In summary,the ubiquinone is decreased and the antioxidant capacity is reduced of walnut in natural storage,thereby leading to reduced α-linolenic acid and linoleic acid,but the walnut in cold storage at 4 ℃ can inhibit the reduction of α-linolenic acid and linoleic acid,in addition,it also increase the keratin content to adapt to low-temperature environment.

Key words: walnut, metabolomics, storage temperature, fatty acid, unsaturated fatty acid
