Agaricus bisporus can enhance the umami and salty taste in chicken soup, and also has a high protein content, which indicates that there might be some kokumi taste compounds in this mushroom. Therefore, through ultrafiltration, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and reverse phase-high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC), some peptides in fresh Agaricus bisporus mushroom were isolated. Then, these peptides were identified by sensory evaluation and ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) coupled quadruple time of flight mass spectrometry (Q-TOF-MS). The sensory evaluation results showed that the addition of aqueous extract isolated from Agaricus bisporus to model chicken broth did enhance chicken broth’s complexity, mouthfulness, and palatability. UPLC-Q-TOF-MS analysis found that Gly-Leu-Pro-Asp (Mw = 399.99) and Gly-His-Gly-Asp (Mw = 383.99) might act as key molecules to cause kokumi taste. In order to verify the kokumi taste of the above two peptides, they were synthesized by solid-phase synthesis and the taste properties of these two peptides were further characterized by descriptive sensory evaluation and taste intensity tests. This work indicated that it was feasible to produce kokumi peptides from Agaricus bisporus.

Aurantii fructus (AF) is a traditional Chinese medicine that has been used to improve gastrointestinal motility disorders for over a thousand years, but there is no exhaustive identification of the basic chemical components and comprehensive quality control of this herb. In this study, high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry (HPLC-Q-TOF-MS) and gas chromatography coupled mass spectrometry (GC-MS) were employed to identify the basic chemical compounds, and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was developed to determine the major biochemical markers from AF extract. There were 104 compounds belonging to eight structure types, including 13 amino acids or peptides, seven alkaloids, 18 flavanones, 14 flavones, 15 polymethoxyflavonoids, six triterpenoids, nine coumarins, and 18 volatile oils, as well as four other compounds that were systematically identified as the basic components from AF, and among them, 41 compounds were reported for the first time. Twelve bioactive ingredients were chosen as the benchmark markers to evaluate the quality of AF. The analysis was completed with a gradient elution at a flow rate of 0.7 mL/min within 55 min. This efficient method was validated showing good linearity, precision, stability, repeatability and recovery. Furthermore, the method was successfully applied to the simultaneous determination of 12 chemical markers in different samples of AF. This study could be applied to the identification of multiple bioactive substances and improve the quality control of AF.

Tibouchina pulchra (Cham.) Cogn. is a plant native to Brazil whose genus and family (Melastomataceae) are poorly studied with regards to its metabolite profile. Phenolic pigments of pink flowers were studied by ultra-performance liquid chromatography with a photodiode array detector and electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Therein, twenty-three flavonoids were identified with eight flavonols isolated by preparative high-performance liquid chromatography and analysed by one- and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance. Kaempferol derivatives were the main flavonols, encompassing almost half of the detected compounds with different substitution patterns, such as glucoside, pentosides, galloyl-glucoside, p-coumaroyl-glucoside, and glucuronide. Concerning the anthocyanins, petunidin p-coumaroyl-hexoside acetylpentoside and malvidin p-coumaroyl-hexoside acetylpentoside were identified and agreed with previous reports on acylated anthocyanins from Melastomataceae. A new kaempferol glucoside was identified as kaempferol-(2′′-O-methyl)-4′-O-α-d-glucopyranoside. Moreover, twelve compounds were described for the first time in the genus with five being new to the family, contributing to the chemical characterisation of these taxa.
