Di erences in potential nutrients among varieties can be explained by variations in the composition and abundance of fatty acids, polyphenols, carbohydrates, amino acids, and organic acids. Therefore, the analysis of metabolite species and relationships in cottonseed is meaningful for the development of cotton byproducts.Results: In this study, the metabolomes of three representative cotton cultivars of di erent species were compared using untargeted GC-TOF/MS analysis. A total of 263 metabolites were identified from 705 peaks, and their levels were compared across cultivars. Principal component analysis and OPLS-DA clearly distinguish these samples based on metabolites. There were significant di erences in the contents of amino acids, carbohydrates, organic acids, flavonoids, and lipids in G. hirsutum TM-1 compared with G. arboreum Shixiya1 and G. barbadense Hai7124. Notably, the bioactive nutrient compound catechin obtained from the di erential metabolites significantly accumulated in TM-1. Furthermore, a comprehensive analysis using catechin and oil-related traits was conducted in core collections of Gossypium hirsutum. The results revealed the reliability of the GC-TOF/MS analysis, as well as that catechin content has a negative association with myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, arachidic acid, and total fatty acids.Conclusion: These findings suggest that untargeted GC-TOF/MS analysis could provide a new method for investigating the underlying plant biochemistry of nutrient variation in cottonseed, and that catechin content has a negative association with oil-related traits in cottonseed. This study may pave the way to exploit the value of cotton byproducts.展开更多

The distribution behavior of ester catechins monomer in the aqueous and chloroform two-phase system containing one of calixarene was studied. The influences of different extractants, concentration of tert-butylcalix[8]arene and extraction temperature on the partition coefficients and the separation factors were investigated. The experiment results show that tert-butylcalix[8]arene is the best extractant that forms a more stable supramolecular compound with gallocatechin gallate （GCG） than with epigallocathechin gallate （EGCG） or epicatechin gallate （ECG）. When the concentration ofp-tert-butylcalix[8]arene is 3.79 mmol/L, the extraction temperature is 4 ℃, the partition coefficients ofKGCG, KECG, KEGCG are 0.987, 0.629, 0.449, the separation factors of al and a2 are 1.450 and 1.596, respectively. The important factors influencing the extraction properties of calixarene are discovered to be its cavity size and hydrogen bonding.展开更多
