Abstract
Purple teas are gaining popularity due to their significant health benefits. This study analyzed flavonoid metabolites in the second leaves of three purple tea varieties with stable purple shoots-’Hongfei’ (HF), ‘Danfei’ (DF), and ‘Ziya 24′ (ZY24)-using UPLC-MS/MS, with ‘Yinghong 9′ (YH9), a green tea, as the control. The most abundant anthocyanins were cyanidin-3-O-glucoside, cyanidin-O-syringic acid, and pelargonidin-3-O-glucoside in HF, while ZY24 and DF accumulated additional delphinidin and petunidin derivatives. DF also contained malvidin-3-O-galactoside. Furthermore, 22 significantly enriched non-anthocyanin flavonoids were identified as potential co-pigments contributing to the vibrant leaf coloration. These findings reveal key anthocyanin and flavonoid profiles responsible for the distinct purple hues in the tender shoots of different purple tea varieties.
紫茶因其显著的健康益处而越来越受欢迎。以绿茶‘英红9号’(YH9)为对照,采用超高效液相色谱-质谱联用技术,对紫芽稳定的3个紫茶品种‘红飞’(HF)、‘丹飞’(DF)和‘紫雅24号’(ZY24)第二叶黄酮代谢产物进行了分析。HF中花青素含量最高的是花青素-3- o -葡萄糖苷、花青素- o -丁香酸和天竺葵苷-3- o -葡萄糖苷,而ZY24和DF中积累了额外的飞鸽苷和矮牛苷衍生物。DF还含有malvidin-3- o -半乳糖苷。此外,22种显著富集的非花青素类黄酮被鉴定为促进叶片鲜艳颜色的潜在共色素。这些发现揭示了不同紫茶品种嫩芽中不同紫色色调的关键花青素和类黄酮谱。
