Metabolic Profiling of White and Green Radish Cultivars (Raphanus sativus)

Radish (Raphanus sativus) is a Brassica vegetable important for human nutrition and health because it rich in diverse metabolites. Although previous studies have evaluated various metabolites, few comprehensively profiled the primary secondary metabolites roots of white- green-colored radishes. Thus, this study aimed to provide information about contents beneficial both cultivars investigate relationships between detected. In particular, among 55 detected radish roots, levels most amino acids phenolic acids, vital health, were higher green while slightly glucosinolates observed white roots—information which can be used develop an effective strategy promote consumption. Furthermore, glutamic acid, as metabolic precursor chlorophylls, was positively correlated with other (cysteine, tryptophan, asparagine, alanine, serine, phenylalanine, valine, isoleucine, proline, leucine, beta-alanine, lysine, GABA), chlorophylls (chlorophyll chlorophyll b) compounds, kaempferol, 4-hydroxybenzoate, catechin. addition, strong positive correlations carbohydrates (sucrose glucose) phenolics study, indicating that sucrose glucose function energy sources compounds.
