基于UPLC-QE-Orbitrap-MS分析3种贵州绿茶的化学成分

Chemical Composition Analysis of Three Green Teas from Guizhou Province by UPLC-QE-Orbitrap-MS

  • 摘要: 本研究采用超高效液相色谱-四极杆-静电场轨道阱高分辨质谱(UPLC-QE-Orbitrap-MS)法对贵州3种代表性绿茶(湄潭翠芽、都匀毛尖和凤岗锌硒茶)的主要化学成分进行非靶向分析,并比较水提与70%甲醇提取2种方式对化合物检出的影响。通过精确质量数、二级碎片离子信息结合数据库匹配进行定性分析,共识别出涵盖酚酸类、黄酮类、氨基酸类及糖类等多种生物活性成分。结果表明,3种茶叶共有的核心化合物达40种,主要包括绿原酸、没食子酸、三叶草素、儿茶素及表没食子儿茶素没食子酸酯等,其中儿茶素类化合物在2种提取条件下均表现出较高的响应强度,是构成3种茶叶物质基础的核心组分;同时,每种茶叶均含有各自的特征性成分,如水提物中湄潭翠芽独有的七叶苷,都匀毛尖独有的山柰酚-3-O-鼠李糖苷等5种化合物,以及凤岗锌硒茶独有的(S)-10-羟基喜树碱等4种化合物。在提取方式对比方面,水提物中鉴定的化合物数量普遍多于醇提物,其中,湄潭翠芽与都匀毛尖的共有化合物数量较多,化学组成更接近;而凤岗锌硒茶与其他2种茶叶的共有化合物相对较少,表现出更独特的化学特征。该方法具有高通量、高分辨率、高覆盖度等优势,能够系统揭示不同品种茶叶间化学成分的相似性与差异性,为贵州绿茶的品质评价与鉴别以及产地溯源提供了科学依据。

     

    Abstract: In this study, ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole-Orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC-QE-Orbitrap-MS) was employed for non-targeted chemical profiling of three representative green teas from Guizhou Province, namely Meitan Cuiya, Duyun Maojian, and Fenggang Zinc-Selenium tea. The effects of two pretreatment methods, hot water extraction and 70% methanol extraction, on compound detection were systematically compared. Qualitative identification was achieved based on accurate mass measurements, MS/MS fragmentation patterns, and database matching, leading to the identification of a broad spectrum of bioactive constituents classified as phenolic acids, flavonoids, amino acids, and carbohydrates. The results showed that the three tea varieties share both commonalities and distinct differences in their chemical compositions. A total of 40 compounds were found to be common to all three types of tea, with chlorogenic acid, gallic acid, trifolin, catechin, and epigallocatechin gallate being the predominant compounds. Notably, catechins exhibit consistently high MS response intensities under various extraction conditions, underscoring their role as core components constituting the material basis of these teas. Meanwhile, each tea variety possesses its own characteristic compounds. For instance, in aqueous extracts, fraxin was uniquely identified in Meitan Cuiya, five compounds including kaempferol-3-O-rhamninoside were exclusively found in Duyun Maojian, and four compounds including (S)-10-hydroxycamptothecin were uniquely detected in Fenggang Zinc-Selenium tea. Regarding extraction efficiency, aqueous extracts yielded a higher number of identified compounds compared with methanolic extracts. Venn diagram analysis further revealed that Meitan Cuiya and Duyun Maojian shared a greater number of compounds, indicating closer chemical resemblance, whereas Fenggang Zinc-Selenium tea exhibits relatively fewer shared compounds with the other two varieties, suggesting a more distinctive chemical profile. The established method offers the advantages of high throughput, high resolution, and broad polarity coverage, enabling systematic elucidation of both similarities and differences in chemical compositions among tea varieties. This study provides a scientific basis for the quality evaluation, variety discrimination, and geographical origin traceability of Guizhou green teas.
