Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Chromatographic Analysis for Targeted Metabolomics of Antioxidant and Flavor-Related Metabolites in Tomato(Bio-Protocol, 2021) Gürbüz Çolak, Nergiz; Tek, Neslihan; Frary, Anne; Doğanlar, SamiTargeted metabolomics is a useful approach to evaluate crop breeding studies. Antioxidant and flavor-related traits are of increasing interest and are considered quality traits in tomato breeding. The present study presents chromatographic methods to study antioxidants (carotenoids, vitamin C, vitamin E, phenolic compounds, and glutathione) and flavor -related characters (sugars and organic acids) in tomato. Two different extraction methods (for polar and apolar entities) were applied to isolate the targeted compounds. The extraction methods developed in this work were time and cost-effective since no further purification was needed. Carotenoids, vitamin C, glutathione, and phenolic acids were analyzed by HPLC-PDA using a RP C18 column at an appropriate wavelength for each compound. Vitamin E and sugars were analyzed by HPLC with RP C18 and NH2 columns and detected by FLD and RI detectors, respectively. In addition, organic acids were analyzed with GC-FID using a Rtx 5DA column after derivatization with MSTFA. As a result, sensitive analytical methods to quantify important plant metabolites were developed and are described herein. These methods are not only applicable in tomato but are also useful to characterize other species for flavor-related and antioxidant compounds. Thus, these protocols can be used to guide selection in crop breeding.Article Citation - WoS: 36Citation - Scopus: 47Mapping of Quantitative Trait Loci for Antioxidant Molecules in Tomato Fruit: Carotenoids, Vitamins C and E, Glutathione and Phenolic Acids(Elsevier, 2020) Gürbüz Çolak, Nergiz; Tek, Neslihan; Ülger, Mehmet; Frary, Anne; Doğanlar, SamiThe nutritional value of a crop lies not only in its protein, lipid, and sugar content but also involves compounds such as the antioxidants lycopene, beta-carotene and vitamin C. In the present study, wild tomato Solanum pimpinellifolium LA 1589 was assessed for its potential to improve antioxidant content. This wild species was found to be a good source of alleles for increasing beta-carotene, lycopene, vitamin C and vitamin E contents in cultivated tomato. Characterization of an LA 1589 interspecific inbred backcross line (IBL) mapping population revealed many individuals with transgressive segregation for the antioxidants confirming the usefulness of this wild species for breeding of these traits. Molecular markers were used to identify QTLs for the metabolites in the IBL population. In total, 64 QTLs were identified for the antioxidants and their locations were compared to the map positions of previously identified QTLs for confirmation. Four (57 %) of the carotenoid QTLs, four (36 %) of the vitamin QTLs, and 11 (25 %) of the phenolic acid QTLs were supported by previous studies. Furthermore, several potential candidate genes were identified for vitamins C and E and phenolic acids loci. These candidate genes might be used as markers in breeding programs to increase tomato's antioxidant content.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 16Carotenoid Profile in Prochlorococcus Sp. and Enrichment of Lutein Using Different Nitrogen Sources(Springer Verlag, 2016) Erdoğan, Ayşegül; Demirel, Zeliha; Eroğlu, Ahmet Emin; Conk Dalay, MeltemVarious carotenoids of the cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus sp. are identified using chromatographic/spectroscopic techniques and quantified using HPLC-DAD. In the present study, β-apo-8′-carotenal was used as internal standard. Identification of carotenoids was carried out by comparing the retention time, absorption spectra, and mass spectra of unknown peaks with reference standards. All-trans-lutein was found to be the major carotenoid in this cyanobacterium, and, therefore, algal productivity and the potential for lutein accumulation were analyzed as a function of different nitrogen sources such as nitrate, nitrite, ammonia, and urea for cultivation. Among them, urea clearly led to the best lutein accumulation. According to the experimental evidence, lutein increased from 2.54 to 3.34 mg g−1 in the cyanobacteria when urea was used as the nitrogen source. © 2016, Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.Article Citation - WoS: 24Citation - Scopus: 26Composition of Carotenoids in Scenedesmus Protuberans: Application of Chromatographic and Spectroscopic Methods(Springer Verlag, 2015) Erdoğan, Ayşegül; Çağır, Ali; Conk Dalay, Meltem; Eroğlu, Ahmet EminThis study aimed to identify and determine the carotenoids from green microalga, Scenedesmus protuberans using analytical techniques. Identification of carotenoids was realized by comparing their absorption and mass spectral data with those of reference standards available and reported values. Chromatographic data were then combined with the spectroscopic information. The separation of carotenoids was achieved by C30 column and high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detection was used for their determination. In the present work, the carotenoid content of S. protuberans was found to be 1.45 mg/g of violaxanthin, 2.47 mg/g of all-trans-lutein, 0.15 mg/g of all-trans-α-carotene, 0.55 mg/g of all-trans-β-carotene, and 0.20 mg/g of 9 or 9′-cis-β-carotene. Due to lack of their standards, the amount of all-trans-loroxanthin and cis-isomers of other carotenoids could not be quantified. In order to validate the method, Certified Reference Material (BCR 485-Mixed vegetables) was used. In conclusion, this study can serve as a reference for the analysis of carotenoids in other microalgae.
