Abstract

15

Chemometric techniques have seen wide application in biological and medical sciences,

16

but are still developing in the food sciences. This study illustrated the use of untargeted

17

LC/MS chemometric methods to identify features (retention time_m/z) associated with

18

food quality changes as products age (freshness). Extracts of three citrus fruit varietals

19

aged over four time points that corresponded to noted changes in sensory attributes, were

20

chemical profiled and modeled by two discriminatory multivariate statistical techniques,

21

projection partial least squares data analysis (PLS-DA) and machine learning random

22

forest (RF). Age-associated compounds across the citrus platform were identified.

23

Varietal was treated as a nuisance variable to emphasize aging chemistry, and further

24

variable selection using age-related piecewise model generation and meta filtering to

25

emphasize features associated with general aging chemistry common to all the citrus

26

extracts. The identified features were further replicated in a validation study to illustrate

27

the validity and persistence of these markers for applications in citrus food platforms.

Introduction

33

A core aim of flavor chemistry research is to understand the molecular basis for the

34

sensory properties of foodstuffs. Traditionally methods of flavor identification have

35

relied on ‘targeted’ analytical approaches that screen individual compounds and select

36

those with flavor activity1–3. While these focused, reductionist analytical approaches have

37

advanced our understanding of the compounds that contribute to food flavor, they are

38

also inherently limited in scope as compounds are evaluated individually (in isolation)

39

and out of context. Flavor is a complex sensation derived from a multitude of stimuli

40

from different sensory systems such as aroma (olfactory), taste (gustatory), and

41

tactile/irrigation/temperature (chemestetic). Consequently, analytical methods based on

42

singular compound evaluation can overlook drivers of flavor perception by ignoring

43

potential interactions among stimuli. Untargeted chemical profiling methods would

44

therefore provide a further basis to characterize flavor compounds/interactions. These

45

approaches typically utilize orders of magnitude more data compared to targeted methods

46

and are much more likely to identify interacting data features4,5.

47 48

Recent advancements in many scientific fields have benefited from inclusive data driven

49

‘omic’ research methods6–9. Untargeted chemical profiling methods are positioned as a

50

complementary method to the more traditional targeted approaches utilized in the

51

biological sciences10. For example, the use of metabolomics in plant physiology has

52

progressed the understanding of phenotypes by increasing understanding of contextual

53

relationships4. Paralleling advances seen in other fields with complex interrelated

54

outcomes, Reineccius et al11 discussed the term “Flavoromics” as a new frontier in flavor

ACS Paragon Plus Environment

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

55

research, initially suggesting the use of proven workflows seen in metabolomics and

56

other “omics” fields. Although this term has been present for a number of years, the field

57

has yet to see substantial growth as well as applications still lack a sensory verification

58

aspect or have a limited scope12,13. Emphasis has been placed on differentiating samples

59

without establishing causative relationships for the identified statistical features14. Even

60

as computational resources and analytical technology have progressed, untargeted

61

approaches often conclude investigations using only principle component analysis to

62

make conclusions whereas traditional targeted methods provide significantly stronger

63

conclusions15.

64 65

Combining untargeted chemical fingerprinting methods with multivariate analysis allows

66

for the inclusion of as many data points as possible, providing a hypothesis seeking

67

approach which relates inputs (e.g. compounds) to an output (i.e. flavor). Within flavor

68

research, data driven approaches has been applied to instrumental data for sensory panel

69

prediction12,16,17. The ability to gain novel information from flavor analysis while also

70

generating models for future prediction of flavor relevant outcomes is a major motivator

71

to apply untargeted chemometric methodology to food systems. Other applications in

72

food aim to understand the geographical region or type of food being analyzed14,18–20.

73

While there has been an increase in the application of untargeted chemometric based

74

research, there is still limited validation of the identified statistical features and

75

translatability.

77

The current study is the first phase of a two-part investigation to apply

78

discriminatory untargeted chemical profiling methods to identify compounds

79

related to flavor quality changes as products age (freshness). The first phase

80

focuses on chemical characterization, statistical methods of analyses and modeling

81

techniques for compound selection, whereas the second phase focused on sensory

82

validation and compound identification 21. In this current paper, discriminatory

83

untargeted liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry-time of flight (LC-MS-tof)

84

chemical fingerprinting methods coupled with multivariate analysis (MVA) were utilized

85

to characterize chemical changes in citrus extracts during storage to identify compounds

86

associated with flavor quality changes as the products aged (freshness). LC/MS

87

techniques were selected to provide further characterization (novel insights) of the

88

chemical changes of oranges related to the flavor attributes of oranges. Prior research on

89

identification of orange citrus flavor has primarily emphasized volatile aroma

90

characterization22,23. Two modeling methods, projection partial least squares (PLS) and

91

machine learning random forest (RF) were utilized, with further variable selection using

92

age-related piecewise model generation and meta filtering techniques. Finally, the

93

statistically significant chemical data was validated in a repeated experiment.

94 95

Materials and methods

96

Sample Preparation. Three common citrus hybrid fruit products were sourced form the

97

domestic market. Navel Oranges, Mineola Tangerines, and Valencia Oranges were

98

washed, rinsed, and then cut to be 97%) by multi-dimensional

365

LC fractionation and subsequently identified by TOF MS/MS and NMR, as ionone

366

glycoside and nomilin glucoside, respectively. Furthermore, when each compound was

367

added to fresh orange samples at quantities identified in aged sample, a trained sensory

368

panel reported the flavor attributes changed and mimicked that of the aged product.

369

Interestingly both compounds themselves in water did not report any sensory activity and

370

would not be expected to be identified by traditional targeted methods1–3. To the best of

371

the authors knowledge, this is a first report to identify and validate persistent LC/MS

372

chemical features (unknowns) using statistical directed methods linked to sensory

373

significance.

375

In summary, this work illustrates the utility of flavoromics (untargeted analysis) for

376

identifying data trends related to a biological (flavor) outcome and an approach to

377

establish those relationships as persistent through repeated modeling. Additionally, this

378

work illustrates how modeling can emphasize aging through treating varietal differences

379

a nuisance variable to identify chemistry related to a ‘global’ citrus platform and to

380

identify flavor-active compounds.
