OutlineI. Metabonomics in postgenomic era: fingerprint of phytochemicals vs quantitation of metabolites - NETWORK

II. Phytochemicals as indicators of seabuckthorn (SB) composition ( leaves vs. fruits)III. Analytical steps and advanced techniques -BIOMARKERS

IV. Case studies: determination of biological and geographical origin by metabolomic analysis + chemometrics

V. Impact of metabolomics studies

Metabolomics = systematic study of chemical fingerprint to realize a metabolite profiling ( small molecules) in a specific matrix ( plant, food)

Metabonomics = quantitative measurements to identify a specific metabolic response ( by key-molecules, e.g. phytochemicals)

METABOLOME = complement of all metabolites expressed in a cell, tissue or organism

Metabolomics: An INTEGRATED Tool for Studying SYSTEMS BIOLOGY

Metabolites = end products of gene expression and enzymatic activities Metabolomics – reflect the activity of a certain NETWORKcomplementary method to the large-scale gene transcript analysis (transcriptomics) and proteins fingerprint (proteomics) explain and identify the differences between sets of organisms (e.g. differences in genotypes) CHEMOTAXONOMYelucidate environmental factors that influence biomolecules fingeprint

Fingerprint

Widely used methods for plant metabolite analysis:

GC /MS and LC/MS (Sumner, Mendes & Dixon (2003) and Dunn & Ellis (2005).

LC/PDA/MS (Huhman & Sumner, 2002),

Capillary electrophoresis/mass spectrometry (CE/MS (Soga et al., 2003; Sato et al., 2004)

Fourier Transformed IR Spectroscopy (Socaciu, 2009)Fourier-transform ion-cyclotron mass spectrometry (FT/MS) (Tohge et

al., 2005)

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) (Ward et al., 2003; Wiklund et al., 2005)

1. Carotenoids & chlorophylls2. Vitamins C and E3. Unsaturated -fatty acids4. Phytosterols5. Polyphenols- flavonoids,

antocyanins, phenolic acids,tannins

Plant secondary metabolites (more than 10000 molecules known yet…)

Attraction/defence moleculesAntioxidant/antibiotic actionBeneficial for plant, animal & human health.

Functionality-dependent on solubility, stability, bioavailability &redox potential

Conf.SB Potsdam 3 Dec.2010

II. Phytochemicals as indicators of seabuckthorn (SB) composition ( leaves vs. fruits)-BIOMARKERS

AIMS – specific localization and stability of biomolecules related to their solubility

We are able to identify different, specific biomarkers realizing the berry vs leave fingerprint, discrimination of biological and geographical origin

The technological progress in development of new instruments (LC-MS, GC-MS, TOF/MS, FTIR, etc) allows the identification and quantification of each marker (1) as well the plant/food fingerprint/profile (2).

Combinations of different, complementary analytical techniques completed with chemometric analysis are required for comprehensive metabolomic studies.

Specific predictions can be established for routine analysis, cheaper and easy to perform

Establishment of quality standards based on major biomarkers ( carotenoids, phenolics, vit. C) with antioxidant potential

Evaluation of technological flow, from raw material to intermediates and final products

Authenticity of products and their traceability (origin) Safety aspects ( PCH, pesticides) Use of rapid methods ( FTIR) which are in good

correlation with validated , expensive methods (HPLC, GC)

Specific predictions can be established for routine analysis, cheaper and easy to perform for many samples
