Abstract 【Objective】Browning is the main element affecting the commercial value of Luffa cylindrica. The principal consideration of browning is linked to the metabolism of phenolic acids. Studying the changes of phenolic acid during the browning process of Luffa is helpful to understand the physiological mechanism of browning, so as to provide the basis for the storage and processing, breed selection and utilization of germplasm resources of Luffa. 【Method】Browning-resistant Luffa cultivar 2D-2 and browning-prone cultivar 35D-7 were used as experiment materials. Their browning degree, total phenol content and polyphenol oxidase activity after fresh cutting for different time were measured. Ultra high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS) was utilized to analyze the metabolomic of Luffa pulp before and after browning in boiling water bath. 【Result】 After fresh-cut browning treatment, the content of polyphenols and the polyphenol oxidase activity in the flesh of both two Luffa cultivars were increased. Luffa 35D-7 had severer browning degree. The total phenol content after 24 h storage was much more than 3 times of that of 2D-2, and the polyphenol oxidase activity achieved the top at 12 h, reaching 174.23 U·g-1·min-1. Based on metabolomics, the substrate of enzymatic browning reaction and the difference of metabolites in browning-prone Luffa 35D-7 before and after browning were analyzed. A total of 420 metabolites were detected, 229 of which were differential metabolites. After browning, the contents of 140 kinds of differential metabolites were substantially decreased, while 89 kinds were increased. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis demonstrated that metabolites related to phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, proline metabolism and flavonoid biosynthesis displayed significant changes. The results of qualitative and quantitative analysis of metabolomics suggested the content of p-coumaric acid was the highest in the phenolic acids identified in the flesh of the tested Luffa, followed by coniferin and gentisic acid. After browning treatment, 35 different metabolites were classified as phenolic acid metabolites. Among them, the content of coniferaldehyde, 3-aminosalicylic acid and phenethyl caffeate decreased most obviously, while the content of syringin, 2,5-dihydroxy benzoic acid O-hexside and isochlorogenic acid A increased significantly, and the log2 fold change was more than 10. 【Conclusion】The main phenolic substances in the flesh of 35D-7 were p-coumaric, and the main phenolic acid metabolites involved in the browning process of 35D-7 were coniferaldehyde, syringin and isochlorogenic acid A etc. The results could help further reveal the physiological mechanism of Luffa browning and provide basis for the improvement of Luffa variety.
