Identification of health-promoting bioactive phenolics in black walnut using cloud-based metabolomics platform

Abstract
This study aimed to identify bioactive phenolics of eleven black walnut cultivars using a cloud-based metabolomics platform. The metabolomics software platform, XCMS Online, was used to incorporate peak detection, peak grouping, spectra extraction and non-linear retention time correction/alignment. In total, 49 phenolics previously known to promote health benefits were putatively identified in the black walnut kernels. The relative abundance of these phenolics differed significantly among the studied cultivars. Antioxidant activity of the Mystry extract was highest among the six examined cultivars. In addition, the antioxidant activities were found to be positively correlated with the relative abundance of thirteen phenolics. The principal component analysis provided a visible differentiation in phenolic metabolite profiles among the examined black walnuts. The results of hierarchical cluster analysis showed three clusters of black walnuts. Mystry differed from the other cultivars due to its highest relative abundance of gallic acid and ellagitannins. This study demonstrated that metabolite profiling could be an efficient analytical tool to identify potential health-promoting compounds and investigate metabolite variations among black walnuts.
