檸檬是蕓香科柑橘屬的常綠果樹,在世界柑橘產(chǎn)業(yè)中,檸檬產(chǎn)量次于橙和寬皮橘,位居第三位。檸檬在大航海時代就用于治療壞血癥,不僅能夠補充人體必需的維生素C,而且具有美容養(yǎng)顏、清除自由基、降尿酸、降血脂、降血壓和防癌抗癌等功效[1~5]。檸檬果實中具有特殊功效的成分主要有圣草枸櫞苷、柚皮苷、多甲氧基黃酮、D-檸檬烯、橙皮苷、地奧司明、香豆素及單萜物質(zhì)橙皮油素類、檸檬醛和檸檬苦素類等物質(zhì)[6]。
檸檬苦素類化合物是引起蕓香科果實“后苦”的主要原因[7,8],存在于果實的不同部位[9],具有抗腫瘤[10]及白血病細胞[11]等功效。橙皮苷、地奧司明可抑制腫瘤細胞增殖,引起細胞凋亡[12,13]、具有降血壓、降血脂等功效[14~16]、國外對檸檬、萊檬果實中黃酮物質(zhì)含量及功效研究有較多報道[2,13,17,18],黃酮含量與品種[19,20]、果實不同部位[21]、成熟度、生長環(huán)境等因素有關(guān)[22~24]。于玉涵分析了四川安岳檸檬果實中 13種類黃酮含量[25],Wanpeng Xi報道了重慶5個檸檬品種不同部位的主要酚類物質(zhì)及其抗氧化能力[26],王紅靜建立了尿酸模型,驗證了云南檸檬具有降尿酸的功效[27],云南德宏和四川安岳是國內(nèi)檸檬主產(chǎn)區(qū),瑞麗檸檬是國家地理標(biāo)志產(chǎn)品,檸檬鮮果較國內(nèi)市場提前1~2月上市,作者曾分析了德宏地區(qū)檸檬不同發(fā)育時期基本營養(yǎng)品質(zhì)的變化[28~30],但對云南檸檬果實中檸檬苦素、圣草枸櫞苷、橙皮苷和地奧司明等具有特殊功效的功能成分未見報道。本文分析瑞麗三個不同生長發(fā)育時期的檸檬果實中檸檬苦素及主要類黃酮物質(zhì)含量,可為檸檬深加工和健康飲食指導(dǎo)提供理論依據(jù)。
本文選擇云南省德宏州瑞麗市勐秀鄉(xiāng)勐典栽培的尤力克檸檬為研究對象,砧木為枳殼砧。種植地海拔950 mm,平均氣溫18.3~20 ℃,最高氣溫38.8 ℃,最低氣溫-2.1 ℃,1月份平均氣溫10.9 ℃~12.5 ℃,年均日照2218~2453 h,年均降雨量1400~1800 mm,年積溫6400~7300 ℃。樣品分析在中國農(nóng)業(yè)科學(xué)院柑桔研究所農(nóng)業(yè)部柑桔及苗木質(zhì)量監(jiān)督檢驗測試中心完成。

檸檬果實中類黃酮混合標(biāo)準(zhǔn)品的HPLC色譜圖見圖1?;旌蠘?biāo)準(zhǔn)品中各類黃酮成分目標(biāo)峰形尖銳,對稱性好。
檸檬果實中主要類黃酮成分含量結(jié)果見表2,由表中可見,不同發(fā)育時期檸檬果實中類黃酮種類和含量差異顯著。隨著檸檬果實的成熟,類黃酮含量總體呈下降趨勢,花后60 d總含量為83.15 mg/g,花后210 d下降至20.94 mg/g。檸檬果實中地奧司明含量最高,含量占總類黃酮含量的83.26%~84.61%、其次為黃烷酮類,占14.18%~15.45%,含量最低的為多甲氧基黃酮,含量僅為0.01%~0.89%。4種黃烷酮在不同發(fā)育時期均達到極顯著水平(p<0.01),橙皮苷、新橙皮苷隨著果實的成熟,含量呈下降趨勢,從花后60 d至花后210 d,分別下降了85.74%和76.11%;圣草枸櫞苷、柚皮苷則與之相反,隨著成熟度的增加,其含量增多,圣草枸櫞苷從0.02 mg/g增加至0.98 mg/g;柚皮苷在花后60 d未檢出,花后210 d含量為0.01 mg/g。
在柑橘中,柚皮素及產(chǎn)物在7-O-葡萄糖苷轉(zhuǎn)移酶的作用下先形成7-O-葡萄糖苷類,經(jīng)1,2-鼠李糖基轉(zhuǎn)移酶催化形成帶苦味的柚皮苷、新橙皮苷、新圣草次苷和枳屬苷,然后在1,6-鼠李糖基轉(zhuǎn)移酶的作用下分別形成無苦味的柚皮蕓香苷、橙皮苷、圣草次苷和香風(fēng)草苷[31,32]。本實驗中,新橙皮苷在花后150 d、210 d分別下降了75.6%、76.14%,圣草枸櫞苷在花后150 d、210 d分別增加了61.1%、64.2%,推測可能是新橙皮苷轉(zhuǎn)化為圣草枸櫞苷。
蘆丁在不同果實發(fā)育時期均達到了極顯著水平(p<0.01),含量隨著果實的成熟逐漸降低,花后60 d含量為1.31 mg/g,花后210 d下降至0.25 mg/g,降幅為81.02%。地奧司明是檸檬果實中含量最高的黃酮類物質(zhì),花后60 d含量為69.69 mg/g,占總類黃酮含量的83.81%,花后150 d降至14.91 mg/g,但仍是同一時期含量最高的物質(zhì),發(fā)育至花后210 d,含量為17.72 mg/g,占總類黃酮含量的84.61%。檸檬果實中未檢測出橘黃酮,甜橙黃酮和川皮苷均呈現(xiàn)先升后降的趨勢,花后150 d均達到最高值,二者均為0.01 mg/g。甜橙黃酮含量在不同時期達到了極顯著水平(p<0.01),花后60 d未檢出,花后150 d增至0.01 mg/g,花后210 d降低至0.001 mg/g,川皮苷未達到顯著水平。
本文中除了圣草枸櫞苷、柚皮苷在果實發(fā)育過程中含量呈上升趨勢,檸檬苦素、地奧司明和橙皮苷等物質(zhì)伴隨果實的發(fā)育和成熟其含量總體呈現(xiàn)下降的趨勢,這與Kim等人研究結(jié)果相似[33,34],J Chen等也表明4種甜橙中盡管黃烷酮在果實的綠熟期和轉(zhuǎn)色期其積累量有少許波動,但黃烷酮糖苷類在不同種質(zhì)果實的不同組織中都呈現(xiàn)總體下降的趨勢[12],說明黃酮類在柑橘果實中的代謝存在明顯的規(guī)律性變化,但檸檬果實中黃酮物質(zhì)具體代謝途徑有待進一步研究。
J Chen表明,橘、甜橙和檸檬中無苦味的蕓香糖苷類尤其是橙皮苷異常豐富[35],Delourdesmatabilbao指出蘆丁是柑橘中含量最為豐富的黃酮醇糖苷,且以檸檬中的含量居高[36],Escriche等也指出黃酮醇則主要存在于檸檬中[37],于玉涵表明四川尤力克檸檬果實中含量最高的類黃酮物質(zhì)為橙皮苷和圣草枸櫞苷[16],Wanpeng Xi也報道了四川檸檬果實中橙皮苷是主要的黃酮類物質(zhì)[17],Vincenzo Sicari指出意大利卡拉布里亞區(qū)檸檬果實中新橙皮苷含量最高、柚皮苷次之[16]。本文檢測結(jié)果表明,在整個檸檬果實發(fā)育過程中,地奧司明含量最高,其次為橙皮苷和新橙皮苷為主的黃烷酮類,含量最低的為多甲氧基黃酮,但未檢出橘黃酮,蘆丁為代表的黃酮醇類物質(zhì)含量在檸檬果實中并不高,該結(jié)果與現(xiàn)有文獻的差異可能由于地理氣候、土壤條件有關(guān),推測云南德宏氣候條件下更有利于地奧司明成分積累,具體原因有待進一步研究。

三個不同時期的檸檬果實中均檢測到檸檬苦素,含量隨著果實的成熟而逐漸降低,如圖5所示。檸檬苦素在檸檬果實中含量見圖 9,檸檬苦素在果實發(fā)育過程中呈下降趨勢,含量差異達到顯著水平(p<0.05),花后60 d含量為0.11 mg/g,花后150 d下降至0.05 mg/g,花后210 d含量最低,僅為0.04 mg/g。

根據(jù)人口感檸檬苦素閾值在6 mg/L以下,花后210 d時仍有較明顯的苦味。今后應(yīng)完善和深入其在代謝及調(diào)控方面的研究,為高效提升檸檬果實特殊功效成分調(diào)控提供便捷之徑,并為果實品質(zhì)的提升提供理論依據(jù)。
本文研究表明,在檸檬果實發(fā)育過程中,類黃酮含量總體呈下降趨勢,花后60 d總含量為83.15 mg/g,花后210 d下降至20.94 mg/g。檸檬果實中含有大量類黃酮,尤其是地奧司明和橙皮苷,地奧司明含量占總類黃酮含量的83.26%~84.61%,其次為黃烷酮類(橙皮苷和新橙皮苷為主),占14.18%~15.45%,含量最低的為多甲氧基黃酮,含量僅為0.01%~0.89%,未檢測出橘黃酮。除了川皮苷,其余物質(zhì)均達到極顯著水平(p<0.01)?;ê?210 d時,檸檬苦素含量仍為 0.04 mg/g,有較明顯的苦味。
