Comparison of the content of taste and nutrition-related non-volatile compounds in cultivated and wild blueberry varieties in Northeast China by Xu Xie, Jinlong Tian, Yuehua Wang, Chi Shu, Hailong Gui, Zhen Cheng, Zeming Wang, Ziqi Song, Qilin Tian, Bosu Wen, Bin Li

“…Otherwise, 24 flavonoids have significant advantages in WB, while amino acids and their derivatives have specific advantages in WB and CBs, which may determine the differences in fruit aroma and taste between the two. In addition, we found that “alanine, aspartate, and glutamate metabolism” is the most critical differential metabolic pathway among WB and CBs; fumaric acid, succinic acid, L-glutamic acid, and L-argininosuccinate are considered key biomarkers for distinguishing WB from CBs. …”
