Analysis of Quality and Phenolic Metabolome of Thompson Seedless Raisins from Nine Production Areas in Turpan by HU Jinge, BAI Shijian

“…A total of 246 differential metabolites were identified in raisins from Lukeqin versus Gaochangqu (124), Qiketai versus Shengjinxiang (144), and Yuanyichang versus Lianmuqin (66), with 54, 92 and 22 differential metabolites being unique to these comparisons, respectively and 10 differential metabolites being common to all of them. The above results indicate that Lianmuqin and Yuanyichang can be considered as advantageous production areas for Thompson seedless raisins.…”
