Core Tip
Core Tip: This study investigated the metabolomic profiles of wild Gardenia jasminoides (G. jasminoides) fruits from five regions in the Hunan Province, China, using ultra high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry, and further analysed the relationship between the typical active ingredients and antioxidant activity. Contrary to conventional assumptions, chlorogenic acid exhibited a significant negative correlation to ferric reducing antioxidant power, indicating that the antioxidant capacity depends on synergistic interactions of multiple components. The fruits from Miluo demonstrated upregulated bioactive metabolites, while those from Lukou exhibited a higher flavonoid content. The findings of this research provide deeper insights into the bioactive components of G. jasminoides.
