Summary: This study comprehensively analyzed the primary and secondary metabolites of seven tomato varieties, discovering 30 newly reported substances. Light-colored tomatoes were found to be rich in valuable antioxidants, flavonoids, while red tomatoes contained tomatoside A, an antihyperglycemic saponin. Spectral analysis showed high phenolic content in light tomatoes. GC-MS analysis revealed that monosaccharides were the main contributors to tomato composition, with San Marzano tomatoes having abundant monosaccharides, which explains their sweet flavor. This study provides a complete map of the metabolome heterogeneity of tomatoes for future breeding programs.

Summary: Analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in exhaled breath has shown great potential for disease detection. However, analyzing metabolic VOCs in breath is still a challenge. This study presents a method using ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS) to analyze a broad range of carbonyl metabolites in breath. The combination of a silicon microreactor for capturing carbonyl compounds and UHPLC-MS analysis may provide a quantitative method for identifying disease markers in exhaled breath.

Summary: The detection and understanding of emerging contaminants (ECs) pose new challenges to water pollution control. Triclosan (TCS), an emerging contaminant widely found in the environment, is a commonly used antibacterial agent. Microdialysis (MD), a sampling technique, combined with UHPLC-QTOF/MS analysis, was used to identify endogenous metabolites as biomarkers of TCS exposure in living crucian carp. The quantification of these biomarkers using UHPLC-MS/MS provided continuous monitoring of the effect of TCS on endogenous metabolites, contributing to a better understanding of its toxicological effect.

Summary: To enrich the flavor and preserve the polyphenolic content in grape juice during long-term storage, different strains of lactobacilli were screened and the optimal fermentation conditions were determined. The retention rate of total polyphenolic compounds remained at 50% after 45 days of storage at 4°C. Various metabolites, including polyphenolics, saccharides, and organic acids, were identified. The grape juice also contained volatile organic compounds (VOCs), mainly esters, aldehydes, and alcohols, which could be formed through complex metabolic pathways involving carboxylic acids and derivatives.

Summary: Diabetic retinopathy, a serious complication of diabetes, is a leading cause of blindness worldwide. The irreversibility of the condition makes current treatment methods unsatisfactory. Early detection and intervention are important in reducing the damage caused by diabetic retinopathy. Metabolomics, a branch of systems biology, can identify characteristic metabolic changes associated with the progression of diabetic retinopathy and discover potential biomarkers for clinical diagnosis and treatment. This review summarizes the known metabolomics biomarkers of diabetic retinopathy and discusses the possibility of the arginine-creatine metabolic pathway as a therapeutic strategy.
