Abstract：
This investigation aimed to identify the most favorable cultivar based on plant metabolites for potential targeted cultivation in the pharmaceutical industry. The analysis revealed the presence of 19 individual phenolics and 80 individual volatiles across the cultivars, a breadth of data not previously explored to such an extent. Flavones emerged as the predominant phenolic group in all mint-scented cultivars, except for peppermint, where hydroxycinnamic acids dominated. Peppermint exhibited high concentrations of phenolic acids, particularly caffeic acid derivatives and rosmarinic acid, which are known for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Luteolin-rich concentrations were found in several mint varieties, known for their antioxidative, antitumor, and cardio-protective properties. Swiss mint and spearmint stood out with elevated levels of flavanones, particularly eriocitrin, akin to citrus fruits. Monoterpene volatiles, including menthol, camphor, limonene, and carvone, were identified across all cultivars, with Swiss mint and spearmint exhibiting the highest amounts. The study underscores the potential for targeted cultivation to enhance volatile yields and reduce agricultural land use. Notably, chocolate mint demonstrated promise for volatile content, while apple mint excelled in phenolics, suggesting their potential for broader agricultural, pharmaceutical, and food industry production.
摘要：
这项研究旨在根据植物代谢物确定最有利的品种，以用于制药行业的潜在目标种植。分析显示，整个品种中存在19种单独的酚类物质和80种单独的挥发物，以前没有探索到这种程度的广泛数据。黄酮是所有薄荷味品种中的主要酚类，除了薄荷,其中羟基肉桂酸占主导地位。薄荷表现出高浓度的酚酸，特别是咖啡酸衍生物和迷迭香酸，以其抗炎和抗氧化特性而闻名。在几个薄荷品种中发现了富含木犀草素的浓度，以其抗氧化作用而闻名，抗肿瘤，和心脏保护特性。瑞士薄荷和留兰香因黄烷酮含量升高而脱颖而出，尤其是麦片,类似柑橘类水果。单萜挥发物,包括薄荷醇,樟脑,柠檬烯,和Carvone,在所有品种中都被鉴定出来，瑞士薄荷和留兰香含量最高。该研究强调了有针对性的种植以提高挥发性产量和减少农业用地的潜力。值得注意的是,巧克力薄荷展示了挥发性成分的前景，虽然苹果薄荷擅长酚类，表明他们在更广泛的农业领域的潜力，Pharmaceutical,和食品工业生产。
