Chemical Analysis of Dietary Constituents in Rosa roxburghii and Rosa sterilis Fruits

BothRosa roxburghiiandR. sterilis, belonging to the Rosaceae, are endemic species in Guizhou Province, China. The fruits of these two species are mixed-used as functional food in the region. Aiming to elucidate the phytochemical characteristics ofR. roxburghiiandR. sterilisfruits, the essential oils and constituents in a methanol extract have been analyzed and compared by GC-MS and UFLC/Q-TOF-MS, respectively. As a result, a total of 135 volatile compounds were identified by GC-MS and 91 components were different betweenR. roxburghiiandR. sterilisfruits; a total of 59 compounds in methanol extracts were identified by UFLC/Q-TOF-MS, including 13 organic acids, 12 flavonoids, 11 triterpenes, nine amino acids, five phenylpropanoid derivatives, four condensed tannins, two stilbenes, two benzaldehyde derivatives and one benzoic acid derivative; and nine characteristic compounds were found betweenR. roxburghiiandR. sterilisfruits. This systematic study plays an important role forR. roxburghiiandR. sterilisfruits in the product development.Keywords:Rosa roxburghii;Rosa sterilis;constituents;GC-MS;UFLC/Q-TOF-MS
