2017 journal article

Inter- and intra-seasonal changes in anthocyanin accumulation and global metabolite profiling of six blueberry genotypes

JOURNAL OF FOOD COMPOSITION AND ANALYSIS, 59, 105–110.

By: M. Timmers n, M. Grace n , G. Yousef n & M. Lila n 

Contributors: M. Timmers n, M. Grace n , G. Yousef n & M. Lila n 

author keywords: Anthocyanin; HPLC; PCA; Blueberry; Metabolite profile; Genotype and seasonal variations; Food analysis; Food composition
TL;DR: Genotypes were easily distinguished from one another across each harvest season, indicating that each genotype had distinctly different metabolite profile, whereas each of the rabbiteye genotypes overlapped on the scores plot, indicating commonalities in metabolite profiles.
