Solanum lycopersicum L.: A High-Resolution Mass Spectrometric Approach for the Comprehensive Characterization of Phenolic and Glycoalkaloid Compounds

Tomato Solanum lycopersicum L. contains a large number of polyphenolic complexes, which are biologically active compounds. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in combination with a ion trap (tandem mass spectrometry) was used to identify target analytes in extracts of tomatoes obtained from the collection of the N.I. Vavilov All-Russian Institute of Plant Genetic Resources. The results of initial studies revealed the presence of 102 compounds, of which 22 were identified for the first time in S. lycopersicum L. These are flavones: apigenin, luteolin; flavanols: kaempferol, taxifolin, myricetin, hydroxycinnamic acids: coutaric acid, 5- O-p -coumaroylquinic acid, feruloylquinic acid, chicoric acid, 4,5- O -dicaffeoylquinic acid; hydroxybenzoic acids: salvianolic acid D and salvianolic acid G; coumarins fraxetin and fraxetin-7- O -β-glucuronide, anthocyanin pelargonidin, cyclohexanecarboxylic acid perillic acid; rosmanol, oxylipin colnelenic acid, benzenepropanoic acid ethyl rosmarinate, lignans: medioresinol and medioresinol- O -hexoside, triterpenoid squalene, etc.
