| Research Abstract |
Recently, functional components become important in fruit in addition to size and sweetness. Glucose-realted metabolites that were studied in this project are different from popular functional components such as vitamins and polyphenols. There could be a novel component that is not of antioxidants such as vitamins and polyphenols. In the results obtained in tracer experiments using sea buckthorn, the metabolite was metabolically inactive compared to other sugars. Ripening and environmental stress were investigated because those may affect synthesis and accumulation of the metabolites. The results suggested that the plant was a climacteric type and the accumulation decreased during ripening.
