“…The examined seeds encompassed palmitic and stearic acids as the major SFA, others detected at much smaller levels included arachidic, myristic, and behenic acids, in accordance with previous reports 16 , 25 , 26 . Palmitic acid (C16:0) (peak 33) was the major detected SFA in the examined seeds reaching highest level in OS and OA (10.5 and 9.9 mg/g, respectively), and lowest in Melilotus MO and MS (1.9 and 2.3, respectively).…”

“…The examined seeds were enriched in oleic, linoleic, and α-linolenic acids with variable amounts, in line with previous reports 16 , 25 , 26 . Oleic acid (peak 35), monounsaturated ω-9 fatty acid, was the major distinguished MUFA in all seeds ranging from 2.4 to 27.3 mg/g except Melilotus MO and MS (0.6 and 0.8 mg/g, respectively) detected at highest level in Ononis OS 27.3 mg/g followed by OA, Trifolium TM, and Ononis OR (9.9–12.5 mg/g).…”

Exploring novel sources of plant protein for nutrition of both humans and animals is motivated mainly by its growing demand worldwide, besides identifying healthy alternatives for animal protein. The present study evaluates metabolome diversity within 15 legume seed species. The examined samples comprised three Melilotus, four Medicago, four Trifolium, and four Ononis seed species. A holistic approach for metabolites profiling using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS) led to the annotation and quantification of 87 metabolites comprising alcohols, free amino acids, aromatics, fatty acids/esters, nitrogenous compounds, organic acids, sugar alcohols, sugars, terpenes, and steroids. Fatty acids represented the major metabolite class represented by palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acids. Sucrose and pinitol were the major sugars and sugar alcohols among seeds. Ononis seeds (OR, OS and OA) were the most abundant in fatty acids, sugars, sugar alcohols, and free amino acids, whereas Melilotus species (MO and MS) were least enriched in these key nutrients posing Ononis as potential food source for humans and animals. The examined seeds were generally low in sulfur-containing free amino acids and lacking many of the essential free amino acids. Multivariate data analysis aided in the identification of Ononis metabolite markers belonging to various classes i.e., (alcohol) glycerol, (sugar) allofuranose, and (sugar alcohol) pinitol, although the differentiation between Medicago, Melilotus, and Trifolium genera was not attained suggestive for other analytical platforms for its classification.

“…In addition, the extract was found to be rich in (9Z,12Z)-octadecadienoic acid (20.22%, 366 ppm), 14-methylpentadecanoic acid (19.52%, 353 ppm) and (9E)-octadecenoic acid (15.94%, 289 ppm). The presence of unsaturated fatty acids in the seeds of Melilotus species, M. alba and M. officinalis, was previously reported using gas chromatography and flame ionization analysis [23].…”

GC-MS analysis of the n-hexane extract of Melilotus officinalis seeds revealed twelve compounds with a combined area percentage of 98.33% predominantly, (9Z,12Z)-octadecadienoic acid (20.22%, 366 ppm), 14-methylpentadecanoic acid (19.52%, 353 ppm) and (9E)-octadecenoic acid (15.94%, 289 ppm). Two compounds, namely, cis-coumaric acid-2-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (cis-melilotoside, 1) and 1,2-benzopyrone (coumarin, 2), were isolated from the MeOH extract of the seeds of M. officinalis. The structures of isolated compounds were determined by spectroscopic techniques such as NMR, UV-Vis, and FTIR. The MeOH extract of M. Officinalis was also tested for its antioxidant activity using DPPH assay. The extract showed 29.87% DPPH inhibition at concentration of 100 μg/mL.

“…The composition of the latter fractions (cell wall, lipid) was taken from literature or assumed to be similar to data for Medicago sativa . Fatty acid composition data from Bakoglu et al (2010) was used. Cell wall composition, including cellulose, pectins, lignin and hemicellulose, was derived from data of Jung and Engels (2002), Nakashima et al (2008) and Johnson et al (2007) and assumed to be the same for M. truncatula as for M. sativa .…”

Genome-scale metabolic network models can be used for various analyses including the prediction of 2 metabolic responses to changes in the environment. Legumes are well known for their rhizobial symbiosis 3 that introduces nitrogen into the global nutrient cycle. Here, we describe a fully compartmentalised, mass 4 and charge-balanced, genome-scale model of the clover Medicago truncatula, which has been adopted as a 5 model organism for legumes. We employed flux balance analysis to demonstrate that the network is capable 6 of producing biomass (amino acids, nucleotides, lipids, cell wall) in experimentally observed proportions, 7 during day and night. By connecting the plant model to a model of its rhizobial symbiont, Sinorhizobium 8 meliloti, we were able to investigate the effects of the symbiosis on metabolic fluxes and plant growth and 9 could demonstrate how oxygen availability influences metabolic exchanges between plant and symbiont, 10 thus elucidating potential benefits of amino acid cycling. We thus provide a modelling framework, in which 11 the interlinked metabolism of plants and nodules can be studied from a theoretical perspective.
