Abstract

To promote the consumption of flowers and to utilize the nutritional value of proteins, the efficacy of the beneficial components of flowers has been intensively studied. Anthemis nobilis was used as the study object, and all its volatile components (VOCs) were fingerprinted using headspace solid-phase micro-extraction gas-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME/GC–MS). GC–MS fingerprints of five parts of Anthemis nobilis were established using three proteins, bovine lactoferrin (BLF), bovine lactoglobulin (β-Lg), and human serum albumin (HSA), as nutrient transporters. The interactions between the volatile components from different parts of the mother chrysanthemum plant and the nutrient/transport proteins were investigated. The results of fingerprinting showed that the flavor components were dominated by alkenes. In addition, this study revealed that among the three nutrient transporters, the strongest binding to the adsorbed volatile components was HSA, followed by BLF, and β-Lg was second. In addition, a characteristic molecule, camphene, was screened. Integrated molecular simulation using fluorescence spectroscopy was used to validate the results of the interaction of the nutrient/transport proteins systems with characteristic molecule. The properties of the characteristic molecules such as absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity in vivo were analyzed using ADMET to provide a theoretical basis for the preparation of flower-flavored dairy products.
