Non-targeted LC-MS metabolomics reveal shifts from wound-induced enzymatic browning to lignification during extended storage of fresh-cut lettuce in modified atmosphere packaging.
Article in Current research in food science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) is a conventional method used to prolong the shelf-life of fresh-cut vegetables, including lettuce. However, MAP-stored lettuce remains perishable, and its deterioration mechanism is not fully understood. Here, we utilized non-targeted LC-MS metabolomics to evaluate the effects of cutting and extended storage time on metabolite profiles of lettuce stored in MAP. Additionally, hyperspectral imaging was used to measure perceptual changes. Our findings reveal a bipartite response to wounding. In early storage, enzymatic browning was the main response to wounding, evidenced by accumulation of caffeic acid derivatives and flavonoids, substrates for polyphenol oxidases. As storage progressed, enzymatic browning was inhibited, and a shift towards lignification became apparent, evidenced by accumulation of monolignol derivatives. These findings offer new insights into the deterioration mechanism of fresh-cut lettuce occurring in MAP.
