Abstract: This study aimed to elucidate the changes of browning-related metabolite in fresh-cut potato and to identify anti-browning agents. Metabolomics and weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA) were used to identify metabolites and correlate them with potato browning traits. A total of 79 browning trait-positive-related metabolites and 19 browning trait-negative-related metabolites were obtained from four key modules via WGCNA. The accumulation of metabolites with rich reducing groups and acidic groups were found to enhance anti-browning activity in potatoes. Among these metabolites, only L-pyroglutamic acid (L-PA) and ascorbic acid had variable importance for the projection (VIP) values greater than 1.5. In addition, it was found that L-PA inhibited polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity by lowering pH and interacting with amino acid residues of PPO. L-PA also inhibited the growth of microorganisms in fresh-cut potato. Our results show that L-AP is an effective novel anti-browning agent with antibacterial activity. • Lipids and phenylpropanoids are the main contributors to potato browning. • Endogenous anti-browning components are rich in reducing and acidic groups. • Exogenous L-pyroglutamic acid inhibited potato browning and microbial growth.
