Metabolomics and Transcriptomics Reveal the Effects of Different Fermentation Times on Antioxidant Activities of <i>Ophiocordyceps sinensis</i> by Min He, Tao Wang, Chuyu Tang, Mengjun Xiao, Xiaojian Pu, Jianzhao Qi, Yuling Li, Xiuzhang Li

“…The antioxidant results of <i>O. sinensis</i> indicate that the ferric ion-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), antioxidant capacity (2.74 ± 0.12 μmol Trolox/g), 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH•) free radical scavenging rate (60.21 ± 0.51%), and the hydroxyl free radical scavenging rate (91.83 ± 0.68%) reached a maximum on day 30. Using LC-MS/MS to measure the metabolites on D24, D30, and D36, we found that the majority of the differential accumulated metabolites (DAMs) primarily accumulate in lipids, organoheterocyclic compounds, and organic acids and their derivatives. …”
