摘要

This study utilized non-targeted metabolomics to analyze the phenolic compounds extracted from red-skinned sweet potato peels using water, ethanol, and ethanol with 2% vitamin C (Vc + 2% ethanol). The results revealed that the total phenolic content of the polyphenol extract obtained using the ethanol extraction method was significantly greater than that obtained using the other methods (365.99 ± 0.26 mg GAE/mL with 65% ethanol, v/v, p < 0.05). Antioxidant activity analysis (DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging assays) also demonstrated the superior performance of ethanol extraction (p < 0.05). In antimicrobial tests, ethanol extraction exhibited superior inhibitory effects against Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis. LC-MS analysis revealed 401 phenolic compounds, with phenolic acids (39.90%) and flavonoids being the predominant ones (28.62%–37.80%), and phenolic acids as the most abundant (64.68%) in the ethanol extract. Thus, ethanol extraction was considered the optimal method for obtaining phenolic compounds from red-skinned sweet potato peels, providing a scientific basis for the high-value utilization of these compounds.
