In this study, fatty acids, amino acids and organic acids in three color quinoas (WQ, white quinoa; RQ, red quinoa; BQ, black quinoa) were analyzed based on untargeted and targeted metabolomics. A total of 20 fatty acids, 30 amino acids and 17 organic acids were detected, and 4 fatty acids, 12 amino acids, and 12 organic acids were reported in quinoas for the first time. Significant differences (p < 0.05) of fatty acids (256.65 mg/g in RQ to 294.10 mg/g in BQ), amino acids (6627.54 mu g/g in WQ to 10452.72 mu g/g in BQ) and organic acids (21.21 mg/g in WQ to 31.84 mg/g in RQ) were presented in different quinoas. C-16:0 (77.26 mg/g similar to 97.58 mg/g), C-18:2n6c (73.26 mg/g similar to 99.67 mg/g), glutamic acid (1926.43 mu g/g similar to 3632.53 mu g/g), tyrosine (931.00 mu g/g similar to 1197.94 mu g/g), succinic acid (12.16 mg/g similar to 17.30 mg/g) and L-malic acid (1.14 mg/g similar to 5.39 mg/g) were common in quinoas. According to principal component analysis (PCA), WQ could be characterized by heptadecanoic acid (1.99 mg/g), palmitic acid (97.58 mg/g), glutamine (5.43 mu g/g), ornithine (53.78 mu g/g) and citric acid (0.79 mg/g); BQ was characterized by oleic acid (86.33 mg/g), myristic acid (2.02 mg/g), beta-alanine (31.64 mu g/g), tyrosine (1197.94 mu g/g), proline (2003.69 mu g/g) and lactic acid (2.57 mg/g); RQ was characterized by L-alanine (746.41 mu g/g), L-norvaline (6.67 mu g/g), succinic acid (17.30 mg/g) and L-malic acid (5.39 mg/g), respectively. In conclusion, characterization of fatty acids, amino acids and organic acids in three colored quinoas could be well analyzed based on metabolomics.
