Popis: Carbon dots (CDs), a novel type of nanomaterial, play crucial roles in the agriculture field. However, it remains unclear their impacts on the flavor quality of vegetables. The present study synthesized a novel chitooligosaccharide-peanut oligopeptide-carbon dots (COS-POP-CDs) material through the chitooligosaccharide (COS) and peanut oligopeptide (POP) high temperature Maillard reactions and studied its effect on the flavor quality of Chinese cabbage (Choy sum). Results indicated that COS-POP-CDs emit blue visible light that readily absorbed by chloroplasts, while also demonstrating some degree of antibacterial and antioxidant activities. After transplanting of Choy sum, foliar spraying 0.12 mg/mL COS-POP-CDs twice can increase the content of soluble proteins, Vitamin C, and enhance the strawberry and spicy flavors of Choy Sum. After harvest of Choy Sum, foliar spraying 0.12 mg/mL COS-POP-CDs once can slow down the spoilage. These results suggest that COS-POP-CDs have significant potential to improve crop quality.
