Using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) technology in multiple reaction monitoring mode, a widely targeted metabolomics approach was employed to identify metabolites in five tissues (exocarp, endocarp, segment membrane, pulp, and seeds) of the Shatian pomelo fruit. The differences in metabolite composition and abundance among different tissues were analyzed using multivariate statistical analysis methods. The results showed that a total of 1722 metabolites were identified from the five tissues of the Shatian pomelo, including 413 flavonoids and 277 amino acids and their derivatives. Flavonoid metabolites accumulate the most abundantly in the exocarp and seeds, while amino acids and their derivatives are primarily accumulated in the exocarp and pulp. A total of 649 key differential metabolites were screened, including flavonoids, amino acids, and their derivatives, indicating the presence of tissue-specific accumulation of metabolites in the Shatian pomelo. This study systematically investigated the metabolite distribution in different tissue parts of the Shatian pomelo, and validated the feasibility of widely targeted metabolomics technology in pomelo quality analysis. It provided a theoretical reference for metabolic research on the Shatian pomelo and other citrus fruits, and offered a theoretical basis for the efficient utilization of pomelo resources.
