Food as complex mixture of proteins, lipids, vitamins, etc. cannot be separated and identified by using in only one method. This article presents a revision on the hyphenated chromatographic techniques and methods used in food analysis and described main application in food science research, and determination of xenobiotics and their metabolites in environmental. Also article discusses applications of “omics” in food analysis (proteomics, transcriptomics, genomics, metabolomis) and new discipline of – foodomics.
Application of solid phase microextraction (SPMŁi) and gas chromatography combined with mass spectrometry (GC-MS) for analysis of the chlorophenoxy herbicide residues was studied. The optimal conditions for SPME/GC-MS analysis of chlorophenoxy herbicides were determined as follows: adsorption time 15-20 min at 50°C and desorption time 6 min at 220°C. The highest concentration of MCPA was found in the tissues of the weeds of M. inodora, C. bursa pastoris, while the lowest in A. githago, P. aviculare. In addition to that, in May and June the studied herbicides were found in low quantities in the surface waters of the river of Liwiec.
Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry is a powerful tool for identification of biomolecules such as peptides, proteins, oligosaccharides and neurotransmitters. Recent development of the nanospray techniques, applied at ultralow flow-rates, allowed a sensitive analysis of compounds at femto/attomolar level. Here, we present application of a novel nanospray device for the analysis and fragmentation of peptides with high sensitivity on a sector instrument. The lowest applied flow-rate of the mobile phase was maintained at 50 nl/min with a sample load of 90 fmol. Nanospray also provided a complete analysis of 500 nl of the sample for over 10 min, including sequencing of as little as 40 pmol of a substance. Such analysis provides full structural information necessary to identify the molecules.
The aim of the study was to evaluate the ability of Galactomyces geotrichum MK017 for the biosynthesis of 2-phenylethyl alcohol and optimization of the culture medium composition in order to increase the yield of the product. The culture of Galactomyces geotrichum MK017 strain was carried out in the laboratory scale. For isolation of volatiles Solid Phase Microextraction (SPME) has been used. The identification and quantification of aroma compounds produced by examined microflora was determined by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC/MS) system. The results showed that the tested mould Galactomyces geotrichum MK017 shows the potential for the production of 2-phenylethyl alcohol, but also for the synthesis of phenylacetaldehyde, phenylacetic and phenyllactic acids. For the optimization of the 2-phenylethyl alcohol production yield four different medium composition have been tested. The bioprocess of aroma compound production by tested microorganism was the most efficient on the medium composed of sucrose (80 g/l) and L-phenylalanine (21 g/l) and pH value of 5.0. Using this composition in a batch culture of 770 ml volume the highest concentration of 2-phenylethyl alcohol has been obtained – 6 mg/l. At the same time amount of phenylacetaldehyde, phenylacetic acid and phenyllactic acidhas reached 2.2 mg/l, 10.66 mg/l and 32.3 mg/l respectively.
A reliable and sensitive liquid chromatography-electrospray ionisation tandem mass spectrometry analytical method has been developed for the determination of lincomycin in honey samples. After extraction with phosphate buffer by ultrasound, the extracted solution was subjected to the polymeric solid-phase extraction cartridge to remove endogenous compounds. The analysis was carried out on a triple-quadropule tandem mass spectrometer in the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode via electrospray interface operated in positive ionisation modes. The procedure was validated in accordance with the European Commission Decision 2002/657/EC. The mean recovery of the analyte was 80%, with the corresponding intra- and inter-day variation less than 10% and 15%, respectively. Decision limits (CCα) and detection capability (CCß) were 5.60 and 6.11 µg kg⁻¹, respectively.
Two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-D PAGE) led to identification in the polypeptide maps of boar seminal plasma of four conserved polypeptides with identical molecular weight of 24 kDA, and different ranges of isoelectric point (pI): (1) 7.4-7.7, (2) 8.1-8.4, (3) 8.5-8.8 and (4) 9.2-9.4. In the current study the molecular structures of these polypeptides were analysed, for the first time, by mass spectrometry (LC – MS/MS). Computerized mass spectrometry analysis of the peptides obtained after trypsin-digestion of the polypeptides demonstrated their similarity to the family of spermadhesins (crystal structure of two members of the spermadhesin family), especially to epididymal spermadhesin AWN-1. In addition, homology was found of peptides 3 and 4 with a lysozyme C precursor (1,4-beta-N-acetylmuramidase C). The results presented might indicate the participation of the analysed polypeptides in the processes accompanying fertilization.
Analytical methods based on gas chromatography- mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) and liquid chromatography- mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) were developed for the determination of chloramphenicol (CAP) in milk. GC-MS/MS was performed in negative chemical ionization (NCI) mode by monitoring the transitions - m/z 466→304, 466→322, and the results were compared with LC-MS/MS, in electrospray mode by monitoring the transitions of all the selected ions m/z 321→152, 321→257. The decision limit (CCα) for CAP determination by LC-MS/MS was established at a level of 0.11 µg/kg, while the corresponding value for GC-MS/MS was 0.083 µg/kg. Detection capability (CCß) for CAP by LC- MS/MS was 0.15µg/kg and for GC-MS/MS was 0.14 µg/kg. As it was found, both methods are useful for CAP determination in milk.
The importance of glycosylation in biological events and the role it plays in glycoprotein function and structure is an area in which there is growing interest. In order to understand how glycosylation affects the shape or function of a protein it is however important to have suitable techniques available to obtain structural information on the oligosaccharides attached to the protein. For many years the complexity of the structures required sophisticated analytical techniques only available to a few specialist laboratories. In many cases these techniques were not available or required a large amount of material and therefore the number of glycoproteins which were fully characterised were relatively few. In recent years there have been substantial developments in the analysis of glycosylation which has significantly changed the capability to fully characterise molecules of biological interest. A number of different techniques are available which differ in terms of their complexity, the amount of information which is available from them, the skill needed to perform them and their cost. It is now possible for many laboratories who do not specialise in glycosylation analysis to obtain some information although this may be incomplete. These developments do, however, also make complete characterisation of a glycoprotein a much less daunting task and in many cases this can be performed more easily and with less starting material than was previously required. In this review a summary will be given of current techniques and their suitability for different types of analysis will be considered.
Tandem mass spectrometry is an extremly useful tool for high sensitive sequence identification of peptides. In the case of cyclic peptides fragmentation can easily be performed for sequence analysis. However, analysis is usually tedious due to the lack of a defined beginning and end of the sequence. Since cyclic peptides are a highly in­teresting class of compounds especially for the pharmaceutical industry, ways have to be found to identify their structures. In this work we demonstrate how software and dedicated analytical strategies can be used for detailed analysis of these substances.
A method for the fast identification of trace levels of pesticide residues in agricultural crops was developed using low pressure gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (LP-GC/MS). The finalchromatographic determination took 12 minutes per sample while conventional GC/MS required at least 30 minutes. Also, improved peak shapes for dichlorvos, dimethoate, chlorothalonil, pirymethanil, pirimicarb, carbaryl, myclobutanil, flusilazole tebuconazole, fenarimol and iprodione were obtained which generally enabled lower limits of detection. The method was successfully applied to analysis of more than 40 pesticides in 120 samples of fruits, vegetables and cereals. With the aid of LP-GC/MS the number of samples analysed on the particular instrument could be at least doubled.
Extract of Linum usitatissimum seeds was analyzed by ESI-MS and ESI-MS/MS. The analysis confirms the presence of previously reported cyclolinopeptides: CLA (c(Pro- Pro-Phe-Phe-Leu-Ile-Ile-Leu-Val) and CLB (c(Pro-Pro-Phe-Phe-Val-Ile-Met-Ile-Leu)). Cyclolinopeptides CLD and CLE, which contain methionine oxide, were detected in small quantities only. These peptides likely result from the oxidation of their precur­sors, not reported previously: CLD' (c(Pro-Phe-Phe-Trp-Ile-Met-Leu-Leu)) and CLE'(c(Pro-Leu-Phe-Ile-Met-Leu-Val-Phe)), present at higher concentrations in unoxi- dized extract. Two new cyclic octapeptides: CLF (c(Pro-Phe-Phe-Trp-Val-Met-Leu- Met)) and CLG (c(Pro-Phe-Phe-Trp-Ile-Met-Leu-Met)) were detected and their se­quences were proposed on the basis of CID experiments and similarity with those of CLD.
Flavonoid glycosides constitute important group of plant secondary metabolites. This class of natural products play significant role in different physiological processes. A new methodological approach where mass spectrometric techniques are applied to structural studies of this class of compounds is presented. Four flavonoid O-monoglycosides and one C-monoglycoside were isolated from green parts of lupin (Lupinus luteus L.). Several different mass spectrometric techniques were applied to structural elucidation of isolated compounds. Desorption ionization mass spectrometry was used for registration of mass spectra of intact and derivatized (permethylated) flavonoid glycosides. In some cases electron impact mass spectra of permethylated compounds were also recorded. Methylated samples after methanolysis and further derivatization of free hydroxyl groups (methylation or acetylation) were analyzed with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Combined information drawn from the registered mass spectra enabled us to define molecular mass, structure of aglycones and sugars, and positions of glycosidic bonds on the aglycon. Structures of four flavonoid monoglycosides were elucidated as follows: genistein 7-O-glucoside (1), genistein 4'-O-glucoside (2), 2'-hydroxygenistein 7-O-glucoside (3), and apigenin or genistein 8-C-glycoside (5). For the fourth O-glycoside (4) only molecular mass and masses of the aglycone and sugar were estimated.
The metabolism of renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is more complicated than previously expected and understanding the biological phenomena regulated by variety of angiotensin metabolites requires their precise and possibly comprehensive quantitation. Physiological concentrations of angiotensins (Ang) in biological fluids are low, therefore their accurate measurements require very sensitive and specific analytical methods. In this study we developed an accurate and reproducible method of quantitation of angiotensin metabolites through coupling of liquid chromatography and electrospray ionization - mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS). With this method main angiotensin metabolites (Ang I, II, III, IV, 1-9, 1-7, 1-5) can be reliably measured in organ bath of rat tissues (aorta, renal artery, periaortal adipose tissue) and in medium of cultured endothelial cells (EA.hy926), exposed to Ang I for 15 minutes, in the absence or in the presence of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, perindoprilat. Presented LC-ESI-MS method proved to be a quick and reliable solution to comprehensive analysis of angiotensin metabolism in biological samples.
