Mass Spectrometry: Complex Analysis

909
Mass spectrometry is an important technique for the identification of pure compounds. However, it has some limitations for the analysis of complex mixtures, often due to excessive fragmentation making the spectrum too complicated to decipher. Mass spectrometry can be combined with suitable separation methods in sequence, forming hyphenated methods, which are useful in the analysis of complex mixtures.
GC–MS is a powerful hyphenated method commonly used in forensics and environmental...

Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Food Science
  • Environmental Science

Background:

  • Isotopic analysis is vital for understanding biological processes, origin, and authenticity.
  • Traditional mass spectrometry methods require sample gas conversion and involve destructive ionization.
  • Limitations of conventional techniques necessitate the development of alternative, non-destructive methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish and validate an Orbitrap mass spectrometry method for determining stable isotope ratios in fatty acids and fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs).
  • To assess the utility of the Orbitrap-MS in analyzing stable isotope ratios in natural food matrices, specifically vegetable butters.
  • To demonstrate the capability of the developed method in source differentiation based on isotopic signatures.

Main Methods:

  • Development of an Orbitrap-based method using stearic acid methyl ester as a model compound.
  • Analysis of stable isotope ratios (δ13C) in fatty acids and FAMEs using Electrospray Ionization (ESI) in positive ion mode.
  • Comparison of Orbitrap-MS results with Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (IRMS) using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and a dual-inlet system.

Main Results:

  • The ESI-Orbitrap system demonstrated high precision (<1.5‰) and accuracy for stable isotope ratio determination.
  • HPLC coupled with Orbitrap-MS provided the most accurate results and was selected for natural sample analysis.
  • The method successfully differentiated the geographical or botanical sources of cupuaçu, cocoa, and shea butters based on δ13C values.

Conclusions:

  • Orbitrap mass spectrometry is an effective tool for precise and accurate stable isotope analysis of fatty acids and FAMEs.
  • The developed method advances the application of high-resolution mass spectrometry in isotopic analysis.
  • This study highlights the potential of stable isotope analysis using Orbitrap-MS in food authentication and traceability.
