Background/Objectives: Dartmoor Estate Tea plantation in Devon, UK, is renowned for its unique microclimate and varied soil conditions, which contribute to the distinctive flavours chemical profiles of tea. The diversity fresh leaf samples from different were assessed via collected various garden locations within plantation. Methods: Fresh leaf, differed by location, cultivar, time day, variety, analysed using Flow Infusion Electrospray Ionisation Mass Spectrometry (FIE-MS). Results: Random...

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are widely used persistent synthetic chemicals that have been linked to adverse health effects. While the behavior of PFAS has evaluated in environment, our understanding reaction products mammalian systems is limited. This study identified biological transformation generated mass spectral libraries facilitate an automated search identification. The 27 PFAS, spanning 5 chemical subclasses (alcohols, sulfonamides, carboxylic acids, ethers, esters),...
Oak decline syndromes such as Acute Decline (AOD) and Chronic (COD) are becoming increasingly prevalent with this comes the need for more quantitative, sensitive standardised visual oak health monitoring. Phenotyping protocols were developed to specifically measure severity based on a comprehensive set of simple phenotypic descriptors. A total 36 measurements describing status included aspects tree size, crown condition, presence biotic agents number derived composite Phenotypic collected...
Abstract Introduction Flow infusion electrospray high resolution mass spectrometry (FIE-HRMS) fingerprinting produces complex, dimensional data sets which require specialist in-silico software tools to process the prior analysis. Objectives Present spectral binning as a pragmatic approach post-acquisition procession of FIE-HRMS metabolome data. Methods A was developed that included elimination single scan m/z events, spectra and averaging across profile. The modal accurate then extracted for...
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are distributed globally in products such as food wrappers, firefighting foam, carpets, much more. PFAS last the body for a long time, some highly toxic. There potentially still thousands of undiscovered PFAS. Although structures can vary dramatically, vast majority have kind carbon-fluorine chain (e.g., CF2) which allows an automated non-targeted approach. In fact, FluoroMatch is first software to process mass spectrometry data...
