Detecting and measuring food fraud is a challenging analytical task since very wide range of ingredients types may be adulterated by numerous potential adulterants, many which are yet unknown. To date most the methods applied for control targeted methods, focused on detection one or few classes known compounds. There an increasing availability solutions applications based high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), allowing parallel non-targeted approaches, novel compound identification...
Abstract Introduction and Objective Rumex sanguineus , a traditional medicinal plant of the Polygonaceae family, is gaining popularity as an edible resource. However, despite its historical nutritional significance, chemical composition remains poorly understood. To deepen understanding composition, in-depth analysis using non-targeted, mass spectrometry-based metabolomics was performed. Methods roots, stems leaves samples were analyzed by UHPLC-HRMS subsequently subjected to feature-based...
Oleoylethanolamide (OEA) is a biologically active lipid amide that released by small-intestinal enterocytes during the absorption of dietary fat and inhibits feeding engaging nuclear receptor, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPAR-alpha). Previous studies have shown anorexic effects systemically administered OEA require activation sensory afferents vagus nerve. The central circuits involved in mediating OEA-induced hypophagia remain unknown. In present study, we report...
Sub-optimal growing conditions have a major effect on plants; therefore, large efforts are devoted to maximizing the availability of agricultural inputs crops. To increase sustainable use non-renewable inputs, attention is currently given study plants under non-optimal conditions. In this work, we investigated impact sub-optimal macrocations and light intensity in two lettuce varieties that differ for accumulation secondary metabolites (i.e., ‘Red Salanova’ ‘Green Salanova’)....
Hulled, or ancient, wheats were the earliest domesticated by mankind and ancestors of current wheats. Their cultivation drastically decreased during 1960s; however, increasing demand for a healthy equilibrated diet led to rediscovering these grains. Our aim was use non-targeted metabolomic approach discriminate characterize similarities differences between ancient Triticum varieties. For this purpose, 77 hulled wheat samples from three different varieties collected: Garfagnana T. turgidum...
Parent and modified mycotoxin analysis remains a challenge because of their chemical diversity, the presence isomeric forms, lack analytical standards. The creation application collision cross section (CCS) database for mycotoxins may bring new opportunities to overcome these challenges. However, it is still an open question whether common CCS databases can be used independently from instrument type ion mobility mass spectrometry (IM-MS) technologies, which utilize different methodologies...
Thirty-two varieties of common and durum wheat, hordeum, barley, tritordeum collected over two harvesting years (2020 2021) were investigated for the presence multiple Fusarium-related mycotoxins in asymptomatic plants. DON, 3-AcDON, 15-AcDON, T-2, HT-2, ZEN together with emerging mycotoxin ENN B major modified form namely DON3Glc, quantified by means UHPLC-MS/MS. Overall, DON most frequently detected mycotoxins, albeit large inter-year variability was observed related to different climate...
The diversity of cannabinoid isomers and complexity Cannabis products pose significant challenges for analytical methodologies. In this study, we developed a method to analyze 14 different in diverse samples within milliseconds by leveraging the unique adduct-forming behavior silver ions advanced cyclic ion mobility spectrometry-mass spectrometry. achieved separation from four groups cannabinoids: Δ3-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) (
Considering that functional components of plant foods are mainly secondary-metabolism products, we investigated the shaping health-promoting compounds in hydroponically grown butterhead lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. var. capitata) as a function strength nutrient solution utilized. To this aim, untargeted metabolomics profiling, vitro antioxidant capacity (total phenolics, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS), cupric reducing...
In 2017-2018, extensive symptoms of sudden decline and fruit rot were observed on date palms in southern Tunisia. Samples diseased plants randomly collected six localities. Based morphological identification, Fusarium was the most frequent fungal genus detected. A sequencing translation elongation factor, calmodulin, second largest subunit RNA polymerase II genes used to identify 63 representative strains at species level investigate their phylogenetic relationships. The main detected...
SUMMARY In order to cope with the presence of unfavorable compounds, plants can biotransform xenobiotics, translocate both parent compounds and metabolites, perform compartmentation segregation at cellular or tissue level. Such a scenario also applies mycotoxins, fungal secondary metabolites pre‐eminent role in plant infection. this work, we aimed describe effect interplay between Zea mays (maize) aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) organ To address challenge, used atmospheric pressure scanning microprobe...
5-n-Alkylresorcinols (AR) are bioactive compounds found in the edible parts of many cereals. Here, saturated and unsaturated homologues, including oxidized forms 5-(2'-oxo) AR their plant metabolites, were profiled by ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-ion mobility separation-high-resolution mass spectrometry 18 cultivars einkorn, emmer, spelt, common wheat, tritordeum, cultivated two consecutive years under uniform agronomic conditions. The average content ranged between 672.5 ±...
