Abstract

The urge for faster and highly-efficient analytical methods is the driveforce in food research. Metabolomics is a versatile platform which integrates both statistical and experimental data, providing highly-reliable analytical results. Along with the modern mass spectrometric techniques, there is a very prominent scenario for the development of new and improved approaches. In this project, samples of various functional food products, such as olive oil, peanuts and chocolate will be directly analyzed through conventional mass spectrometry (MS) and mass spectrometry imaging (MSI), with little sample preparation. Chemical characterization and adulteration processes will be monitored within this scope. Ionization sources, such as matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) and electrospray ionization (ESI) will be largely explored in this context. Structural elucidations will be performed with the assistance of high-resolution mass spectrometry (ESI-Orbitrap). Chemical markers can be previously elected for a targeted analysis or identified after the analytical process, as in metabolic fingerprinting. (AU)
