Core-shell structured magnetic covalent organic framework (Fe 3 O 4 @COF) nanospheres were rapidly synthesized at room temperature using the monodisperse Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles (NPs) as magnetic core and benzene-1,3,5-tricarbaldehyde (BTA) and 3,3′-dihydroxybenzidine (DHBD) as two building blocks (denoted as Fe 3 O 4 @BTA-DHBD), respectively. They can serve as a mass spectrometry probe for rapid and high-throughput screening of bisphenols (BPs) from pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) by surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (SELDI-TOF-MS). The Fe 3 O 4 @BTA-DHBD nanospheres showed some superior features involving average pore size distribution (2.82 nm), high magnetization values (42.5 emu g −1 ), high specific surface area (82.96 m 2 g −1 ), and good chemical/thermal stability. It was used as both ideal adsorbent for enrichment of BPs and new substrate to assist ionization in SELDI-TOF-MS. The method exhibited good linearity in the range 0.05–4000 ng mL −1 with correlation coefficients ( r ) higher than 0.9920. Low limits of detection (LODs) (500 pg mL −1 for bisphenol A (BPA), 2 pg mL −1 for bisphenol B (BPB), 28 pg mL −1 for bisphenol C (BPC), 60 pg mL −1 for bisphenol F (BPF), 33 pg mL −1 for bisphenol AF (BPAF), 200 pg mL −1 for bisphenol BP (BPBP), 10 pg mL −1 for bisphenol S (BPS), 90 pg mL −1 for tetrabromobisphenol A (BPA(Br) 4 ), and 380 pg mL −1 for tetrabromobisphenol S (BPS(Br) 4 )) and good recoveries (80.6–115%) of BPs in PPCPs were achieved. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) of spot-to-spot ( n = 10) and sample-to-sample ( n = 5) were in the ranges 5–11% and 5–12%, respectively. The dual-function platform was successfully applied to the quantitative determination of BPs in PPCPs. It not only expanded the scope of the application of COFs but also provided an alternative strategy for the determination of hazardous compounds in PPCPs.
Schematic representation of the synthesis of core-shell structured magnetic covalent organic framework nanospheres (Fe 3 O 4 @COFs) and its application in the analysis of bisphenols by using Fe 3 O 4 @BTA-DHBD nanospheres as a MS probe based on surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry.

Amentoflavone, a biflavonoid occurring in many edible supplements, possesses some bioactivities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammation, antitumor, and neuroprotective activities. In the present study, an ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS) method, combined with a three-step analytical strategy, was employed to identify metabolites in vivo (rat plasma, bile, urine, and feces) and in vitro (rat liver microsomes and rat intestine microsomes). A total of 39 metabolites in rats and nine metabolites in rat microsomes were elucidated by UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS analysis, and the chemical structure of some isomers was further assigned by calculated Clog P values. Oxidation, internal hydrolysis, hydrogenation, methylation, sulfation, glucuronidation, glucosylation, O-aminomethylation, and degradation were the major metabolic pathways of amentoflavone. Noteworthy, O-aminomethylation and glucosylation could be considered as unique metabolic pathways of amentoflavone. This was the first report on metabolite identification of amentoflavone in vivo and in vitro, and the metabolic findings offer novel and valuable evidence for an in-depth understanding of the safety and efficacy of amentoflavone.

A rapid and efficient method for the identification of antioxidants in the traditional Chinese medicine Polygalae Radix (PR) by HPLC–ESI-Q-TOF-MS/MS is described. The method is based on the hypothesis that upon reaction of antioxidants with 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), the peak areas of compounds with potential antioxidant activities in the HPLC chromatogram will be significantly reduced in comparison to the untreated sample. The identity confirmation was achieved by Q-TOF-MS/MS technique. With this method, eight components were proposed possessing potent antioxidant activity. They were identified as sibiricose A5, sibiricose A6, sucrose monoester, polygalaxanthone III, tenuifoliside B, 3',6-disinapoylsucrose (DISS), sucrose diester , tenuifoliside C, respectively. DISS was proposed to be the most potent one. The antioxidant activity of DISS was evaluated by DPPH, ABTS radical scavenging assay and ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay in vitro. Vitamin C (Vc) was used as positive control substance. DISS showed moderate DPPH (DISS's IC 50 value was 1024.17 μg/mL, Vc's was 294.68 μg/mL) and ABTS (IC 50 324.13 μg/mL, Vc's was 117.50 μg/mL) free radical scavenging capacity and ferric-reducing antioxidant power. DISS can be used as a new source of natural antioxidant in foods and cosmetics.

Danggui–Jianzhong decoction (DGJZ) is a famous classical traditional Chinese medicine formula, which ingredients are complex and the quality is difficult to control. Our study aimed to identify the overall chemical profile of DGJZ qualitatively by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS) and UPLC. A total of 77 components, including terpenoids, flavonoids, phenolic acids, gingerols and other components, were firstly detected and characterized by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS and 18 peaks marked after analyzing the UPLC fingerprint. Finally, paeoniflorin, liquiritin, ferulic acid, cinnamic acid, glycyrrhizic acid and 6-gingerol were quantified, which was validated in terms of linearity, precision, accuracy, repeatability and recovery. Taken together, the chemical constitutes of DGJZ were systematically identified and a reliable quantitative method coupled with fingerprint analysis was successfully employed for evaluating the holistic quality, which will provide a robust foundation for the quality control of DGJZ.

The effect of individually mixing Lactobacillus paracasei C5 and Lactobacillus pentosus D1 with yeast as starter cultures on bread flavor was investigated via electronic-nose, electronic-tongue, and GC × GC-ToF-MS methods The electronic-nose results showed that the bread smell could be completely distinguished. Electronic-tongue analysis revealed that the taste of mixed-fermented bread was positively correlated with sourness, sweetness, saltiness, and umami, while the taste of yeast-fermented bread was positively correlated with bitterness and astringency. GC × GC-TOF-MS was used to further detect volatile organic compounds, from which 15 ( L. paracasei bread) and 18 ( L. pentosus bread) major contributing aroma compounds were screened (ROAV ≥1 and VIP >1). Additionally, Lactobacillus was found to be positively correlated with 35 flavor substances and positively regulated the aroma profile of the bread, especially sweet-caramel, coffee-like, and roasted aromas. In conclusion, LAB involved in fermentation can improve the flavor of bread.

Poliumoside is representative of phenylethanoid glycosides, which are widely found in many plants. Poliumoside is also regarded as the main active component of Callicarpa kwangtungensis Chun (CK), though its oral bioavailability in rat is extremely low (0.69%) and its in vivo and in vitro metabolism has not yet been systematically investigated. In the present study, an ultra performance liquid chromatography/quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC/Q-TOF-MS) method was employed to identify the metabolites and investigate the metabolic pathways of poliumoside in rat after oral administration 1.5 g·kg –1 of poliumoside. As a result, a total of 34 metabolites (30 from urine, 17 from plasma, and 4 from bile) and 9 possible metabolic pathways (rearrangment, reduction, hydration, hydrolyzation, dehydration, methylation, hydroxylation, acetylation, and sulfation) were proposed in vivo . The main metabolite, acteoside, was quantified after incubated with rat intestinal bacteria in vitro . In conclusion, the present study systematically explored the metabolites of poliumoside in vivo and in vitro , proposing metabolic pathways that may be significant for further metabolic studies of poliumoside.

The present study aimed to investigate the effects of steamed notoginseng single-flavored medicine, herb pairs, compound medicine on anemia rats induced by N-acetyl phenyl hydrazine (APH) to explore the underlying hematinic regulation mechanisms. Rats were randomly divided into seven groups: control group (CG); model group (MG); positive control group (PCG); steamed notoginseng group (SNG); ginseng group (GG); herbal pair group (HPG) and compound prescription group (CPG). Day 12 of the experiment, the blood routine examination of the rats was measured. At the same time, the rats' plasma and urine samples were collected. An Ultra-performance Liquid Chromatography-Quadrupole-Time-of-Flight / Mass Spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF/MS) with unsupervised principal component analysis (PCA) and supervised partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) combined analytical method was established for metabolomics study of steamed notoginseng . Compared with the CG, red blood cell (RBC) and hemoglobin (Hb) levels in the MG were significantly lower (P < 0.01). The results of blood routine examination show that the model of the rats with blood deficiency syndrome have successfully modelled. Compared with the MG, steamed notoginseng can significantly increase the RBC level of rats (P < 0.01), indicating that steamed notoginseng has the blood tonic effect. The related indicators of each administration group showed a good trend of returning to normal. 44 potential biomarkers for hemolytic anemia were screened from plasma and urine samples. Compared with the CG, there were down-regulation seven biomarkers in plasma of the MG, such as retinol, l -valine and arachidonic acid, and 14 biomarkers up-regulated such as protoporphyrin IX and nicotinamide; 28 metabolites such as proline, histidine, phenylalanine, l -arginine and l -tyrosine were up-regulated in urine of the MG. The metabolic level of biomarkers could be changed to a normal state after the rats were given steamed notoginseng , herb pairs, and compound prescriptions. It is presumed that steamed notoginseng plays a role in blood enriching through 12 metabolic pathways, including valine, leucine and isoleucine biosynthesis, phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis, retinol metabolism and so on.

Escherichia colicontamination in poultry is a significant concern due to its potential to cause foodborne illness. The presence of extraintestinal pathogenicE. coli(ExPEC) strains in chicken carcasses can lead to severe human infections. This study investigates the prevalence, virulence, and antibiotic resistance ofE. coliisolates from chicken carcasses processed in both wet market and industrial environments, with a focus on the detection capabilities of MALDI-TOF MS. A total of 119E. coliisolates were obtained. Only a small proportion (5/119) carried enteropathogenic virulence genes. In contrast, 71.42% (85/119) of the isolates harbored multiple extraintestinal virulence genes. Among these,iucCandsitA, which are associated with systemic infections, were present in 68.24% (58/85) and 43.53% (37/85) of the isolates, respectively. Furthermore, 47.06% (56/119) of the isolates carrying at least two extraintestinal virulence genes were classified as ExPEC. Additionally, 94.6% (54/56) of ExPEC isolates were multidrug resistant (MDR), showing resistance to over three antibiotic classes, raising concerns about the spread of antibiotic resistance. MALDI-TOF MS profiling revealed significant heterogeneity among the ExPEC isolates, with no distinct clustering patterns based on processing environment or sampling site. These findings underscore the public health risks posed by ExPEC in poultry and emphasize the need for improved surveillance, stringent hygiene practices, and responsible antibiotic use in poultry production.

Toxicodendron vernicifluum bark has been used for many years as a component in foods and as a traditional herbal medication. Unfortunately, the presence of urushiols, which induce allergies, limits its application. This study used a vortex-blending matrix solid-phase dispersion microextraction technique to extract urushiols from Toxicodendron vernicifluum bark. HPLC was used to evaluate the amounts of the extracted urushiols (15:0, 15:1, 15:2, and 15:3). The modified magnetic adsorbent was prepared through an in situ coprecipitation method and characterized using a variety of techniques. The optimized extraction conditions are as follows: using magnetic Zeolite Socony Mobil-Five as an adsorbent, a 1:2 sample/adsorbent ratio, 2.5 min of vortex-blending time, 4 mL of 0.1% (V/V) trifluoroacetic acid-methanol as the elution solvent and 8 min of ultrasound time. There was good linearity and high repeatability in the method. Furthermore, the limits of detection for the urushiols ranged from 0.20 to 0.50 μg/mL. Under the optimized conditions, 50 compounds were identified by ultra high performance liquid chromatography and quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. These compounds included 8 phenolic acids, 9 monomeric urushiols, 11 urushiol dimers, 10 other components, and 11 flavonoids. The suggested approach, which has the advantages of few stages and high extraction efficiency over existing extraction procedures, is a potentially useful method for obtaining and evaluating urushiols in raw materials or extracts.

To compare the volatile compounds of Chinese black truffle and white truffle from Yunnan province, this study presents the application of a direct solvent extraction/solvent-assisted flavor evaporation (DSE-SAFE) coupled with a comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC × GC) high resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HR-TOF/MS) and an electronic nose. Both of the analytical methods could distinguish the aroma profile of the two samples. In terms of the overall profile of truffle samples in this research, more kinds of acids were detected via the method of DSE-SAFE. Besides, compounds identified in black truffle (BT), but not in white truffle (WT), orvice versa, and those detected in both samples at different levels were considered to play an important role in differentiating the two samples. According to the analysis of electronic nose, the two samples could be separated, as well.Keywords:GC × GC/HR-TOF/MS;electronic nose;DSE-SAFE;Chinese truffles

Royal jelly (RJ) is a highly perishable food during storage. However, the quality of RJ is hard to evaluate due to its complex and variable compositions. Nanoliter electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (nano-ESI-MS) is an emerging direct mass spectrometry method suitable for rapid analysis of complex food components and food quality. In this study, we investigated the freshness and metabolite changes of RJ stored at 4 °C and 25 °C using nano-ESI-MS and verified the results with UPLC-Q/TOF-MS. The nano-ESI-MS identified 20 compounds and quantified 9 metabolites with high stability and reproducibility. Multivariate analysis of the nano-ESI-MS data distinguished RJ of different freshness and suggested 45–60 and 7 days as the freshness threshold of RJ stored at 4 °C and 25 °C, respectively. The multivariate analysis of UPLC-Q/TOF-MS data output similar results to that of nano-ESI-MS. The relative abundance changes of metabolites identified by UPLC-Q/TOF-MS were approximately consistent with the quantification results of nano-ESI-MS, indicating the reliability of nano-ESI-MS in monitoring RJ freshness. This study proved the potential of nano-ESI-MS as a rapid method for monitoring RJ freshness and thus promoted the quality control of RJ during production.

Reducing the time required for the detection of bacteria in blood samples is a critical area of investigation in the field of clinical diagnosis. Positive blood culture samples often require a plate culture stage due to the interference of blood cells and proteins, which can result in significant delays before the isolation of single colonies suitable for matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) analysis. In this study, we developed a non-specific enrichment strategy based on SiO2-encapsulated Fe3O4 nanoparticles combined with MALDI-TOF MS for direct identification of bacteria from aqueous environments or positive blood culture samples. Three distinct types of Fe3O4@SiO2 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) with unique surface morphologies were developed: spherical MNPs with smooth surfaces (Fe3O4@SN), mesoporous silica coated MNPs (Fe3O4@MSN), and MNPs exhibiting a viral spiked structure (Fe3O4@VSN). These MNPs exhibited excellent binding affinity towards both Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae in PBS and artificial saliva solutions. Furthermore, the strategy of using Fe3O4@VSN, which involves non-specific interactions between bacterial cells and the virus-like surface, resulted in a dramatic reduction in the minimum detectable concentrations of target pathogens by up to 1000-fold compared to conventional methods. Our results demonstrate that the use of Fe3O4@VSN has the potential to significantly reduce the processing time required after blood culture and may be useful for enrichment and identification of microorganisms in complex clinical samples.
