Flavour- important compounds are accumulated in glapes in two different fotms, i.e. as free volatile compounds and as non-volatile polyols or glycosidically bound metabolites. For the study of these compounds a technique named the flavour precursor analysis approach has been developed. The progress made in grape juice and wine compositional analysis through application of this approach has been reviewed and the limitations of the techniques involved are discussed. The introduction of fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry (FAB-MS) together with the improved mass ranges of magnetic sector and quadrupole instruments has opened new horizons for the analysis of glycoconjugates and other polar and non-volatile compounds of biological importance. A protocol which combines partition liquid chromatography (e.g. droplet counter curent chromatography (DCCC) and high performance liquid chromatogtaphy (HPLC)) and soft ionization mass spectrometry (i.e. FAB-MS) has been developed for the direct analysis of wine and juice glycoconjugates without prior derivatization of these compounds. This protocol offers an alternative to overcome the limitations of the flavour precursor analysis approach in the investigation of polar, non-volatile and thermally labile material. Application of the protocol to pre-fractionated wine glycosidic mixtures of different degtees of polarity demonsüated that the protocol can be successfully employed as a technique to screen for flavour precursors and other glycosidically bound secondary metabolites present in wine. In the relatively non-polar glycosidic fraction (i.e. late-eluting DCCC fractions L90-220), the p-D-glucopyranosides of ethyl indole lactate, uroterpenol and cis-pyran linalool oxide have been identified. The presence in the same glycosidic fraction of hexopyranosides of 3-hydroxy-5,6-epoxymegastigm-Zine-9-one and of a mixture of diastereoisomeric 3,4- dihydroxy-7,8-dihydro-B-ionone, was observed. As a consequence of these investigations, a new class of wine glucopyranosides with phenylpropanoids and lignans as aglycones has been recognized in the medium polarity v1 fractions (i.e. early-eluting DCCC fractions 90-100). 2-Methoxy-4-(ohydroxypropyl)- phenoxypropan-3-ol, isolariciresinol and søco-isolariciresinol B-D-glucopyranosides have been isolated from this fraction and characterized by spectroscopic and spectrometric techniques. This class of compound, although without an apparent flavour precursor role, it does contain compounds which have been suggested as precursors in the formation of biologic ally active compounds, e. g. seco-isolariciresinol- p-D - glucopyranos ide. In this same polarity group of fractions, a new class of flavour precursor material has been recognized. This class comprises a mixture of monoterpene B-D-apiosyl-P-D- glucopyranosides. These compounds include (E)-2,6-dimethylocta-2,7-diene- 1,6-diol, (E,E)-2,6-dimethylocta-2,6-diene-1,8-diol and p-menth-1-ene-7,8-diol apiosylglucosides which have been isolated and subsequently identified by specúometric and specroscopic techniques. A new arabinoglucoside of (E)-3,7-dimethylocta-2-ene-L,7-diol together with two other known flavour precursors (i.e benzyl alcohol-p-D-rutinoside and vomifoliol arabinoglucoside), were also identified in this fraction. Investigation of the most polar glycosidic constituents of wine (i.e. very early-eluting DCCC fractions 60-75), has shown that the bulk of the material was made up of monoglucosidic derivatives of very polar aglycones such as the 4'-O-B-D-glucopyranoside of the neolignan 2,3-dihydro-7-hydroxy-2-(4'-hydroxy-3'-methoxybenzyl)-3- hydroxymethyl-S-benzofuranpropanol (i.e.

However, analytical chemistry, a subdiscipline of chemistry, is an ancient science and its metrological tools, basic applications, and analytical processes can be dated back to early recorded history [1]. In chronological spans covering ancient times, the middle ages, the era of the nineteenth century, and the three chemical revolutionary periods, analytical chemistry has successfully evolved from the verge of the nineteenth century to modern and contemporary times, characterized by its versatile traits and unprecedented challenges in the twenty-first century. Historically, analytical chemistry can be termed as the mother of chemistry, as the nature and the composition of materials are always needed to be iden- tified first for specific utilizations subsequently; therefore, the development of analytical chemistry has always been ahead of general chemistry [2]. During pre-Hellenistic times when chemistry did not exist as a science, various ana- lytical processes, for example, qualitative touchstone method and quantitative fire-assay or cupellation scheme have been in existence as routine quality control measures for the purpose of noble goods authentication and anti-counterfeiting practices. Because of the unavailability of archeological clues for origin tracing, the chemical balance and the weights, as stated in the earliest documents ever found, was supposed to have been used only by the Gods [3].

FAB matrices Introduction A mass spectrometer works by using magnetic and electric fields to exert forces on charged par- ticles (ions) in a vacuum. Therefore, a compound must be charged or ionized to be analyzed by a mass spectrometer. Furthermore, the ions must be introduced in the gas phase into the vacuum system of the mass spectrometer. This is easily done for gaseous or heat-volatile samples. How- ever, many (thermally labile) analytes decompose upon heating. These kinds of samples require either desorption or desolvation methods if they are to be analyzed by mass spectrometry. Al- though ionization and desorption/desolvation are usually separate processes, the term "ionization method" is commonly used to refer to both ionization and desorption (or desolvation) methods. The choice of ionization method depends on the nature of the sample and the type of information required from the analysis. So-called 'soft ionization' methods such as field desorption and elec- trospray ionization tend to produce mass spectra with little or no fragment-ion content. Gas-Phase Ionization These methods rely upon ionizing gas-phase samples. The samples are usually introduced through a heated batch inlet, heated direct insertion probe, or a gas chromatograph.

Abstract Mass Spectrometry- It is an analytical technique that generates charged particles in the form of ions from the substance to be analysed to measure its mass to charge ratio. Ion Source plays an important role for generation of charged ions which further travels through analyser and ends at detector. The production of intact molecular ions can be achieved under adequate experimental conditions, with minimal fragmentation known as soft ionization method. Neutral species either loss or gain of charge to generates ions. This paper covers an information about various type of mass ion Source (Electron impact, Chemical ionization and field ionization, Desorption-Field desorption, Electro spray ionization, matrix assisted desorption ionization, Plasma desorption) are in use for mass spectroscopy.

  • Fast Atom Bombardment and Electron Impact Mass Spectrometry Studies of Some Aryltin Compounds and Ferrocenes
    Fast Atom Bombardment and Electron Impact Mass Spectrometry Studies of Some Aryltin Compounds and Ferrocenes Yongchong Luo, B.Sc. (Hons.) A Thesis submitted to the Department of Chemistry in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science August 1993 Brock University St. Catharines, Ontario © Yongchong Luo .I. To my parents for their affection, encouragement and endurance during those hard times! .11. ABSTRACT Both El MS and FAB MS behavior of two groups of compounds, aryltin and ferrocene compounds, have been studied. For the aryltin compounds, the effect of substituent group position, substituent group type and ligand type on the El spectra have been explored in the El MS studies. The fragmentation mechanism has been investigated under El with linked scans, such as fragment ion scans(BJE), parent ion scans(B2JE) and constant neutral radical loss scans(B2(1-E)JE2). In the FAB MS studies, matrix optimization experiments have been carried out. The positive ion FAB MS studies focused on the effect of substituent group position, substituent group type and ligand type on the spectra. The fragmentation mechanisms of all the samples under positive ion FAB have been studied by means of the linked scans. The CA positive ion FAB fragmentation studies were also carried out for a typical sample. Negative ion FAB experiments of all the compounds have been done. And finally, the comparison of the El MS and FAB MS has been made. For ferrocenes, the studies concentrated on the fragmentation mechanism of each compound under El with linked scan techniques in the first field-free region and the applicability of positive/negative ion FAB MS to this group of compounds.

The Guide arose from discussions held at the VAM Mass Spectrometry Working Group and was prepared by LGC in collaboration with the members. In addition to major contributions by the authors, other members of the Working Group provided suggestions and comments. The idea for this work came about during preparation of an earlier guidance document* concerning accurate mass (“AccMass”) applications of mass spectrometry. It became clear that users of mass spectrometry instrumentation or services, including both specialists and research chemists, frequently have little understanding of the instrumentation or the meaning of the spectra they produce. Often, they will obtain or request an accurate mass determination for confirmation of identity on the basis of spectra which are meaningless or which could not possibly have originated from the target molecule. Discussion of this problem highlighted the changes which have taken place in teaching chemistry and analytical science and the rapid expansion in the application of mass spectrometry. The latter has been fuelled by a number of factors, including advances in the automation and performance of instrumentation and recent rapid growth in the use of mass spectrometry for the biosciences.

Depending on the phase and nature of the sample and the analytes, different ionization sources will be more or less optimal for producing ions. Analyte molecules are typically neutral and must be ionized. This can be accomplished in many ways. Analytes can be subjected to high-energy sources, such as electron bombardment, a laser, or an electrical discharge. Lower energy, or “softer,” ionization sources also exist, such as those encountered in atmospheric pressure ionization. We describe common ionization sources in the sections below. Ions are either created or rapidly transferred into a high-vacuum (low-pressure; 10-4 – 10-7 Torr) environment and can be separated based on their mass-to-charge (m/z) ratio through the application of electric and magnetic fields, in a variety of configurations. Different mass analyzers have different advantages, disadvantages, costs, and applications. Once the ions are separated, they are made to impinge on a detector, which converts the ion into an electrical signal that can be read by a data system. A variety of detectors exist, but some, such as the electron multiplier, are more common than others.
