Abstract
LC-MS-MS is becoming a very important tool for the on-line identification of natural products in crude plant extracts. For an efficient use of this technique in the dereplication of natural products, a careful study of the parameters used to generate informative MS-MS spectra is needed. In this paper, the collision-induced dissociation (CID) MS-MS spectra of ubiquitous C-glycosidic flavonoids have been systematically studied using hybrid quadrupole time-of-flight and ion-trap (IT) mass analysers under various CID energy conditions. Efficient differentiation of flavonoid C-glycoside isomers was possible, based on the comparison of CID-MS-MS spectra of particular C-glycoside unit fragments. Striking differences between 6-C and 8-C flavonoid glycosides were especially observed in the product ion spectra of their 0.2X+ fragments ([M+H-120]+). Some guidelines for the on-line characterisation of C-glycosidic flavonoids by LC-MS-MS or LC-multiple-stage MS are given.

Abstract
Tandem mass spectrometric methods have been evaluated for the characterisation of the type and the differentiation of the interglycosidic linkage of isomeric flavonoid O-diglycosides. Based on the occurrence of internal monosaccharide residue loss and the relative abundances of Y-type ions formed by fragmentation at glycosidic bonds, four pairs of isomeric flavonoid O-diglycosides can be unambiguously differentiated. The different techniques used, i.e. linked scanning at constant B/E without collisional activation and low-energy collision-induced dissociation using methane or helium as collision gas, have been shown to be useful for distinguishing the two most common (1, 2- and 1, 6-) interglycosidic linkages, e.g. flavonoid O-neohesperidosides and O-rutinosides.

Abstract
The present study describes the use of electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry, in combination with collision-induced dissociation (CID) and tandem mass spectrometry, for the structural characterisation of anthocyanidins and their O-glycosides. The high-energy CID spectra of [M-Cl](+) ions of the free aglycones show characteristic fragmentation pathways, which provide useful information about the substitution pattern in the A- and B-rings of each compound. The major fragmentation observed in the high-energy CID spectra of [M-Cl](+) ions of anthocyanins involves loss of the mono- or disaccharide units resulting in ions containing only the aglycone moiety. From the spectral data, the identity of the aglycone can be established as well as the number and the class of monosaccharide units in the O-glycosides.

Abstract
The flavonoid composition of commonly eaten fresh herbs such as dill, oregano and parsley was analysed by combined LC, MS and low-energy collision induced dissociation (CID) MS-MS. Negative atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation (APCI) MS and MS-MS were used to provide molecular mass information and product-ion spectra of the glycosyl compounds. The most prominent fragment was found to arise from the aglycone ion, which provides molecular mass information about the glycosyl substituent and the aglycone. Product-ion spectra of the aglycone verified the identity by comparison with product-ion spectra of authentic standards. Methoxylated flavonoids provide characteristic fragmentation, i.e., loss of *CH3, which add to the usefulness of the method for identifying unknown flavonoids. Negative-mode APCI-MS is thus demonstrated to be a good alternative to the commonly employed positive mode operation.

Abstract
We have designed a novel working strategy to optimize a unique chromatographic method consisting of diode array detection for the analysis of the most representative phenolic compounds from different food sources. The simultaneous inclusion of standard phenolic compounds, phenolic compounds isolated from food sources and representative real extracts as an ultimate test in analysis has allowed to establish, for the first time, a unique liquid gradient to serve as an excellent medium for the investigation of phenolics in samples from different food sources. Under the optimized conditions, 21 commercially available phenolic compounds and 25 commercially unavailable phenolic structures were analyzed in less than 30 min. The chromatographic method was designed as an alternative for the provisional identification of these compounds before their full characterization. The optimized chromatographic method was carefully validated for precision and accuracy. A high reproducibility in the retention time (<2%), peak area and calibration slope (<5%) as well as recoveries higher than 95% were obtained in all cases. Consequently, the currently described method was successfully employed to study the phenolic compounds in the most representative food samples.

Abstract
The low-energy collision-induced dissociation of protonated flavonoid O-diglycosides, i.e., flavonoid O-rutinosides and O-neohesperidosides, containing different aglycone types has been studied. The results indicate that the unusual [M + H - 162]+ ion formed by internal glucose residue loss, which in a previous study was shown to be a rearrangement ion, is strongly dependent upon the aglycone type. For 7-O-diglycosides, the internal glucose loss is very pronounced for aglycones of the flavanone type, but is completely absent for aglycones of the flavone and flavonol types. Internal glucose residue loss was found to correspond to a minor fragmentation pathway for flavonol 3-O-diglycosides. A plausible mechanism is proposed based on proton mobilization from the aglycone to the disaccharidic part of the flavonoid O-diglycosides which is supported by theoretical calculations and model building.

Abstract
Procedures that allow the realization of resonance electron capture (REC) mode on a commercial triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer, after some simple modifications, are described. REC mass spectrometry (MS) and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) experiments were performed and spectra for some compounds were recorded. In particular, the charge-remote fragmentation (CRF) spectra of [M - H](-) ions of docosanoic and docosenoic acids under low-energy collisionally activated dissociation (CAD) conditions were obtained, and showed that there were no significant differences for [M - H](-) ions produced at different resonances (i.e. for [M - H](-) ions with different structures). This observation was explained on the basis of results obtained from deuterium-labeled fatty acids, which showed that different CRF ions (but with the same m/z value in the absence of labels) could be produced by different mechanisms, and all of them were obviously realized under CAD conditions that made spectra practically indistinguishable. The other example, which compared the REC-MS/MS spectrum of [M - H](-) ions and EI-MS/MS spectrum of M(+.) ions of daidzein, demonstrated the potential of the REC-MS/MS technique for more complex structure elucidation.

Abstract
A mass spectrometric method based on the combined use of fast-atom bombardment (FAB), collision-induced dissociation (CID) and linked scanning at constant B/E has been used for the analysis of the fragmentation behavior of protonated 3-methoxyflavones (3-MFs). It is shown that several diagnostic ions such as (1,3)A (+) and (0,2)B (+) ions allow for an unambiguous localization of functions in the A- and B-rings and that the position of an additional methoxy group in the B-ring could be determined by a detailed analysis of the spectral patterns. Isomeric 3-MFs can be differentiated using this methodology. General fragmentation patterns of 3-MFs are discussed and plausible formation mechanisms of relatively abundant fragment ions are proposed.

Abstract
High-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS) was used to study flavonol aglycones and glycosides in berries. For the identification of aglycones, photodiode-array detection (DAD) was also used. The HPLC-ESI-MS technique is highly valuable in the identification of flavonol aglycones and glycosides from berry extracts. This ionization technique provides information on the structure of the aglycones and glycosides without time-consuming pre-purification or derivatization steps. Quercetin aglycone was identified with both ESI-MS and DAD in all of the berries studied. Myricetin aglycone was identified with both techniques in three berries. Hexose, deoxyhexose-hexose and pentose derivatives of quercetin were the most abundant flavonol glycosides identified. Two glycosides of myricetin and one glycoside of kaempferol were identified in blackcurrant. To confirm the data obtained using the HPLC-ESI-MS procedure, fractions of the glycosides from four berries were separated, hydrolyzed, silylated and the sugars were analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Abstract
Four aglycons (tomatidine, demissidine, solanidine, and solasodine) and three glycoalkaloids (α-tomatine, α-chaconine, and α-solanine) have been analyzed by positive ion liquid secondary ion high-energy and low-energy collision-induced dissociation (CID) tandem mass Spectrometry, performed on a four-sector (EBEB) and a hybrid (EBQQ) instrument, respectively. Both high- and low-energy collision-induced dissociation mass spectra of [M+H](+) ions of these compounds provided structural information that aided the characterization of the different aglycons and of the carbohydrate sequence and linkage sites in the glycoalkaloids. Low-energy CID favors charge-driven fragmentation of the aglycon rings, whilst high-energy CID spectra are more complex and contain additional ions that appear to result from charge-remote fragmentations, multiple cleavages, or complex charge-driven rearrangements. With respect to the structural characterization of the carbohydrate part, low-energy CID fragmentations of sugar residues in the glycoalkaloids generate Y n (+) ions and some low intensity Z n (+) ions; the high-energy spectra also exhibit strong (1,5)X n (+) ions, formed by multiple cleavage of the sugar ring, and significant Z n (+) ions.
