Abstract
Capsaicinoids, whose basic chemical structure is the vanilla amide of n-nonanoic acid, are responsible for chili pepper fruits' spicy flavor (pungency) and multiple pharmacological actions. Capsaicinoids are widely used to produce intense flavor food additives due to their sensory attributes of pungency, aroma, and color. To ensure strict quality control for capsaicinoids and maximize their positive effects, valid and sensitive pretreatment and determination methods are urgently needed. Consequently, this review provides a comprehensive summary of capsaicinoids' preparation and analytical technologies in food samples. Pretreatment techniques mainly include liquid-liquid extraction, solid-phase extraction, solid-phase microextraction, and dispersive solid-phase microextraction, among others. Detection methods include liquid chromatography coupled with different detectors, gas chromatography, electrochemical sensor methods, capillary electrophoresis, etc. Furthermore, the advantages and disadvantages of various pretreatment and analytical methods are compared and discussed. Thus, the present paper has attempted to shed light on novel and traditionalpretreatment methods and determination approaches and provided proper comments about their new developments and applications.

Determination of trace chelating carboxylic acids in rice by green extraction combined with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis and its application in the evaluation of old and new rice. RAPID COMMUNICATIONS IN MASS SPECTROMETRY : RCM 2024; 38:e9738. [PMID: 38572671 DOI: 10.1002/rcm.9738] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2024] [Revised: 03/02/2024] [Accepted: 03/03/2024] [Indexed: 04/05/2024]
Abstract
RATIONALE Accurate identification of old rice samples from new ones benefits their market circulation and consumers. However, the current detection methods are still not satisfactory because of their insufficient accuracy or (and) time-consuming process. METHODS Chelating carboxylic acids (CCAs) were selectively extracted from rice, by stirring with chelating resin and a dilute Na2CO3 solution. The green analytical chemistry guidelines for sample preparation were investigated by using the green chemistry calculator AGREE prep. The extractant was determined by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS), and statistical analysis of the analytical data was carried out to evaluate the significance of the difference by ChiPlot. RESULTS The limit of quantitation for the CCAs is in the range of 1 to 50 ng/mL, with a reasonable reproducibility. The CCAs in 23 rice samples were determined within a wide concentration range from 0.03 to 1174 μg/g. Intriguingly, the content of citric acid, malonic acid, α-ketoglutaric acid and cis-aconite acid in new rice was each found to be distinctively higher than that in old rice by several times. Even mixtures of old and new rice were found to show much difference in the concentration of citric acid and malic acid. CONCLUSION A green analytical method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of CCAs by LC/MS analysis, and the identification of old rice samples from new ones was easily carried out according to their CCA content for the first time. The results indicated that the described method has powerful potential for the accurate identification of old rice samples from new ones.

Abstract
The thermal desorption (TD) technique is widely employed in modern mass spectrometry to facilitate the detection of non-volatile analytes. In this study, we developed a compact TD device based on a small resistance wire and coupled it with a self-aspirating corona discharge ionization (CDI) source to conduct direct MS analysis of various liquid and solid samples. Due to its small size and low heat capacity, the temperature of the TD module can be flexibly and rapidly modulated by controlling the power sequence. Multiple heating modes, including pulse heating (PH), isothermal heating, and step heating (SH), are realized and characterized, and then applied for the detection of different real samples. In particular, the PH mode is suitable for the simultaneous detection of multiple components in samples with relatively simple matrices, while the SH mode is capable of component separation. In addition, the sensitivity and quantitative capability of the TD-CDI system for DEP solutions were tested, showing acceptable stability with a relative standard deviation of about 6.7% and a detection limit of 0.088 ng. Overall, the developed TD-CDI system provides a simple, convenient, and versatile tool for direct mass spectrometry analysis of real samples.

Abstract
Ambient ionization mass spectrometry (AIMS) has been developing explosively since its first debut. The ionization process was hence able to be achieved under atmospheric pressure, facilitating on-site field analysis in a variety of areas, such as clinical diagnosis, metabolic phenotyping, and surface analysis. As part of the ambitious goal of making MS a general device that can be used in everyday life, lots of efforts have been paid to miniaturize the ionization source. This review discusses avant-garde sources that could be entirely hand-held without any accessories. The structure and applications of the devices are described in detail as well. They could be expediently used in real-time and on-site analysis, presenting a great future potential for the routinizing of MS.

Abstract
Capsaicin is the main food active component in Capsicum that has gained considerable attention due to its broad biological activities, including antioxidation, anti-inflammation, anti-tumor, weight regulation, cardiac protection, anti-calculi, and diurnal-circadian regulation. The potent biological effects of capsaicin are intimately related to metabolic pathways such as lipid metabolism, energy metabolism, and antioxidant stress. Mass spectrometry (MS) has emerged as an effective tool for deciphering the mechanisms underlying capsaicin metabolism and its biological impacts. However, it remains challenging to accurately identify and quantify capsaicin and its self-metabolites in complex food and biological samples, and to integrate multi-omics data generated from MS. In this work, we summarized recent advances in the detection of capsaicin and its self-metabolites using MS and discussed the relevant MS-based studies of metabolic pathways. Furthermore, we discussed current issues and future directions in this field. In-depth studies of capsaicin metabolism and its physiological functions based on MS is anticipated to yield new insights and methods for preventing and treating a wide range of diseases.

Abstract
Due to the complicacy of asphalt fumes, the analytical methods for investigating volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are very limited. In this study, a direct and real-time analysis method based on carbon fiber ionization mass spectrometry (CFI-MS), an ambient mass spectrometric technique, was established and successfully applied in the analysis of asphalt VOCs. The asphalt VOCs can be directly detected in the open atmosphere without the collection step of asphalt fumes, and the mass spectra of one asphalt sample can be obtained in a few seconds in both positive and negative ion modes. By investigating the mass spectral changes of asphalt fumes at different heating temperatures ranging from 50 to 200 °C, the temperature factor of asphalt fume emission was demonstrated in this work. The research results demonstrate that the complexity of asphalt fumes is positively related to the applied temperature. Moreover, the VOCs of saturates, aromatics, resins, and asphaltenes fractions were also analyzed by the direct analysis method. The result shows that aromatics contribute most to the emission of VOCs. In addition, the obtained mass spectra combined with the principal component analysis method show the great potential to quickly screen VOC inhibitors of asphalt materials.

Abstract
The diagnosis of bladder cancer (BC) is currently based on cystoscopy, which is invasive and expensive. Here, we describe a noninvasive profiling method for carbonyl metabolic fingerprints in BC, which is based on a desorption, separation, and ionization mass spectrometry (DSI-MS) platform with N,N-dimethylethylenediamine (DMED) as a differential labeling reagent. The DSI-MS platform avoids the interferences from intra- and/or intersamples. Additionally, the DMED derivatization increases detection sensitivity and distinguishes carboxyl, aldehyde, and ketone groups in untreated urine samples. Carbonyl metabolic fingerprints of urine from 41 BC patients and 41 controls were portrayed and 9 potential biomarkers were identified. The mechanisms of the regulations of these biomarkers have been tentatively discussed. A logistic regression (LR) machine learning algorithm was applied to discriminate BC from controls, and an accuracy of 85% was achieved. We believe that the method proposed here may pave the way toward the point-of-care diagnosis of BC in a patient-friendly manner.

Abstract
A method named imprint paper spray ionization mass spectrometry (imprint-PSI-MS) has been developed and employed for the determination of pungency of peppers. A pepper fruit was cut into a triangular shape, deposited onto a triangular paper, and compressed by a homemade press tool aiming to imprint and transfer the pepper constituents onto the paper surface. Subsequently, the triangular paper was submitted to conventional PSI-MS analysis. Twelve peppers were analyzed, ranging from highly pungent to lowly pungent taste. Pepper pungency values from the Scoville scale (in Scoville heat units, SHU) were compared with the ion intensities of the capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin compounds obtained from the imprint-PSI-MS analysis, and a correlation coefficient of 0.97 was achieved. In addition, the ion intensities of a sugar compound were monitored in all peppers, and the results were compared with the Scoville scale. Low sugar ion intensities were detected in pungent peppers, while high ion intensities were achieved in low-pungent peppers, suggesting that the pepper pungency may be determined by inversely relating pungency to sugar contents. This work demonstrates the utility of the imprint-PSI-MS method to perform rapid qualitative analyses of peppers and estimate the pungency by monitoring the pepper metabolites. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
Currently in single-cell mass spectrometry, the analysis of low-abundance cell metabolites such as fatty alcohols and sterols remains a challenge. In most research studies, single-cell samples are analyzed directly after sampling. However, this workflow may exclude many effective sample pretreatment methods such as derivatization for the improvement of detection sensitivity for specific cell metabolites in a single-cell sample. Metabolites in low abundance in a cell may not be detected. Herein on-probe derivatization coupled with noncontact nanocarbon fiber ionization is proposed for sensitive fatty alcohol and sterol metabolite analysis at the single-cell level. Fatty alcohol and sterol metabolites were rapidly quaternized by the single-cell on-probe derivatization method. The reaction products were directly ionized with no postreaction processing. Furthermore, a new ionization source for noncontact nanocarbon fiber ionization was developed to show good compatibility with dichloromethane, a low-polarity solvent used in on-probe derivatization. The quaternized fatty alcohols and sterols exhibited evidently enhanced ionization efficiency in mass spectra. In applications of the developed method, seven kinds of even-numbered-carbon fatty alcohols (C12-C22) and five kinds of sterols were detected in single L-02 and HepG2 cells. Then the L-02 and HepG2 cells were readily discriminated through principal component analysis. Additionally, a rough quantitative analysis of the detected fatty alcohols and sterols in single cells was performed. The mass intensities of fatty alcohols show a significant difference between L-02 and HepG2 cells while those of sterols remain stable.

Abstract
A methodology is presented for the determination of four pyrethroid (PYR) preservatives in wooden food contact materials (FCMs) using direct analysis in real time (DART) coupled with quadrupole-Orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry (Q-Orbitrap HRMS). The sampling mode and critical parameters of the DART-Q-Orbitrap HRMS protocol were systematically investigated. Good linearity was achieved for the four analytes with correlation coefficients all greater than 0.99. The limits of detection (LODs) and limits of quantitation (LOQs) of the method were in the range of 0.04-0.20 mg kg-1 and 0.10-0.50 mg kg-1, respectively. The mean recoveries ranged from 72.1% to 82.7% with relative standard deviations (RSDs) from 5.2% to 11.8% at three spiked levels. The developed method was proved to be suitable for rapid screening of PYRs in complex wooden FCM samples to ensure product safety and consumer health.
