Are Pork Extracts Present in My Gummy Bears? Gelatin Speciation by LC-MS/MS
نویسندگان
چکیده
The accidental or fraudulent blending of meat and animal products from different species is highly relevant for consumers with ethical concerns against eating species such as horse or pork in particular the Jewish and Muslim communities. In this work, we present the results from the initial development of an LC-MS/MS method utilizing AB SCIEX TripleTOF 5600 and 4000 QTRAP LC/MS/MS systems for the determination of the origin of gelatin used in food products and also pharmaceutical capsules.

Detection of gelatin adulteration using bio-informatics, proteomics and high-resolution mass spectrometry.
Following the internationalisation of food production and manufacturing, a significant increase of food fraud was discovered, ranging from false label claims to the use of additives and fillers to increase profitability. The accidental or fraudulent mixing of animal products or by-products from different species is an important preoccupation for consumers with health or ethical concerns. Gelati...
متن کاملLC-QTOF-MS identification of porcine-specific peptide in heat treated pork identifies candidate markers for meat species determination.
The purpose of this study was to identify porcine-specific peptide markers from thermally processed meat that could differentiate pork from beef, chevon and chicken meat. In the initial stage, markers from tryptic digested protein of chilled, boiled and autoclaved pork were identified using LC-QTOF-MS. An MRM method was then established for verification. A thorough investigation of LC-QTOF-MS d...
متن کاملGluten Detection and Speciation by Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)
Liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) has been used historically in proteomics research for over 20 years. However, until recently LC-MS/MS has only been routinely used in food testing for small molecule contaminant detection, for example pesticide and veterinary residue detection, and not as a replacement of microbiological food testing methods, specifically allergen analys...
متن کاملRapid detection and subsequent isolation of bioactive constituents of crude plant extracts.
Rapid detection of biologically active natural products plays a strategic role in the phytochemical investigation of crude plant extracts. In order to perform an efficient screening of the extracts, both biological assays and HPLC analysis with various detection methods are used. Combined techniques such as HPLC coupled to UV photodiode array detection (LC/UV) and to mass spectrometry (LC/MS or...
متن کاملAnalysis of 136 pesticides in avocado using a modified QuEChERS method with LC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS.
A simple and high-throughput screening method for the analysis of 136 pesticides in avocado ( Persea americana ) by LC-(+)-ESI-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS is presented. A modified QuEChERS sample preparation method was developed to improve the extraction recovery of highly lipophilic pesticides. Extracts from minced avocados after acetonitrile (MeCN) extraction were directly injected to LC-MS/MS, wherea...
