Liquid chromatography coupled with a photodiode array detector, electrospray ionization, collision-induced dissociation, and tandem mass spectrometry (LC-DAD/ESI-CID-tandem MS) on a triple quadrupole has been used to detect and characterize CGAs in green coffee beans [8,9]. Fragmentation in the quadrupole MS stages is different from that in the ion-trap instrument.

For the last several years, mass spectrometry with atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) and electrospray ionization (ESI) have determined the trends in the analysis of dyes. Since 1987, various variants of ESI have been used in which droplet formation was assisted by compressed air,[1,2] temperature (e.g. Turbo Ion Spray ) or ultrasound, and they were able to handle flow rates up to 1 2 ml min This made a combination of analytical RPLC and ESI easily and widely used. The reason why it often was (and is) used instead of a traditional UV-Vis detector is the better sensitivity and selectivity of MS in comparison with spectrophotometric detection. Apart from these advantages, MS offers easily interpretable structural information. However, various... 

Even if relatively new, HF FIFFF has been used to separate supramicrometer particles, proteins, water-soluble polymers, and synthetic organic-soluble polymers. Particle separation in HF FIFFF has recently been improved, reaching the level of efficiency normally achieved by conventional, rectangular FIFFF channels. With these channel-optimized HF FIFFF systems, separation speed and the resolution of nanosized particles have been increased. HF FIFFF has recently been examined as a means for off-line and on-line protein characterization by using the mass spectrometry (MS) through matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (M ALDl-TOF MS) and electrospray ionization (ESl)-TOF MS, as specific detectors. On-line HF FIFFF and ESl-TOF MS analysis has demonstrated the viability of fractionating proteins by HF FIFFF followed by direct analysis of the protein ions in MS [38].

Mass spectrometry (MS) is now an integrated detector for liquid chromatography. This is due to the advent of atmospheric pressure ionization (API) interfaces. In an API interface, the column effluent is nebulized into an atmospheric pressure ion region. Nebulization is performed pneumatically in atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) by a strong electrical field in electrospray or by a combination of both in ion spray. Ions are produced from the evaporating droplets...

The synthesis of phosphopeptides is typically confirmed mass spectrometri-cally using either a MALDI (matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionizafion) or an ESI (electrospray ionization) source, and the peptide purity is determined by reversed-phase chromatography coupled to an UV detector (Figs. 1 and 2B). Whenever possible, phosphopeptide analyses should be complimented by mass spectra recorded in negative ion mode. For most biochemical applications it is necessary to purify the peptides by HPLC techniques (Fig. 2A).

The major limitation of both UV and MS detectors is that neither can provide quantitative or even semiquantitative information without reference standards. Ultraviolet response depends on the presence of a chromophore in a molecule and evidently might vary from one molecular species to another in a library. Although successful application of electrospray mass spectrometry for quantitative analysis of peptides has been reported [35], one should always keep in mind that signal intensity in a mass spectrum depends on the ability of a molecule to ionize. The ability to produce ions, especially with soft ionization techniques, might be very different for different molecules within one library, and the difference might be even bigger from one library to another. 

Today, mass spectrometry offers an attractive alternative as a detector to HPLC. Newer techniques for linking HPLC systems with mass spectrometers directly via atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) and electrospray interfaces should see an expansion of this analytical tool in the analysis of confectionery fats, a field in which it has not yet been applied. Triacylglycerols... 

The dynamic development of mass spectrometry has had a huge impact on lipid analysis. Currently, a variety of suitable mass spectrometers is available. In principal, a mass spectrometer consists of an ion source, a mass analyzer, and an ion detector. The typical features of each instrument (Fig. 2) result mostly from the types of ion source and mass analyzer. To date, the ionization techniques apphed to lipid analysis include Electrospray Ionization (ESI or nano-ESI), Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization (APCI), Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization...
