Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Topic “Application of Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry and Related Techniques, 2nd Edition”, presents new methods or techniques for detecting and quantifying various xenobiotics in different matrices. Mass spectrometry is an analytical technique that allows the precise measurement of an ion's mass to electric charge ratio, where with a known charge of the ion, it is possible to calculate the mass with the accuracy of single atoms. The combination of chromatography and mass spectrometry is a powerful tool for determining different compounds or their groups in biological samples, pharmacokinetic studies, and identifying and monitoring contaminants in food or environmental matrices. Additionally, it is an important tool not only in the detection and determination of parent compounds but also in their metabolites. The MDPI open access journals Analytica, Foods, Molecules, Sensors, and Separations are combining to produce a special topic edition on "Application of Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry and Related Techniques, 2nd Edition". All forms of chromatography will be covered, including simple column LC, GC, HPLC, IC, TLC, SEC Capillary Electrochromatography, and Supercritical Fluid Chromatography. It should be made clear that all forms of Combined Technologies are included, e.g., ICP-MS, MS-MS, LC-MS, LC-MS/MS, LC-NMR, 2D LC, 2D GC, and GC-MS.

Anthocyanins constitute the primary pigment components in hawthorn (Crataegus pinnatifida) peel, yet their specific composition and concentration profiles remain poorly characterized. This study employed ultra-performance liquid chromatography–electrospray ionization–tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-MS/MS)-based metabolomics to systematically compare anthocyanin profiles between red-peel (CPR) and yellow-peel (CPY) hawthorn cultivars. Our analysis identified 26 anthocyanin metabolites in CPR and 24 in CPY, with cyanidin-3-O-galactoside and cyanidin-3-O-arabinoside being the predominant compounds in both. Multivariate analysis revealed seven significantly differential metabolites, including cyanidin-3-O-galactoside, cyanidin-3-O-arabinoside, pelargonidin-3-O-galactoside, pelargonidin-3-O-glucoside, pelargonidin-3-O-arabinoside, and peonidin-3-O-galactoside. Notably, all the differential metabolites exhibited reductions in CPY compared to CPR. Chromatic analysis demonstrated that CPR possessed highly significantly lower hue angle values (hab) than CPY (47.7093 ± 4.1706, 83.6427 ± 1.4604, p < 0.01), showing strong negative correlations with key anthocyanins. These findings enhance the scientific understanding of anthocyanin biosynthesis in hawthorn peel and provide a certain reference for the development and utilization of anthocyanins in hawthorn peel.
