Summary: The fatty acid composition of vegetable oils is crucial for determining their quality and origin. Gas chromatography (GC) has long been the standard method for analyzing fatty acid composition, but 1H NMR has gained importance in the past 20 years. The 1H NMR method offers advantages such as no special sample preparation, fast analysis, and the potential for automation. It allows for both qualitative and quantitative testing, considering the fatty acid profile and minor components. With the use of statistical and chemometric methods, 1H NMR spectra analysis provides valuable information about the composition, quality, impurities, and origin of tested oils.

Summary: Authentication of walnut oil is challenging due to adulteration with high-linoleic acid vegetable oils. A rapid and sensitive scanning method based on SFC-QTOF-MS was established to profile potential triacylglycerols in adulterated samples. Models based on the triacylglycerol profiles accurately predicted adulteration levels as low as 5% and hold promise for oil authentication.

Summary: In this study, the difference between wild and farmed salmon production was successfully characterized using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-ToF MS) combined with chemometric analysis. The established method involved multivariate analysis techniques, such as principal component analysis (PCA), partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA), to identify distinctive features in wild and farmed salmon products. The proposed method achieved 100% classification accuracy in discriminating farmed and wild salmon, as well as distinguishing different species of wild salmon. The results suggest that this method could be used as a reference for detecting salmon fraud related to production type and expand the application of MALDI-ToF technology in food authenticity testing.

Summary: The continuous development of resistance to antibiotic drugs by microorganisms causes high mortality and morbidity. Pathogens with distinct features and biochemical abilities make them destructive to human health. Therefore, early identification of the pathogen is of substantial importance for quick ailments and healthcare outcomes. Several advanced spectroscopic techniques have been utilized for the identification of microorganisms, particularly bacteria, in research studies conducted in the last five years. Among these techniques, mass spectrometry (MS), infrared (IR) spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy (RS), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy have been widely used. MALDI-TOF/MS, a type of MS technique, has been particularly favored for microbial identification. The review discusses the identification of 44 bacteria using these techniques, with the most studied organisms being E. coli, S. aureus, and other microorganisms.

Summary: The objective of the study was to reduce recurrent errors between phylogenetically close species by adding new reference spectra. Diversifying the references and adding spectra from various culture media and culture durations improved identification performance, although confusion remained between certain closely related species.

Summary: We developed an efficient strategy to assess the risk of biofilm formation by psychrotrophic Pseudomonas in raw milk using MALDI-TOF MS. By collecting molecular mass fingerprints of whole cells and combining multivariate statistical analysis with machine learning, we established a classification model for the biofilm-forming ability of psychrotrophs. The results showed that different biofilm-forming capabilities of Pseudomonas can be well distinguished by the MALDI-TOF MS molecular mass fingerprints. The established classification model demonstrated 100% accuracy in identifying biofilm-forming risk.

Summary: This study evaluated the microbiological quality of rainbow trout meat treated with essential oils (EOs from Citrus limon and Cinnamomum camphora) at concentrations of 0.5% and 1.0% in combination with vacuum packaging during storage. It was found that both lemon and C. camphora essential oils had a positive effect on the microbiological quality of fish meat, keeping a high microbial quality of the fish fillets during 7 days of cold storage. The highest antimicrobial activity was shown by C. camphora EO at a concentration of 1%.

Summary: The study aimed to establish a MALDI-TOF/MS Bruker database including 18 Achromobacter species and evaluate its suitability in laboratory settings. The new database accurately identified 99.4% of isolates, significantly outperforming the Bruker default database at 50.9%. This highlights the potential of using MALDI-TOF/MS with a local database for rapid and accurate identification.

Summary: The study evaluated matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-iime of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR-S) as diagnostic alternatives for the detection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa sequence type (ST) 175 isolates involved in a hospital outbreak. The results showed that the combination of these two technologies, along with machine learning tools, can effectively monitor high-risk clones and isolates in nosocomial outbreaks.

Summary: Hypochlorous acid (HOCl), generated by myeloperoxidase during inflammation, is a strong oxidant that reacts with sulfhydryl and amino acid residues. It also affects other biomolecules, such as glycosaminoglycans. This study investigates the degradation of glycosaminoglycans by HOCl and the conversion of related monosaccharides into chlorinated products using mass spectrometry. The reaction between HOCl and hyaluronan is slower than previously thought, resulting in the cleavage of beta-1,3/1,4-glycosidic linkages and the generation of different products, particularly hyaluronan monosaccharides. The detection of chlorinated products is only possible for monosaccharides, and potential reasons for this will be discussed.

Summary: The occurrence of free fatty acids and reactive oxygen species is characteristic of inflammatory diseases. Unsaturated fatty acids react with reactive oxygen species, producing important products. These modified fatty acids can be released from phospholipids or oxidatively modified, and oligomeric products may be formed. Hydroxy fatty acid esters are considered important products, and there are different opinions on the role of dimeric fatty acids.
