Summary: In this study, three recently developed HILIC columns were characterized in detail to compare their peptide retention mechanisms, revealing a multimodal retention mechanism in systems with these stationary phases. By balancing the properties of analytes and stationary phases, satisfactory retention and peak shape of peptides can be achieved. Buffer concentration and pH optimization was confirmed to be an effective tool for manipulating retention and peak symmetry, enhancing the potential applications of these columns in the analysis of diverse compounds.

Summary: Glycoproteomics, a challenging field due to glycosylation heterogeneity, benefits from hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography for glycopeptide separation. Comparing HILIC columns in human immunoglobulin G glycopeptide separation, it was found that different columns exhibit higher separation power for different glycoforms and can effectively elucidate the structure of isomeric glycoforms. The retention mechanism for HILIC columns is discussed based on determined chromatographic parameters.

Summary: In this work, a new strategy was adopted to simultaneously graft two different functional ligands onto the silica surface, resulting in a carbonyldiimidazolium/dodecyl dual-functionalized silica stationary phase (Sil-CDI-DD) using recycled commercial C18 columns as raw materials. The obtained Sil-CDI-DD exhibited enhanced separation selectivity and efficiency, providing multiple interaction sites for diverse target analytes and enabling the favorable resolution of hydrophilic nucleosides/nucleobases and weak polar environmental endocrine disruptors.

Summary: A method was reported for preparing a poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone-co-pentaerythritol triacrylate copolymerization)-based monolithic capillary column for the separation of polar small molecular weight compounds with nano-liquid chromatography in hydrophilic interaction chromatography mode. The monolithic columns were prepared by copolymerization of N-vinylpyrrolidone and pentaerythritol triacrylate in a binary porogenic agent consisting of methanol and water. The polymerization solution was optimized for column permeability, theoretical plate number, asymmetric factor, and retention factor. The N-vinylpyrrolidone-based hydrophilic interaction chromatography stationary phase showed satisfactory separation selectivity for polar test analytes.

Summary: Glycosylation is a critical quality attribute of monoclonal antibody therapeutics. Hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HILIC-MS) is a valuable technology for glycosylation characterization. Traditional glycan analysis based on glucose units (GU) and accurate mass (AM) is not suitable for complex samples or high-throughput applications. This study presents a two-step strategy for targeted glycan analysis and its application in different scenarios.

Summary: Hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) is proposed as an alternative to ion-pairing reversed-phase chromatography (IP-RPLC) for oligonucleotide (ON) analysis. This study evaluates the potential of seven zwitterionic HILIC columns and other columns for ON analysis, and highlights the importance of understanding column characteristics (retention and selectivity) when selecting a stationary phase for specific ON applications.

Summary: This study investigates the variations in lipid digestion profiles among individuals of different ages using in vitro digestion models. The findings suggest that adults have a more comprehensive lipid digestion compared to infants, and infants tend to release shorter chain length and more saturated free fatty acids during digestion. Additionally, the particle sizes in the stomach of the elderly were consistently larger. This study enhances our understanding of how lipids with different degrees of unsaturation undergo digestion in diverse age groups.

Summary: Horse's milk, with its high nutritional value and low allergenic proteins, could be a substitute for cow's milk in infant consumption. A proteomic method was used to identify and compare milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) and whey proteins from different horse breeds. The study found differences in protein composition and functionality, which could support the development of formulas more suitable for human infants.

Summary: This study investigated the acidification of aroma-enhanced black tea during storage. Analysis of non-volatile substances and organic acids using UPLC-Q-TOF/MS and HPLC revealed a decrease in soluble sugars and amino acids, while an increase in organic acids such as oxalic acid, malic acid, and quinic acid. In vitro experiments further demonstrated that the acidification is a result of the decomposition of sugars and amino acids by heating, as well as the oxidation of aromatic aldehydes. Additionally, the study showed that the taste composition of tea infusion is altered, with reduced amino acids, catechins, soluble sugars, and flavonoids. This research provides a theoretical basis for improving the quality of black tea.
