Summary: This study used HPLC/LTQ-Orbitrap-MS to comprehensively profile and compare the lipids in six different cultivars of beans. The results showed that soybean-Fukuyutaka 2021 and 2022 cultivars had the highest ratio of polyunsaturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acids, which is the most beneficial for health. Furthermore, new lipids such as acyl sterol glycosides were detected and characterized in these bean cultivars. This study indicates the potential nutritional evaluation and functional food value of lipids in beans.

Summary: Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi is a valuable medicinal plant with high levels of flavones in its roots, which are responsible for its anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antitumor activities. The variability in flavonoid content and composition can be influenced by factors such as electroporation, which can significantly impact plant growth and the content of flavonoids.

Summary: This review presents the application of mass spectrometry in assisting forensic investigation, which provides tools to streamline and accelerate sample analysis with high-resolution mass data, structural information, high sensitivity, and cooperation with separation techniques. Moreover, advanced derivatization procedures and availability of isotopically labeled standards offer opportunities to study materials previously not considered viable evidence, opening new avenues in forensic investigations.

Summary: This study used a non-targeted lipidomics analysis platform to determine the lipids in Eucommia ulmoides. The study found that female leaves had a higher abundance of lipids compared to male leaves, and the content of most phospholipids in both genders increased significantly after September. Differences in lipid content between seed cases and leaves were observed, and 53 phospholipids were identified with significantly different contents in the seed cases and fresh leaves samples of Eucommia ulmoides.

Summary: Various generic extraction methods have been used for determination of pesticide residues, mycotoxins, and PAHs in food and animal feed, but a new method introduced in this study facilitated identification of a wide range of compounds across different polarities. The method involved initial extraction with water, acetonitrile, formic acid, and heptane followed by solid-phase extraction clean-up and analysis by chromatography and mass spectrometry, achieving analyte recoveries with high accuracy and precision.

Summary: Milk is a rich source of lipids, and LC-MS is the predominant technique for lipid identification and quantification. However, no standard methods are currently available for the quantification of milk phospholipids. This study aims to examine the factors influencing the quantification outcome of bovine milk phospholipids and discuss the pros and cons of current LC-MS methods.

Summary: This study developed two methods for screening plasticizers in gloves and compared their performance and results. It found that the main plasticizers in gloves were DEHP, DEHT, and DINP, with varying contents across different glove materials, highlighting a predominant use of plasticizers in vinyl gloves.

Summary: The study investigated the effects of 17α-methyltestosterone and 17β-estradiol on shortening the duration of pituitary extract treatment in European eels. The results showed that these steroids had significant impacts on the eels, with the 17 MT and E2 groups showing increases compared to the control group, and the 17 MT + E2 group exhibiting synergistic effects.

Summary: Enzymatic and nonenzymatic oxidation of linoleic (LA) and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) during pressing and storage of plant oils leads to the formation of various oxylipins. The concentrations of oxylipins are found to be correlated with the peroxide value (PV) of the oils, while secondary volatile aldehydes do not show similar correlations. Comprehensive analysis of different types of hydroxy-, epoxy-, and dihydroxy-LA/-ALA provides new insights into the composition of plant oils and ongoing oxidation processes.

Summary: The chapter discusses the impact of insects in aquafeeds, suggesting a maximum threshold of 25-30% for insect inclusion in aquafeeds for uncompromised performance. It also identifies factors such as reduction in protein digestibility, imbalanced amino acid profile, and increasing levels of saturated fatty acids as major limitations for higher inclusion of insects in aquafeeds.

Summary: This research investigates how the nutritional qualities of Antarctic fish species may change in response to predicted seawater warming. The study found that while seawater warming did cause changes in nutritional indices, these changes were not statistically significant. Therefore, the nutritional value of Antarctic fish species may be preserved even with an increase in water temperature.

Summary: This article discusses the analytical challenges associated with quantifying vitamin D intake, including studying assay variability before categorizing a method as the golden standard, ensuring sample comparability for meaningful correlations, revising intake guidance based on statistical power analysis, and implementing strategies to prevent preanalytical factors. Addressing these challenges will enable effective vitamin D management in the sports sector.

Summary: A simple and rapid method was proposed for the extraction and determination of D-series resolvins produced by head kidney cells from Atlantic salmon. The method involved the use of liquid chromatography triple quadrupole mass spectrometry and a three-level factorial design to optimize the internal standards concentrations. The results suggested that the production of resolvins by head kidney cells might be regulated by circadian responses.
