The presently disclosed subject matter provides methods for analyzing complex mixtures with ultra high resolution mass spectrometry. In particular, the presently disclosed subject matter provides methods for identifying and monitoring the presence of a compound within a complex mixture. In certain embodiments, the method includes providing a sample of the complex mixture; performing mass spectrometry on the sample of the complex mixture to obtain a mass spectrum; and identifying one or more peaks from the mass spectrum corresponding to the compound. In certain embodiments, the sample is obtained during production of the complex mixture, e.g., a pet food product. In certain embodiments, the sample is prepared by a single alcohol/water extraction step.
本公开主题提供了利用超高分辨率质谱分析复杂混合物的方法。特别是,本公开主题提供了用于识别和监测复杂混合物中存在的化合物的方法。在某些实施例中,该方法包括提供复杂混合物的样品;对复杂混合物的样品进行质谱分析以获得质谱;以及从质谱中识别出对应于化合物的一个或多个峰。在某些实施例中,样品是在生产复合混合物(例如宠物食品)的过程中获得的。在某些实施方案中,样品是通过单一的醇/
水萃取步骤制备的。
