The Identification of Beef Authenticity by Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry-Characteristic Peptides
Investigate the authenticity of beef by ultra-high performance liquid phase tandem triple quadrupole mass spectrometry(UPLC-MS/MS)-characteristic peptide.After protein extraction and hydrolysis of beef,chicken and duck meat,the primary and secondary scanning mass spectrometry data were collected by high-resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-TOF),compared with the protein library,and the characteristic peptides of cattle,chicken and duck,relatively complete beef characteristic peptide sequences were screened,and beef characteristic peptides were artificially synthesized according to this sequence,and the qualitative and quantitative methods of multi-reaction monitoring(MRM)mode of ultra-high performance liquid-tandem triple quadrupole mass spectrometry were established as the object.The results showed that the detection limits of the two beef characteristic peptides were 1.69 ng/mL and 0.61 ng/mL,respectively,and the characteristic peptides of beef could be detected in bovine-containing meat,but no beef characteristic peptides were detected in non-bovine-derived meat.This method could be used to identify the authenticity of beef.
