Metabolomic Analysis of Green and Black Tea Extracts Using an LTQ Orbitrap XL Hybrid Linear Ion Trap Mass Spectrometer
Detection, relative quantitation, and identification of low molecular weight components in green and black tea samples
Purpose: To show a complete analytical metabolomic workflow including (1) data acquisition using a high resolution accurate mass instrument that is equipped with a Higher Energy Collisional Dissociation (HCD) cell and coupled to a high pressure LC, (2) metabolite differential abundance analysis, and (3) structural elucidation of relevant metabolites using accurate mass and HCD fragmentation information to highlight the component differences between green and black tea.
