Abstract

Hydrogen/deuterium exchange coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry was successfully applied for the identification of A-type tetrameric, pentameric, and hexameric procyanidins in peanut skin. This extended a previous study on isomeric cyclic B-type unconventional tetramer, pentamer, and hexamer procyanidins found in wine and cranberries. Not only had the method successfully identified the procyanidins with a single A-linkage (e.g., tetrameric m/z 1153.2608) by means of distinguishing them from their isomeric cyclic B-type analogues, but this method also worked for procyanidins with two or more A-linkages (such as the tetrameric m/z 1151.2452). As a further consequence, B-type cyclic pentamers and hexamers in wine have been elucidated with hydrogen/deuterium exchange (HDX) for the first time. Graphical Abstract ᅟ.
