Abstract

Plant phospholipids and glycolipids can be analyzed by direct infusion electrospray ionization triple-quadrupole mass spectrometry. A biological extract is introduced in solvent by continuous infusion into the mass spectrometer's electrospray ionization source, where ions are produced from the lipids. For analysis of membrane lipids, a series of precursor and neutral loss scans, each specific for lipids containing a common head group, are obtained sequentially. The mass spectral data are processed and combined, using the Web application LipidomeDB Data Calculation Environment, to create a lipid profile.
