FAB-MS Applications in the Elucidation of Proanthocyanidin Structures

  • Chapter

Abstract

Fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry (FAB-MS), which requires no chemical derivatization prior to mass spectral analysis, has become a powerful tool for studying the structures of biopolymers. FAB and similar forms of mass spectrometry have the potential for achieving the same degree of importance in the elucidation of proanthocyanidin structure currently accorded nuclear magnetic resonance. The extent and state of research on the use of FAB-MS to determine molecular weight, adduct identity, sequence, branching, and linkage type are reviewed in this paper. Experimental considerations (such as sample introduction, sample matrices, and instrument modes) and mass spectral features associated with the characterization of oligomeric proanthocyanidins are surveyed.
