AbstractFood authenticity is becoming increasingly important but challenges existing analytical methods. In this study, we analyze the mango cultivar Alphonso with regard to authenticity using 1H-NMR spectroscopy. This cultivar has been termed “the king of mangoes” due to its unique flavor. Regarding its metabolites however, little is known about unique constellations that allow for differentiation of the Alphonso cultivar. We find that the Alphonso cultivar is distinguished by high levels of niacin, trigonelline, and histidine but features relatively low levels of alanine. Furthermore, we develop a model based on the local outlier factor algorithm that effectively detects admixture of non-Alphonso cultivars to Alphonso purée. This task is highly challenging because we identified no metabolites that are unique or uniquely absent in the Alphonso cultivar compared to other mango cultivars analyzed in this study. Our model shows promising results on a test set: Admixtures consisting of 35% non-Alphonso and 65% Alphonso mango purée were uncovered with a sensitivity of 88%. At the same time, our model verified Alphonso samples with a good specificity of 86%.

The previous data obtained by 1H-NMR spectroscopy established the existence of an asymmetry of the bond between Pd and p-allylic groups, even in the p-allyl-Pd complexes dimers which are considered usually symmetric dimers. The asymmetry of the bond depends by the substitutes of the allylic group. Other analytical methods were investigated for additional proof of the obtained results. Thus, this paper discusses how this asymmetry would be reflected in the infrared spectra and in the reaction of the complexes with carbon monoxide.

The 1H NMR fingerprints of fractionated non-polar extracts (CSPD A) from the roots of Angelica sinensis of six different specimens were assigned by comparison with the 1H NMR spectra of the isolated pure compounds. The 1H NMR fingerprints showed exclusively characteristic resonance signals of the major constituents of the plant. The 1H NMR fingerprint established for an authentic sample of A. sinensis can be used for authenticating A. sinensis species.

DETECHIP has been used in testing analytes including caffeine, cocaine, and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) from marijuana, as well as date rape and club drugs such as flunitrazepam, gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB), and methamphetamine. This study investigates the intermolecular interaction between DETECHIP sensor eosin Y (DC1) and the analyte (caffeine) that is responsible for the fluorescence and color changes observed in the actual array. Using 1H-NMR, 1H-COSY, and 1H-DOSY NMR methods, a proton exchange from C-8 of caffeine to eosin Y is proposed.

The conformation of the cyclohexane ring and the p-methoxybenzyl substituent in the series of isomeric 1-acyloxy-2-(4-methoxybenzyl)cyclohexanes was studied by means of 1H NMR spectroscopy. In all the substances investigated the cyclohexane ring assumes chair conformation. trans-Isomers have both substituents in equatorial positions, while in cis-isomers the p-methoxybenzyl group is always equatorial and the hydroxy or acetoxy group axial.

Abstract (-)D-and (+)D-4-methoxyphenylmethyl-thiophosphinic acid, quinine salts of (-)D-and (+)D-4-methoxyphenylmethylthiophosphinic acid, checking of resolution by 31P{ 1H} NMR-spectroscopy (-)D-and(+)D-4-CH3OC6H4(CH3)P(S)OH acid were obtained from fractional crystallization of the quinine salt of the racemic acid. 31P{1H} NMR spectroscopy proved to be very useful in checking the separation process as well as the optical purity of the diastereomers and enan­tiomers.

The application possibilities of the in situ reactions of trichloroacetyl isocyanate (TAI method) to structural assignment of alcohols by means of 1H NMR spectroscopy are critically evaluated. The possibilities of TAI acylations in various solvents are demonstrated and the reactivity of various functional groups, potentially complicating or extending the applications of TAI, is discussed. In addition to their use in structural analysis such reactions also can serve as model experiments for preparative purposes.
