To avoid heat, treatment induces numerous physicochemical changes under severe conditions in the tuna, cold plasma (CP), as a non-thermal technology, possess objective potential on tuna processing. The effect of cold plasma on the volatile flavor compounds of bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) sashimi has been evaluated using electronic nose (E-nose) and gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS). GC–IMS results revealed a total of 33 volatile compounds in tuna slices. The effect of CP treatment on tuna flavor was not significant, furthermore CP could protect volatile freshness compounds such as 1-hexanol. Principal component analysis (PCA) of the E-nose and GC–IMS results could effectively differentiate the effect of storage to tuna sashimi. There was a high correlation between the E-nose and GC–IMS results, providing a theoretical basis for establishing the flavor fingerprint of tuna sashimi.

Ion mobility spectrometry is widely used for the detection of illegal substances and explosives in airports, ports, custom, some stations and many other important places. This task is usually complicated by false positives caused by overlapping the target peaks with that of interferents, commonly associated with samples of interest. Shift reagents (SR) are species that selectively change ion mobilities through adduction with analyte ions when they are introduced in IMS instruments. This characteristic can be used to discriminate false positives because the interferents and illegal substances respond differently to SR depending on the structure and size of analytes and their interaction energy with SR. This study demonstrates that ion mobility shifts upon introduction of SR depend, not only on the ion masses, but on the interaction energies of the ion:SR adducts. In this study, we introduced five different SRs using ESI-IMS-MS to study the effect of the interaction energy and size on mobility shifts. The mobility shifts showed a decreasing trend as the molecular weight increased for the series of compounds ethanolamine, valinol, serine, threonine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, tributylamine, tryptophan, desipramine, and tribenzylamine. It was proved that the decreasing trend was partially due to the inverse relation between the mobility and drift time and hence, the shift in drift time better reflects the pure effect of SR on the mobility of analytes. Yet the drift time shift exhibited a mild decrease with the mass of ions. Valinol pulled out from this trend because it had a low binding energy interaction with all the SR and, consequently, its clusters were short-lived. This short lifetime produced fewer collisions against the buffer gas and a drift time shorter compared to those of ions of similar molecular weight. Analyte ion:SR interactions were calculated using Gaussian. IMS with the introduction of SR could be the choice for the free-interferents detection of illegal drugs, explosives, and biological and warfare agents. The suppression of false positives could facilitate the transit of passengers and cargos, rise the confiscation of illicit substances, and save money and distresses due to needless delays. Keywords: Adduction, ion mobility spectrometry, mass spectrometry, shift reagent, valinol, buffer gas modifier
