Chemometrics comparison of gas chromatography with mass spectrometry and comprehensive two‐dimensional gas chromatography with time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry Daphnia magna metabolic profiles exposed to salinity

Abstract

The performances of gas chromatography with mass spectrometry and of comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography with time-of-flight mass spectrometry are examined through the comparison of Daphnia magna metabolic profiles. Gas chromatography with mass spectrometry and comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography with mass spectrometry were used to compare the concentration changes of metabolites under saline conditions. In this regard, a chemometric strategy based on wavelet compression and multivariate curve resolution-alternating least squares is used to compare the performances of gas chromatography with mass spectrometry and comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography with time-of-flight mass spectrometry for the untargeted metabolic profiling of Daphnia magna in control and salinity-exposed samples. Examination of the results confirmed the outperformance of comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography with time-of-flight mass spectrometry over gas chromatography with mass spectrometry for the detection of metabolites in D. magna samples. The peak areas of multivariate curve resolution-alternating least squares resolved elution profiles in every sample analyzed by comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography with time-of-flight mass spectrometry were arranged in a new data matrix that was then modeled by partial least squares discriminant analysis. The control and salt-exposed daphnids samples were discriminated and the most relevant metabolites were estimated using variable importance in projection and selectivity ratio values. Salinity de-regulated 18 metabolites from metabolic pathways involved in protein translation, transmembrane cell transport, carbon metabolism, secondary metabolism, glycolysis, and osmoregulation.

Analysis of volatile components in Dalbergia cochinchinensis Pierre by a comprehensive two‐dimensional gas chromatography with mass spectrometry method using a solid‐state modulator

“…Moreover, SPME is a relatively simple sampling technique involving exposure of a microfibre coated with a stationary phase directed to the solution or the headspace above the analysis of interest. This technique has been easily integrated into comprehensive two‐dimensional gas chromatography with mass spectrometry (GC × GC‐MS) for analysis in tree barks , Pinus sylvestris , Eucalyptus , Nicotiana Tabacum , Daphnia magna , and Saccharomyces .…”

Use of a recently developed thermal modulator within the context of comprehensive two‐dimensional gas chromatography combined with time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry: Gas flow optimization aspects

“…Comprehensive 2D GC (GC × GC) is a very powerful technology, first described in 1991 by Liu and Phillips , and nowadays it is used in a variety of research fields . The first modulator was a dual‐stage one and was constructed by looping the initial segment of the second dimension ( 2 D) outside the GC oven and by coating it with gold paint.…”

“…GC×GC provides higher sensitivity and resolution when compared to conventional one-dimensional gas chromatography (1D-GC), which ful ls the requirements for the analysis of complex biological samples. Also, GC×GC combined with time-of-ight mass spectrometry (ToFMS) increases sensitivity and detectability providing reliable identi cation of metabolites based on retention rates and mass spectra (de Souza et al 2018c;Parastar et al 2018;Carriço et al 2020).…”
