Application note: Black pepper authenticity workflow using the high resolution Agilent 7250 GC/Q-TOF

This application notes discusses a novel food authenticity workflow targeted for routine analysis that allows to distinguish black pepper samples

Black pepper is a highly valued commodity known to be subject to economically motivated adulteration.1 This application note discusses a novel food authenticity workflow targeted for routine analysis that allows to distinguish black pepper samples from different geographic regions and detect adulteration. The workflow uses high‑resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) with Agilent Mass Profiler Professional (MPP) and Agilent MassHunter Classifier software to build and apply the classification model.
