ABSTRACT
Triacylglycerols (TAGs), a major lipid class in foods and the human body, consist of three fatty acids esterified to a glycerol backbone. They can occur in various isomeric forms, including sn-positional, cis/trans configurational, acyl chain length, double bond positional, and mixed type isomers. Separating isomeric mixtures is of great interest as different isomers can have distinct influence on mechanisms, such as digestibility, oxidative stability, or lipid metabolism. However, TAG isomer separation remains challenging with established analytical methodologies such as liquid-chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS). In this study, we developed a method with cyclic ion mobility mass spectrometry (cIMS-MS) for the separation and identification of all types of TAG isomers. First, the influence of different adducts (Li+, NH4+, Na+, and K+) on the separation was studied. Overall, it was concluded that the sodium adduct is the best choice to efficiently separate all types of TAG isomers. In addition, trends were found in the influence of specific structural features on the drift time order. An order of relative influence (from high to low) was established; (1) degree of unsaturation of the fatty acid(s) on an exterior position (if the total degree of unsaturation(s) is equal in both TAGs), (2) acyl chain length on the exterior positions, (3) cis/trans configuration, and (4) double bond (DB)-position. Finally, various cIMS-MS strategies were developed for the separation of mixtures containing four, five, and six isomers. To conclude, the developed methods can be used for separation of complex mixtures of TAG isomers and have great potential to be expanded to isomers of similar types of lipids such as di- and monoacylglycerols. This study also shows the potential of cIMS-MS to be used for the application on real TAG samples.
