Abstract

Mass spectrometry (MS) is an analytical technique that provides information about the molecular weight and chemical characteristics of a compound. This technique is commonly linked to high-performance liquid chromatography (LC-MS), gas chromatography (GC-MS), inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS), and other methods. This laboratory exercise covers the determination and identification of various phytochemicals (mainly isoflavones) in soy flour, to aid in understanding how to analyze a mass spectrum to obtain mass and structural information of a compound.
