A sandwich type confectionery product is made with a soft filling and a chocolate coating. The fats used for these two parts are generally different to provide specific organoleptic sensations. Thus, their compositions, in terms of the triacylglycerols (TAGs) profile, are different.

Oil bodies (OB), the form of triacylglycerol storage in seeds, are interesting natural assemblies for nutritional applications. In walnuts, OB contain an important amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids that could be interesting food ingredients but may be prone to oxidation. The oxidative and interfacial behavior of walnut OB, either minimally-processed or after processing, were compared with processed complex walnut juice.

Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids are highly susceptible to lipid oxidation which causes undesirable odors and flavors in food. We present the development, validation, and application of a semiquantitative screening method to monitor volatile and nonvolatile carbonyl compounds generated from lipids oxidation after 7-(diethylamino)-2-oxochromene-3-carbohydrazide (CHH) derivatization using liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry. An inclusion list containing eligible compounds was used in full scan mode to identify potential oxidative markers.

This study describes the use of hybrid mass spectrometry for the mapping, identification, and semi-quantitation of triacylglycerol regioisomers in fats and oils. The identification was performed based on the accurate mass and fragmentation pattern obtained by data-dependent fragmentation. Quantitation was based on the high-resolution ion chromatograms, and relative proportion of sn-1(3)/sn-2 regioisomers was calculated based on generalized fragmentation models and the relative intensities observed in the product ion spectra.
