Ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) has proved its huge potential in many research areas, especially when hyphenated with chromatographic techniques or mass spectrometry (MS). However, focusing on food analysis, and particularly in classification and authentication issues, very few applications have been reported. In this study, differential mobility spectrometry coupled to mass spectrometry (DMS-MS) is presented for the first time as an alternative and high-throughput technique for food classification and authentication purposes using a fingerprinting strategy. As a study case, 70 Spanish paprika samples (from La Vera, Murcia, and Mallorca) were analyzed by DMS-MS to address their classification -using partial least squares regression-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA)- and authentication -through soft independent modeling of class analogy (SIMCA). As a result, after external validation, complete sample classification according to their geographical origin and excellent La Vera and Mallorca sample authentication were reached.

This study presents the fabrication of a sustainable flexible humidity sensor utilizing chitosan derived from mealworm biomass as the primary sensing material. The chitosan-based humidity sensor was fabricated by casting chitosan and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) films with interdigitated copper electrodes, forming a laminate composite suitable for real-time, resistive-type humidity detection. Comprehensive characterization of the chitosan film was performed using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, contact angle measurements, and tensile testing, which confirmed its chemical structure, wettability, and mechanical stability.

One of the main objectives of the ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) technique is to reduce moisture in detection systems, which causes the formation of ion clusters and ion water and a reduction in formed clusters' activity. Thus, one of the methods limiting moisture in a sampling injection system is to use hydrophobic polymeric membranes. The use of membranes with high permeability relative to the analysed organic compounds is required, including toxic agents in air (TAAs).

Dansyl labeling is a widely used approach for enhancing the detection of small molecules by UV spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. It has been successfully applied to identify and quantify a variety of biological and environmental specimens. Despite clear advantages, the dansylation reaction has found very few applications in the study of proteins.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are closely associated with the maturity and variety of strawberries. However, the complexity of VOCs hinders their potential application in strawberry classification. This study developed a novel classification workflow using strawberry VOC profiles and machine learning (ML) models for precise fruit classification.
