Pueraria is a rich source of bioactive compounds, but there is a lack of comprehensive information concerning its composition. Therefore, a UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap HRMS method was developed to identify and quantify bioactive compounds in pueraria. Twelve isoflavones were quantified, with puerarin being the most abundant, followed by puerarin 6″-O-xyloside, 3'-methoxy puerarin, and 3'-hydroxy puerarin. A further 88 bioactive components in eight categories were also tentatively identified. The 12 isoflavones, except for genistein, exhibited α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. The binding of these compounds to the active site of α-glucosidase was confirmed via molecular docking analysis. These findings provide a basis for identifying pueraria as a promising functional food ingredient.

Sulfate and sulfonate compounds are extensively used as anionic surfactants in personal care products (PCPs), which might pose adverse potential to human health. However, available research mostly identified certain subsets of sulfated and sulfonated surfactants based on target analysis. In this study, we developed a comprehensive nontarget strategy for identification of sulfated and sulfonated surfactants in PCPs using UHPLCHRMS supplemented by an in-lab R script based on characteristic fragment ions and sulfur isotope patterns.

Selenopeptides can be ideal dietary selenium (Se) supplements for humans. Currently, rice is not used much as a source of selenopeptides. Here, we executed the selenopeptidomics analysis of selenium-enriched rice protein hydrolysates using the full MS-dd-MS2 acquisition method and identified selenopeptides, including L{Se-Met}AK and other selenopeptides.
