Abstract

A series of positionally pure triglycerides (TAGs) of the form OXO and YOY, where O is the oleate moiety and X and Y are large arrays of different fatty acid moieties, was synthesized and analyzed by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry. The intensities of the collision-induced decomposition (CID) products of ammoniated TAGs (ammonium ion adducts) were examined as a function of chain length, degree of unsaturation, double-bond position, and cis/trans configuration of X and Y. The major CID products, the diglyceride fragment ions and the MH+ ion, were plotted as functions of chain length for the saturated and mono-unsaturated series of X and Y. Different trends for each of these series were observed. Trends in the abundances of these fragment ions were also characterized as a function of degree of unsaturation in the TAGs. In general, the fractional abundances of the MH+ ions vary linearly with degree of unsaturation. However, the presence of double bonds positioned close to the carbonyl carbon of the fatty acid chain promotes the formation of the diglyceride fragment ion corresponding to loss of that fatty acid. Mechanisms of the formation and decomposition of ammoniated TAGs are proposed that fit the trends observed in the data. Extensions of this work are described, and a vision of a derived library of CID spectra is discussed as a platform for comprehensive analysis of complex TAG mixtures.
