Why has NMR become so successful

in food analysis ?

• NMR spectrometers are now more accessible to food scientists

• Sophisticated NMR hardware and user-friendly software has been developed

• 2D NMR spectroscopy has allowed easy metabolite identification

• Ease of use, minimal sample preparation

• Quantitative chemical composition information

• Multivariate statistical analysis tools has enabled food metabolomics and chemometrics

• Public awareness on food safety and quality issues

NMR spectroscopy in food analysis

• Fats and oils

• Beverages

• Fruits and vegetables

• Dairy products

• Meat products

• Whole foods

• Chemical

characterization

• Quality control

• Authentication

• Adulteration

• Genetic modification

• Protected

denomination of origin

NMR methodology scheme for food analysis -

metabolomics

Solid state NMR

Metabolomics

1H NMR spectrum of beer

Rich compositional information (metabolites)

• Brewing site

• Type (ale, lager)

• Barley or wheat malt

• Production date

• Storage effects

J. E. Rodrigues and A. M. Gil, Magn. Reson. Chem., 2011, 49, S37

Multivariate statistical analysis models-

Metabolomics One metabolite – one line

Many spectra, many metabolites ?

Too much information !

To visualize differences between samples

we need the data to be broken down to

a few components or factors

Metabolomics variants

• Targeted vs untargeted metabolomics

Concentrations of known metabolites vs pure spectra (buckets)

• Unsupervised (PCA, HCA) vs supervised

models (DA, PLS, OPLS-DA, NN, etc.)

The model does not know sample class vs the model knows the

classification already

• Beer

• Spirits

• Coffee

• Tea

• Cocoa

• Fruit juices

• Vinegar

• Honey

• Olive oil

• Vegetable oils

• Quality Control of olive oil (composition, age)

• Geographical and varietal classification

• Year of production variations

• Detection of adulteration with vegetable oils and

low quality olive oils

NMR spectroscopy in olive oil analysis

Quality control in virgin olive oils

Diglycerides analysis by NMR

• Virgin oils contain 1-3% total DGs

• Fresh virgin oils contain mainly 1,2-DGs

D=1,2-DGs/DGs > 0.9

D is further reduced during storage, thus it is a good index of

NMR analysis of solid and semisolid foods

• Solids foods, due to immobility, provide NMR spectra with broad lines

• Rotation of the sample at the magic angle (θ=54.7o) leading to narrow lines,

just like liquid NMR

• High Resolution Magic Angle Spinning (HR-MAS) is suitable for semisolid

• Cross-Polarization Magic Angle Spinning (CP-MAS) is suitable for rigid

foods, like grains.

Solid state NMR spectroscopy

Normal magnet Special probe MAS rotors

•20-200 mg of sample

• Suitable pulse sequences allow 1D and 2D NMR spectral acquisition

High resolution MAS NMR in food science

• Fruits and vegetables (sweet pepper, mango pulp, apple, tomato), nuts

and grains (wheat, rice, almonds, barley beans, green coffee beans)

• Cheeses (Parmigiano reggiano, emmentaler), meat (dried beef, salmon)
