ABSTRACT
Untargeted metabolomics approach based on ultra high performance liquid chromatography coupled with high resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS) was used to investigate the differences in cage duck eggs and sea duck eggs that from different poultry breeding system, which could help to combat fraud within the egg industry. High dimensions and complex data collected by UHPLC-HRMS were analyzed by multivariate statistical analysis. Identification model of sea duck eggs based on was established. After matching with the chemical databases, four potential markers were putatively matched. Further analysis showed that three of them were confirmed by reference standards. All these three markers (n-behenoyl-d-erythro-sphingosine, 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine and n-nervonoyl-d-erythro-sphingosine) have higher content in sea duck eggs. The quantitative analysis showed that the content difference of three markers in farm samples were in highly consistent with the concentration changes measured in experimental samples, which indicate that these three markers are reliable.
