摘要： Adulteration of edible oils by the manufacturers has been found frequently in modern societies. Due to the complexity of the chemical contents in edible oils, it is challenging to quantitatively determine the extent of adulteration and prove the authenticity of edible oils. In this study, a robust and simple MALDI-TOF-MS platform for rapid ?ngerprinting of triacylglycerols (TAGs) in edible oils was developed, where spectral similarity analysis was performed to quantitatively reveal correlations among edible oils in the chemical level. Speci?cally, we proposed oil networking, a spectral similarity-based illustration, which enabled reliable classi?cations of tens of commercial edible oils from vegetable and animal origins. The strategy was superior to traditional multivariate statistics due to its high sensitivity in probing subtle changes in TAG pro?les, as further demonstrated by the success in determination of the adulterated lard in a food fraud in Taiwan. Finally, we showed that the platform allowed quantitative assessment of the binary mixture of olive oil and canola oil, which is a common type of olive oil adulteration in the market. Overall, these results suggested a novel strategy for chemical ?ngerprint-based quality control and authentication of oils in the food industry.
