Gas chromatography and mass spectrometry- welcome news for chocolate lovers Apart from other research, gas chromatography and mass spectrometry, the heartbeat of analytical tools again proved to be bonus for the chocolate lovers. Serotonin called as mood lifter found in chocolate, which is manufactured by cocoa beans. Chocolate change the mood and is loved by every category of population. Jackfruit found in most of the tropical region which are very low cost and are now replacement for cocoa beans, which is the main constituent in chocolate. The demand of chocolate in the world is elevating day by day and beating the production of cocoa beans. The sweet smelling jackfruit are boiled, roasted and steamed prior to eating, which is the cheap source of protein, fibre, and minerals, and these are mostly thrown as waste. The analysis predicted that the demand for these beans will cross 4 million tonnes by 2020.Researchers were finding a better way to put the waste jackfruits

Mass Spectrometry: Reveal Secrets There is something unique pattern in fingerprints of an individual which constitute of valleys and ridges. Mass Spectrometry imaging of chemical compounds in fingerprints help in determination of lifestyle of an individual. Mass spectrometry imaging visualizes the spatial relationship of each compound detected, allowing ridge detail and chemical information in a single analysis. The presence of a single compound may not be sufficient to provide detailed information about an individual, but the compilation of multiple compounds present in a latent fingerprint may give insight into one’s lifestyle. Chromatography and mass spectrometry coupled methods, such as liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), provide chemical fingerprint information, but typically require multiple fingerprints with no spatially relevant information. The multiplex method allowed MS/MS of citric acid, tartaric a
