β¦ Synopsis
Molecular size information for polymerized catechin larger than the decamer in unripe apple was obtained by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry and by fast-atom bombardment mass spectrometry. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry provided evidence for the pentadecamer using trans-3-indoleacrylic acid as the matrix in the presence of silver ion. Even in the absence of silver ion, the dodecamer and undecamer were observed in the positive-and negative-ion modes, respectively. Fast-atom bombardment mass spectrometry also afforded evidence for the undecamer in both positive-and negative-ion modes.
