Highly sensitive strategy for identification of trace chemicals in complex matrix: Application to analysis of monacolin analogues in monascus-fermented rice product

Trace analysis of chemical analogues was always a hot topic and attracted the researchers' attentions. In this study, a database/multi-step filtering strategy was developed by using HPLC-Chip-MS system for comprehensive characterization of monacolin analogues in monascus-fermented rice product (MFRP). This strategy mainly included three steps, including chemical profile of MFRP by HPLC-Chip-MS, establishment of monacolin analogue database,...
