Revealing the Sweet Resolution of High-Resolution Ion Mobility with Stevia

Abstract
There is interest in identifying and quantifying several dozen compounds which are naturally occurring in the stevia plant. The stevia plant produces a host of sweet-tasting compounds wherein the central steviol core is decorated with glycosides. Some of these glycosides are sweeter than others, while several glycosides also taste offensively bitter. Thus, broad-scope analytical evaluation of stevia leaves can inform improvements in overall taste.

Abstract
- High-Resolution Ion Mobility (HRIM) Mass Spectrometry provides a 5x improvement in data turnaround time for analyzing stevia compounds.
- HRIM requires 10x less in consumable costs compared to traditional analysis methods.
- Data analysis time is cut by 50%, streamlining the evaluation of stevia's sweet and bitter glycosides.
- The HRIM method significantly increases sample throughput, accelerating the cycle of product development.
- HRIM's advanced technology differentiates closely related isomers and identifies novel compounds, offering a detailed understanding of stevia's complex flavor profile.
Results
• Achieved 5x faster data turnaround time
• Required 10x less consumable cost
• 50% less data analysis time
