Determination of Methylimidazole in Tea by High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry and Investigation of its Source
The proposed HRMS method mitigated the limitations commonly associated with conventional LC-MS approaches, Furthermore, the validated method was successfully employed to quantify MEI contents in tea subjected to various fermentation and roasting processes, thereby contributing to a better understanding of MEI's potential formation pathways.
