Application of the sensomics concept on dried scallops, a Japanese specialty produced from the adductor muscle of scallops, revealed after activity-guided fractionation with subsequent (comparative) taste dilution analyses besides nucleotides, amino acids, organic acids, and inorganic ions, the presence of taste-modulating quaternary ammonium compounds and opines in highly taste-active fractions. In order to recreate the taste of dried scallops, two independent quantitation approaches were applied and compared. The first approach used multiple targeted UHPLC-MS/MS and high-performance ion chromatog. methods. Besides already established quantitation methods for basic taste compounds, a new HILIC-UHPLC-MS/MSMRM method for the quantitation of chromatog. challenging opines, using synthesized stable isotope-labeled standards, was developed. Furthermore, a qHNMR approach was applied, enabling a direct identification and quantitation of organic taste compounds in a food extract without prior fractionation using a reference 1H NMR database. Both methods yielded similar quant. results of taste-active compounds in dried scallop extracts and subsequent taste recombination experiments based on these data were able to recreate the taste of dried scallops.
