PHYSICOCHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION, ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY AND FINGERPRINTS OF INDUSTRIALIZED “DETOX” MIXED BEVERAGES BY PAPER SPRAY MASS SPECTROMETRY

The objective of this work was to determine the chemical composition, total phenolic compounds content, antioxidant capacity through the ABTS (2,20-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) method, as well as to evaluate the use of paper spray ionization mass spectrometry (PS-MS) to obtain fingerprints in different brands of mixed industrialized beverage based on fruits and vegetables with “detox” denomination. The carbohydrate contents ranged from 4.17% (sample D) to 12.72% (sample G). The differences may be related to the composition and proportion of the ingredients present in e...
