Ceramide 2-aminoethylphosphonate (CAEP) is a type of phosphonosphingolipids with potential trophic activity. In this work, complicated CAEP species from different aquatic products were comprehensively identified and semi-quantified by utilizing normal phase liquid chromatography/Q-Exactive mass spectrometry (NPLC/Q-Exactive-MS). We elucidated the fragment schemes of CAEP molecules and found the presence of methylated CAEP (Me-CAEP) species. Remarkably, quantitative results revealed that Loligo chinensis had the highest CAEP content of 4.9 ± 0.4 mg/g dry weight and the most complex molecular species composition, whereas Asterias amurenis had the lowest CAEP content of 1.9 ± 0.6 mg/g dry weight. The most common molecule was CAEP (d19:3-16:0). Additionally, statistical analysis revealed that five aquatic products can be effectively distinguished from their CAEP species; thus, CAEP molecules can play an important role in identifying processed products from aquatic products.
神经酰胺 2-氨基乙基膦酸酯 (CAEP) 是一种具有潜在营养活性的磷酸神经鞘脂。本工作利用正相液相色谱/高分辨 Q-Exactive 质谱联用技术(NPLC/Q-Exactive-MS)对不同水产食品中的复杂 CAEP 进行了全面鉴定和半定量分析。阐明了 CAEP 分子的碎裂规律,发现了甲基化 CAEP(Me-CAEP)的存在。值得注意的是,定量结果表明,中国枪乌贼的 CAEP 含量最高,为 4.9±0.4mg/g 干重,且分子种类最复杂;而星突江鲽的 CAEP 含量最低,为 1.9±0.6mg/g 干重。最常见的分子是 CAEP(d19:3-16:0)。此外,统计分析表明,五种水产食品可以通过其 CAEP 种类有效区分,因此,CAEP 分子在识别水产加工产品方面可能发挥着重要作用。
