Rapid Detection of Antibiotic Mycelial Dregs Adulteration in Single-Cell Protein Feed by HS-GC-IMS and Chemometrics

Single-cell protein feed (SCPF) is an important supplement to protein feed materials, but its authenticity is often affected by antibiotic mycelial dregs (AMD). Headspace-gas chromatography–ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS), integrated with chemometrics, was utilized to differentiate nucleotide...

description Single-cell protein feed (SCPF) is an important supplement to protein feed materials, but its authenticity is often affected by antibiotic mycelial dregs (AMD). Headspace-gas chromatography–ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS), integrated with chemometrics, was utilized to differentiate nucleotide residue (NR), three AMDs, and adulterated samples with concentrations ranging from 0.1% to 20% (<i>w</i>/<i>w</i>). Orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) and principal component analysis (PCA) were applied to classify the adulterated samples. In addition, the feasibility of quantitative analysis of the AMDs content in adulterated SCPF based on partial least squares regression (PLSR) algorithm. In total, 88 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were detected. The differences in VOCs between NR and AMD mainly came from aldehydes, alcohols, and esters. The OPLS-DA models effectively identified AMD in adulterated NR samples (Accuracy = 100%), demonstrating the HS-GC-IMS data’s good application potential for the SCPF adulteration. Nine VOCs, i.e., 2-ethyl-3-methylpyrazine, dihydro-5-methyl-2(3H)-furanone, 2-methylpropanol, (E,E)-2,4-heptadienal, linalool, 2,3,5-trimethylpyrazine, citronellol, acetoin, and 3-methylbutan-1-ol, were proposed as key markers for detecting NR adulterated with AMDs. The PLSR algorithm was further used to determine the AMD content in NR (<i>R</i><sup>2</sup><sub>cal</sub> = 0.96, <i>R</i><sup>2</sup><sub>cv</sub> = 0.94). This study validated HS-GC-IMS’s ability to analyze volatile organic compounds in feed and showcased its utility as a convenient, quick, and affordable tool for SCPF authenticity screening.
