PG - 275-83 LID - 10.1016/j.carres.2009.10.009 [doi] AB - MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry analyses of several oligosaccharides (aldoses) and oligosaccharide alditols derived from agaroses, kappa- and iota-carrageenans using different matrices (2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid, nor-harmane, ferulic acid, and the ionic liquid matrices 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid-n-butylamine and ferulic acid-n-butylamine) were conducted. These carbohydrates were selected as model compounds to study the MALDI prompt and post-source decay (PSD) fragmentation processes of both families of oligosaccharides. Sulfated alditols showed in the negative-ion mode the molecular ion as [M-Na](-) together with the species yielded by their prompt fragmentation (mainly desulfation) while the sulfated oligosaccharides (aldoses) showed mainly glycosidic prompt fragmentation (glycosidic C-cleavages and desulfation). Non-sulfated aldoses and alditols, which could only be analyzed in positive-ion mode ([M+Na](+)), did not suffer any prompt fragmentation. The former yielded cross-ring fragmentation in the PSD mode. Best results were obtained by using 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid and/or nor-harmane as matrices for all the compounds studied. CI - 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
