Abstract
In recent years, foods have served an increasingly significant role in maintaining health and improving quality of life (QOL). As a result, food analysis methods are used to analyze a wide diversity of target substances, ranging from
substances with nutritional and functional benefits to harmful substances, such as residual pesticides, PFAS, and natural toxins. Despite rapid advancements in sample preparation techniques and analytical instruments that improve the efficiency of sample preparation and analysis operations and reduce the labor required, analyzing the corresponding data often remains a bottleneck. Consequently, as the growing interest in food continues to increase the number of target components and samples that need to be analyzed, managing the greater burden on operators and the variety of risks associated with that increase has become a significant challenge. Peakintelligence is software developed using AI technology to improve the labor and process efficiency of peak integration operations. When applied to LC-MS/MS measurement results, it improved usability and required less time for data analysis than the conventional algorithm.
Additionally, by minimizing operator tasks, the software helps avoid human-related risks, such as operator errors and variability in results.
