The invention discloses a method for determining
mangiferin in a
mango extract, and belongs to the technical field of
plant detection. The determination method comprises the following steps: firstly, ionizing sample ions from a target material, enabling at least part of the sample ions to enter a mobility
pool, capturing the sample ions to generate
mass spectrum data, and extracting first sampling data and second sampling data from the
mass spectrum data; according to the method, the
mangiferin and other
xanthone derivatives in the
mango extract are separated according to a mobility
pool, and then the content of the
mangiferin is determined through flight
mass spectrometry. According to the method, the migration interval of the to-be-detected component is adjusted according to the actually measured
signal peak, the corresponding sampling data is intercepted from the migration interval, and then the
electric field parameters are adjusted, so that the
signal peak interval is prevented from being too small, the mangiferin and other
xanthone derivatives can be distinguished, and the
testability of the sampling data is ensured.
