In this study, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) was used to analyze flavonoid C-glycosides isolated from lotus plumule. It was found that in negative ionization mode, flavonoid C-glycosides with hexose substitution experienced cross-ring cleavages of sugar moiety, characterized by loss of a series of neutral fragments (90 u, 120 u, 150 u) which distinguished markedly with flavonoid O-glycosides. Flavonoid O-glycosides with one hexose substitution lost sugar moiety (162 u) directly. Although the types of hexose could not be directly differentiated by MS method, it could be solved by means of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) due to their different retention times. For flavonoid O-diglycosides, main fragment ions were derived from the loss of sugar moiety (146 u, 162 u, 308 u) and the types and the linkage information of disaccharide could be differentiated by the fragment ions and its relative abundance in the MS spectra. Not only can differential MS fragmentation patterns of flavonoid C-glycosides and flavonoid O-glycosides be very helpful to the rapid identification of flavonoids from lotus plumule, but can also enable the better differentiation of isomers of flavonoids from lotus plumule.
