DESCRIPTION:The goal of this monthly workshop is to provide a medium for di
 scussion for our faculty and students and allow them to be exposed to new 
 and exciting research in the field of mass spectrometry with a focus on fo
 od/nutrition/environment and agriculture. Held once a month from 12-1 pm o
 n a Wednesday\, we hope this will be an enlightening hour for all those wh
 o participate. \n\nOpen to everyone! Anyone interested in learning more ab
 out Mass Spectrometry and its applications will obtain a great deal from t
 hese monthly workshops.\n\nQuantitative analysis of resveratrol in wine by
  LC-UV-MS\n\nSpeaker: Dr. Alexander Wahba\, Department of Chemistry\, McGi
 ll University\n\nRed wine consumption has been publicized to possess healt
 h benefits such as a reduction of the risk of heart disease and protection
  from cancer. Scientists hypothesize that polyphenols in red wine rid the 
 body of harmful free radicals and play a part in its protective role. One 
 study showed drinking at least four glasses of red wine a week was associa
 ted with a 50% lower risk of prostate cancer in men. So\, does drinking an
 y red wine offer these types of health benefits? There is some debate in t
 he scientific community if one specific antioxidant\, trans-resveratrol\, 
 is the likely compound that offers these health benefits. If we are led to
  believe this is indeed the case\, the health benefit of a given red wine 
 should therefore depend on the levels of trans-resveratrol. Unfortunately\
 , wineries do not typically indicate the content of resveratrol in wine wh
 ich further complicates the matter. We therefore developed a quantitative 
 HPLC-DAD-MS method to measure the levels of resveratrol in wine. Our goal 
 was to determine which types of wine have a higher content of resveratrol.
  This presentation will discuss how we developed our method and the levels
  of resveratrol determined in local wines.\n\nFor more information: naushe
