Abstract
RATIONALE: Flavonoids are phenolic compounds with many health-benefiting properties. However, differentiating different types of flavonoids and their isomers is challenging due to their highly similar structures of various subtypes and different numbers and sites of substituents. Timely quality evaluation of flavonoid-based products is currently almost impossible. METHODS: An ambient ionization method of direct analysis in real time (DART) ion source and tandem mass spectrometry (MS) was used to characterize the fine structures of flavonoids. Different flavonoid subtypes and their isomers with varied numbers and sites of substituents were subjected to DART ionization and collision-induced fragmentation MS analysis. RESULTS: fragments through DART-tandem MS, enabling direct identification of various isomers within mixtures. An identification workflow was developed, culminating in the creation of a computational tool called FlavoFinder, which automatically determines flavonoid aglycone subtypes and their isomeric structures. CONCLUSIONS: The method and the structural elucidation program were successfully used for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of different flavonoid isomers from real samples. The analysis procedure is high-throughput and is capable of characterizing complex flavonoid structures without extensive sample pretreatment and front-end chromatographic separations.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
