In this study, a simplified workflow utilizing REIMS and an electric soldering iron was developed for authenticating leather samples. A chemometric model based on authentic leather samples was created to classify commercial leather samples in real-time, with scanning electron microscopy used to characterize leather microstructures. This study is expected to provide a high-throughput tool for authenticating leather and other biogenic consumer products with superior efficiency and accuracy.
Increasing accounts of fraud and persistent labeling problems have brought the authenticity of leather products into question. In this study, we developed an extremely simplified workflow for real-time, in situ, and unambiguous authentication of leather samples using rapid evaporative ionization mass spectrometry (REIMS) coupled with an electric soldering iron. Initially, authentic leather samples from cattle, sheep, pig, deer, ostrich, crocodile, and snake were used to create a chemometric model based on principal component analysis and linear discriminant analysis algorithms. The validated multivariate statistical model was then used to analyze and generate live classifications of commercial leather samples. In addition to REIMS analysis, the microstructures of leathers were characterized by scanning electron microscopy to provide complementary information. The current study is expected to provide a high-throughput tool with superior efficiency and accuracy for authenticating the identity of leathers and other consumer products of biogenic origin.
