Laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (LDI-MSI) with gold nanoparticle-enhanced target (AuNPET) was used for visualization of small molecules in the rhubarb stalk (Rheum rhabarba-rum L.). Analysis was focused on spatial distribution of biologically active compounds which are found in rhubarb species. Detected compounds belong to a very wide range of chemical compound classes such as anthraquinone derivatives and their glucosides, stilbenes, anthocyanins, flavonoids, polyphenols, organic acids, chromenes, chromanones, chromone glycosides and vitamins. The analysis of the spatial distribution of these compounds in rhubarb stalk with the nanoparticle-rich surface of AuNPET target plate has been made without additional matrix and with minimal sample preparation steps.
