Fukushima Prefecture has produced a lot of asparagus (Asparagus officinalis). We visualized the localization of rutin and asparaptine A as a functional component in heat cooked asparagus sample, using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry imaging (MSI). Rutin was less affected by heat cooking although asparaptine A was less intense in the cooked asparagus compared to the raw sample. Visualizing the composition of cooked vegetables using MALDI-MSI will be useful for future research on functional components.
