METHODS A modified data filtering strategy (including locating with drift time and m/z ranges, multiple mass defect filtering, validating MS information, and evaluating MS/MS spectra) was developed and applied for procyanidins in the grape seed extracts (GSE) using drift tube ion mobility-mass spectrometry. The procyanidin ions' trendlines were predicted by multi-model regression. Their collision cross-sections (CCSs) were calculated using single-field methods. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Totally, 769 CCSs belonging to 686 procyanidins with polymer degrees at 1-15 were characterized. The exponent regression was the most reasonable model (r2 ≥ 0.9379) to reveal the trendlines. The change tendency of CCSs with their polymer degrees, charge states, and linkage types were investigated. CONCLUSION This study provided an innovative strategy for targeted characterization of polymers in complex matrixes. Impacts of 2-butanol and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) at various ratios and treatment times on bitterness, physicochemical and functional properties of Alcalase salmon frame protein hydrolysate (ASF) were investigated. ASF treated with 2-butanol at a ratio of 14 (w/v) for 20 min (ASFB) or with β-CD at a ratio of 11 (w/w) for 30 min (ASF-C-1) had lower bitterness score than ASF (p less then 0.05). Bitterness score of ASF (8.45) was reduced to the lowest score (1.32) when ASFB was subsequently treated with β-CD at a 11 ratio (w/w) for 30 min (ASFB-C-1). Surface hydrophobicity of all debittered samples was lower than that of ASF sample (p less then 0.05). The level of aromatic amino acids-containing peptides was reduced in ASFB-C-1 as shown by gel permeation chromatography. ASFB-C-1 sample had higher overall-likeness scor
