LC-HR-MS/MS is the predominant analytical technique in phenolic compound (PC) research. However, the manual interpretation of mass spectra is a heavy nontrivial time-consuming task and depends on mass spectrometry and phenolic compounds fragmentation deep knowledge. We think this manual approach should be partially translated into a practical software that allows users to perform such complicated analyses. In silico fragmentation software have been tested for small molecule identification, MS-FINDER and SIRIUS stood out at identification contests and challenges. We evaluated both software to identify PC from two data categories: 1
