Food analysis chromatography

Capillary electrophoresis is increasingly used in food analysis due to its separation performance combined with the short time of analysis. - CapiUary electrophoresis recently applied to colorant measurements includes technical variants such as capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) and micellar electrokinetic chromatography. ...

It should be kept in mind that most analytical instruments, such as gas chromatographs and mass spectrometers, do not discriminate between volatile compounds that do or do not possess odor activity. Some form of sensory analysis must be conducted in order to select which volatile compounds contribute to the flavor of the foods. Gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC/O) is an important tool to accomplish that task.

Nonetheless, adsorption or reversed-phase chromatography may also play an important role in this characterization, provided that the correct choice of derivatization procedures is carried out. Some development work is needed, but—as in other areas of food analysis—HPLC has a lot to offer and will probably do in the near future. 

In food analysis, sensitivity is not the only requirement for analytical method development. Besides confirmation of the identity of pesticides, the identification of nontarget analytes is also important. One powerful tool is LC/MS, especially when it is combined with appropiate sample-treatment procedures it allows one to obtain detection limits adequate for trace-level analysis. Liquid chromatography-MS has demonstrated that it is an effective way to obtain both qualitative and quantitative information. 

Many excellent discussions of natural occurrence, structure, characterization, and analysis of phenolic compounds are available in the literature, and a series of books devoted to flavonoid chemistry has also been published. Detailed discussions on various chromatographic modes, including HPLC, GC, column chromatography (CC), capillary electrophoresis (CE), PC, and TLC, of simple phenolics and polyphenols are also presented in the recent book, Handbook of Food Analysis, volume 1, edited by Nollet (1). Due to their diversity and the chemical complexity of phenolic compounds, this chapter is limited to phenolic compounds that are considered to be important to foods and the food industry.

Chromatography techniques with different detectors followed by skillful sample preparation are usually applied to quantify these antioxidants in natural sources. These techniques offer sensitive and specific analysis methods for most of the antioxidants. This is the first book that particularly covers and summarizes the details of sample preparation procedures and methods developed to identify and quantify various types of natural antioxidants in plants and food products. In the book, the principle of quantification methods for natural antioxidant-rich phytochemicals is introduced and current methods used in the determination of antioxidants in different sources are reviewed and summarized by experts in the field. As a handbook of analysis of natural antioxidant-rich phytochemicals, the book provides useful information for many researchers in this area to learn ideal analysis methods for the antioxidants they are examining. The book may also serve as a lecture resource for courses in food analysis, functional foods, and nutrition. 

In addition to food analysis, the environment is monitored to measure the degree of contamination that might be caused by the use of pesticides. These projects entail sampling of wild life, water sources, and soils. Wealthy countries can utilize highly sophisticated and expensive equipment, such as gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry, for residue determination and identification. However, since there is inter-...
