“…Literature of the last two decades reveals several analytical methods for the determination of AMD in animal tissues [8] , [9] , [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] , [14] , biological fluids like plasma [15] , [16] , [17] , [18] , [19] , [20] , [21] , [22] , [23] and urine [22] , [23] and also in processed food samples [14] . These methods have utilized different analytical techniques like spectrophotometry [19] , capillary electrophoresis [15] , immunochromatography [13] , micellar electrokinetic chromatography [21] , ion mobility spectrometry [22] , gas chromatography with flame ionization detector [23] , high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with ultraviolet [18] and fluorescence detection [16] , liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) [14] , [17] , [20] , ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC–MS/MS) [9] , [10] , [11] , [12] and ultra high performance liquid chromatography coupled to high resolution LTQ orbitrap mass spectrometry [8] . However, as AMD does not possess any chromophoric group, a majority of these methods require prior derivatization for sample preparation which is tedious, cumbersome and time consuming.…”
