Capillary electrophoresis‐mass spectrometry in food analysis

Abstract

This work provides an updated overview (including works published till June 2004) on the principal applications of capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) together with their main advantages and drawbacks in food science. Thus, analysis of amino acids, peptides, proteins, carbohydrates, or polyphenols by CE-MS in different foods is reviewed. Also, other natural compounds (e.g., alkaloids) and toxins analyzed by CE-MS in foods are revised. Moreover, exogenous substances with a potential risk for human health (e.g., pesticides, drugs) detected in foods by CE-MS are included in this work. The usefulness of CE-MS for food analysis and the information that this coupling can provide in terms of processing, composition, authenticity, quality, or safety of foods is also discussed.

Recent advances in the application of capillary electromigration methods for food analysis

“…Several reviews have been published on the application of CE methods in food analysis in the last three years, which is a good demonstration of the possibilities of this technique in this particular field. Table 1 summarizes the different reviews published on this topic [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19], including the aforementioned review by Frazier and Papadopoulou [1].…”

Capillary electrophoresis of proteins 2003–2005

“…Identification of cultivars, quality control, and also identification of adulteration of food are the most popular applications of CE of proteins in this field [219].…”

Eletroforese capilar acoplada à espectrometria de massas (CE-MS): vinte anos de desenvolvimento

“…2,69,84,112 A extração em fase sólida previamente à análise por CE-MS contribui para o aumento da detectabilidade dos métodos de análise de alimentos, como leite de soja, 118 pêssego, nectarina, 119 sucos de uva e laranja. 120 Um estudo envolvendo a avaliação de diferentes métodos de hidrólises da proteína albumina soro bovina (BSA -bovine serum albumin) usando CE-MS para análise dos aminoácidos resultantes mostrou a utilidade e aplicabilidade da técnica, empregando a castanha do pará como amostra real. 121 Na Tabela 1 é mostrado um panorama geral das principais aplicações de CE-MS em proteoma, metaboloma, separações enantioméricas, forenses, ambientais e clínicas.…”
