“…Thermogravimetric techniques have been largely applied to complex matrix as analytical tool that does not require sample pretreatment nor clean-up (Toth et al, 2010;Fonseca et al, 2012;Materazzi et al, 2015Materazzi et al, , 2017aPapadopoulos et al, 2016;Risoluti et al, 2016bRisoluti et al, , 2017Bach and Chen, 2017;Catauro et al, 2018) and permits to rapidly obtain both qualitative and quantitative outcomes (Skreiberg et al, 2011;Materazzi et al, 2014a,b;Napoli et al, 2014;Shan-Yang et al, 2015;Marcilla et al, 2017). Recently, a novel approach based on the association of thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and chemometrics has been proposed in different fields (Pappa et al, 2003;Khanmohammadi et al, 2012;Caramés-Alfaya et al, 2013;Chauhan et al, 2020), including the investigation of biological samples for clinical analysis (Risoluti et al, 2016a(Risoluti et al, , 2018aMaterazzi et al, 2017a).…”
