“…In determining the essential amino acid Phe, optical methods were used, respectively: colorimetry [22,23]. UV and IR spectrophotometry [24], fluorescence [25][26][27][28][29], enhanced fluorescence [30], chemiluminescence [31][32][33]; separation methods, such as: gas chromatography [34], capillary electrophoresis, HPLC-high performance liquid chromatography [22,[35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44]; spectroscopic methods: Raman spectroscopy [45,46], laser-assisted spectroscopy [47], UV-Vis spectroscopy and chemometry [48]; UV−Vis and surface-enhanced Raman scattering [49], nuclear magnetic resonance [50] and circular dichroism spectroscopy [51]; mass spectrometry [22,34,41,52], fluorimetry [53].…”
