Chiral electromigration methods in food analysis.
This review article addresses the different chiral capillary electrophoretic methods that are being used for the study and characterization of foods and food compounds (e.g., amino acids, organic acids, sugars, pesticides). An updated overview, including works published till December 2002, on the principal applications of enantioselective procedures together with their main advantages and drawbacks in food analysis is provided. Some anticipated applications of chiral electromigration methods in food characterization are also discussed.
