Analysis of Food Additives by Capillary Electrophoresis

Electrophoretic approaches are increasingly used for the determination of food additives in real samples based on the easy operation modes and enhanced separation efficiency of Capillary Electrophoresis (CE). This chapter presents a summary of recent breakthroughs related to the development of different analytical strategies focused on enhancing the study of food samples and reviews the determination of food additives by CE, including some promising approaches. The effectiveness of these strategies to solve alimentary issues is also discussed.
