The Role Of HPTLC In Food Analysis
Why Is It Challenging To Analyze Food Samples? As food/ food components are very complex in nature, analysis of foods is a very challenging sector. Food samples often come with heavy matrices due to the presence of primary metabolites like carbohydrates, lipids and proteins. Besides this, there may be other complex components which may interfere with the analyte of interest. A number of analytical instruments are used for the analysis of food samples. If we talk about chromatography, instruments like HPTLC, HPLC and GC are most commonly used depending on the aim/type of analysis. HPTLC technique can be used not just for traditional food samples but also for recent categories of food samples like functional foods, nutraceuticals and dietary samples. The Role Of HPTLC In Food Analysis CAMAG HPTLC , a very flexible, cost-effective and fast technique is very useful for the analysis of food samples. Validated HPTLC methods fulfil the requirements for reliable food analysis in many food fi
