ABSTRACT
The applications of capillary electrophoresis (CE) to food analysis are reviewed in this chapter. However, before discussing its applications to food analysis, sections describing briefly the principles and theory of CE and its instrumentation are discussed as detailed descriptions are beyond the scope of this book. CE is a relatively modern separation technique characterized by high efficiency, low consumption of samples and reagents (and considered a clean analytical technique), and high versatility. This separation technique has shown excellent potential in the analysis of foods, the development of more applications being expected in the near future.
