Abstract
Vitamins are a series of trace compounds obtained from food that play
important roles in human health. Vitamin analysis is essential for nutritional
assessment and food production. A comprehensive overview of capillary
electrophoresis for vitamins analysis is given. This chapter includes papers published
since 1996 and can be seen as a guidance note of vitamins analysis using capillary
electrophoresis. The analyses are discussed for water-soluble vitamins and fat-soluble
vitamins according to different separation modes. In addition, various sample
pretreatment methods avoiding matrix interferences with the analysis of vitamins are
also described. Articles pertaining to different vitamins from a variety of food and
beverages, dietary supplements, and pharmaceutical samples are included. This chapter
highlights the unique performance of capillary electrophoresis for the qualitative
analysis of vitamins in food.
