ELECTROPHORESIS

Cover Picture: Electrophoresis 13' 2010

Issue no. 13 is a special issue on “Food and Beverage Analysis” comprising 23 contributions distributed over four distinct parts. Part I “presents six review papers, five of them are focused on the use of capillary electromigration techniques for detecting enantiomers, nucleosides, nucleotides, pesticides and contaminants in foods as well as foodborne pathogens”. The sixth review deals with the application of two-dimensional electrophoresis to investigate food allergens. A series of original contributions on the use of CE, CEC and MEKC in the analysis of food constituents are grouped in Part II. Part III presents “Works on the detection of genetically modified foods by CGE and the analysis of antibiotics and antioxidants by microemulsion electrokinetic chromatography”. Finally, Part IV is on the use of CE-MS to analyze endocrine disruptors and polyphenols in different food matrices, and on the speciation analysis of arsenic and selenium compounds in different foodstuffs by capillary electrophoresis-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry.
