Description
Quantitation of Amino Acids and Amines by Chromatography: Methods and Protocols is intended to serve as a ready-to-use guide for the identification
and quantification of amino acids and amines in various matrices, providing an overview on the theory and protocol of available methods.
It presents chromatograms with exact elution programs enabling visual analysis and compares the advantages-disadvantages of various chromatographic
techniques. In accordance with the chronological order of the development of chromatographic methods, different techniques are discussed:
The possibilities of gas chromatography (GC), followed by those of the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the most recent
techniques capillary electrophoresis (CE), capillary, electrochromatography (CEC).
The characteristics of the given chromatographic
procedure, relating to the topic in question, are classified according to the preliminary preparation/derivatization process(es), which
means the simple methods, suitable for the analysis of the selected compound(s) in natural form, are followed by various derivatization
proposals. Detailed protocols provide the reader with guidance in beginning tasks and on how to improve current methods. This book appeals
to a wide audience and is recommended for those looking towards the wider reaches of identification and quantification of amino acids
and amines.
