Introduction In the world of laboratory analysis, precision, and efficiency are paramount. High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) has emerged as a cornerstone technique, enabling scientists to accurately separate, identify, and quantify components within a sample. This article will explore HPLC and why it has become an indispensable tool in laboratories across various industries. What is HPLC? […]
Mycotoxins are harmful secondary metabolites produced by certain fungi, which affect a broad range of crops and food goods. Hundreds of these toxic compounds have been discovered and characterized to date – although their toxic effects vary dramatically. Around a dozen distinct mycotoxins have been linked to severe long-term health effects where they have propagated […]
Artificial flavorings serve an important purpose when a natural alternative is difficult to produce or costly to source. Despite their commercial merits, however, such additives are often vilified as poor quality or ‘fake’ derivatives of the real thing. There is an element of truth in that: synthetic flavors derive from the chemical structure of the […]
Liquid chromatography (LC) is a well-known extraction methodology which is widely utilized in the analysis of solutions, where the primary objective is to detect and quantify contaminant elements. The basic premise of liquid chromatography revolves around the separation of a solution’s constituents by their ionic or molecular properties. This separation occurs when the sample is strategically injected into an LC column containing […]
High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has emerged as an essential tool for food analysis in the intensifying world of industrial agriculture. Intensive farming is subject to strict product quality and regulatory standards. This ensures that crops are free of contaminants, within acceptable limits, and are nutritionally valuable to a worldwide market. The underlying dichotomy of health […]
Food fraud is a broad term that refers to any deliberate effort to compromise the quality of consumer products by intentional addition of sub-par ingredients, substitution for another product, misrepresentation of ingredients or qualities, or general tampering. It is an unusual form of adulteration that has been at the heart of numerous food-chain scandals since […]
High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is unique among analytical instrumentation in that the method is fundamentally defined by the nature of distinct analytes per application.
