Abstract
This review paper critically examines the current state of research concerning the analysis and derivatization of aldehyde, aromatic hydrocarbons and carboxylic acids components in foods and drinks samples, with a specific focus on the application of Chromatographic techniques. These diverse components, as vital contributors to the sensory attributes of food, necessitate accurate and sensitive analytical methods for their identification and quantification, which is crucial for ensuring food safety and compliance with regulatory standards. In this paper, High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Gas Chromatographic (GC) methods for the separation, identification, and quantification of aldehydes in complex food matrices were reviewed. In addition, the review explores derivatization strategies employed to enhance the detectability and stability of aldehydes during chromatographic analysis. Derivatization methods, when applied judiciously, improve separation efficiency and increase detection sensitivity, thereby ensuring a more accurate and reliable quantification of aldehyde aromatic hydrocarbons and carboxylic acids species in food samples. Furthermore, methodological aspects encompassing sample preparation, chromatographic separation, and derivatization techniques are discussed. Validation was carried out in term of limit of detections are highlighted as crucial elements in achieving accurate quantification of compounds content. The discussion presented by emphasizing the significance of the combined HPLC and GC chromatography methods, along with derivatization strategies, in advancing the analytical capabilities within the realm of food science.
