Employing a uniform, easy-to-use format, Vitamin Analysis for the
Health and Food Sciences, Second Edition provides the most current
information on the methods of vitamin analysis applicable to foods,
supplements, and pharmaceuticals. Highlighting the rapid
advancement of vitamin assay methodology, this edition emphasizes
the use of improved and sophisticated instrumentation including the
recent applications and impact of the widely adopted LC-MS.
Designed as a bench reference, this volume gives you the tools to
make efficient and correct decisions regarding the appropriate
analytical approach--saving time and effort in the lab.
Each chapter is devoted to a particular vitamin and begins with
a brief review of its uniqueness and its role in metabolism. The
authors stress a thorough understanding of the chemistry of each
compound in order to effectively analyze it and to this end provide
the chemical structure and nomenclature of each vitamin, along with
tabular information on spectral properties. They supply extensive
insight into practical problem-solving including an awareness of
the stability of vitamins and their extraction from different
biological matrices. All information is heavily documented with the
latest scientific papers and organized into easily read tables
covering topics necessary for accurate analytical results.
After presenting the chemistry and biochemistry of the vitamin,
each chapter details the commonly used analytical and regulatory
methods. A summary table gives at-a-glance information on many of
these sources, as well as several of the AOAC International
Methods. In addition the authors apply their extensive experience
in the field to create a critical, interpretive review of the
advanced methods of vitamin analysis with sufficient detail to be a
valuable guide to cutting-edge methodology.
