Abstract
Electrophoretic approaches are increasingly used for the determination of
food additives in real samples based on the easy operation modes and enhanced
separation efficiency of Capillary Electrophoresis (CE). This chapter presents a
summary of recent breakthroughs related to the development of different analytical
strategies focused on enhancing the study of food samples and reviews the
determination of food additives by CE, including some promising approaches. The
effectiveness of these strategies to solve alimentary issues is also discussed.
