Simple capillary electrophoresis with UV-detection method (CE-UV) was optimized and validated for determination of amino acids.
Several parameters (pH, temperature, reaction time and NBD-Cl concentration) affects derivatization procedure were optimized.
The method was validated in terms of limit of detection (LOD), linearity, accuracy and precision and successfully applied for the determination of amino acids in Sudanese food samples.
The measured asparagine concentration in food samples were correlated with concentration of acrylamide in food final product measured in our previous study.
