In this work, fruit juices have been analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to measure whole amino acid profiles for various fruit types. The fruit juice authentication capabilities of whole amino acid profiles employed in various multivariate analysis methods including principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares (PLS) analysis have been investigated. PCA of the profiles exhibited a good separation of most fruit types and were validated using quality control samples.
