This work presents a revision of the main applications of capillary electromigration methods in food analysis and Foodomics. Articles that were published during the period February 2019-February 2021 are included. The work shows the multiple CE methods that have been developed and applied to analyze different types of molecules in foods. Namely, CE methods have been applied to analyze amino acids, biogenic amines, carbohydrates, chiral compounds, contaminants, DNAs, food additives, heterocyclic amines, lipids, secondary metabolites, peptides, pesticides, phenols, pigments, polyphenols, proteins, residues, toxins, vitamins, small organic and inorganic compounds, as well as other minor compounds. The last results on the use of CE for monitoring food interactions and food processing, including recent microchips developments and new applications of CE in Foodomics, are discussed too. The new procedures of CE to investigate food quality and safety, nutritional value, storage and bioactivity are also included in the present review work.

Hydrogels like agarose have long been used as sieving media for the electrophoresis-based analysis of biopolymers. During gelation, the individual agarose strands tend to form hydrogen-bond mediated double-helical structures, allowing thermal reversibility and adjustable pore sizes for molecular sieving applications. The addition of tetrahydroxyborate to the agarose matrix results in transitional chemical cross-linking, offering an additional pore size adjusting option.

Capillary electrophoresis (CE) has emerged as a relevant technique for protein and biopharmaceutical analysis, as it combines high separation efficiency, sensitivity, and versatility. The use of capillary coatings, including successive multiple ionic-polymer layers (SMILs), reduces interactions between analytes and the capillary, further improving the CE performance. Nevertheless, separations done on SMIL coatings rarely surpass 500 × 10 plates/m.

This review provides an overview of recent works focusing on the determination of amino acids (AAs) and peptides using capillary electrophoresis with contactless conductivity detection and ultraviolet (UV) detection, which is the most widespread detection in capillary electromigration techniques, without pre-capillary derivatization. Available options for the UV detection of these analytes, such as indirect detection, complexation with transition metal ions, and in-capillary derivatization are described. Developments in the field of direct detection of UV-absorbing AAs and peptides as well as progress in chiral separation are described.

Malaria is a serious public health problem, being an endemic disease in 84 countries, mainly in Africa. This review explores the application of capillary electrophoresis (CE) techniques for analyzing antimalarial drugs, highlighting methods from 2000 to 2023 for the analysis of pharmaceutical formulations and human biological samples. The versatility, selectivity, high efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and high analytical frequency of CE techniques have become attractive choices for pharmaceutical analysis, focusing on quality control and impurity analysis applications.

Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is a powerful separation technique offering quick and efficient analyses in various fields of bioanalytical chemistry. It is characterized by many well-known advantages, but one, which is perhaps the most important for this application field, is somewhat overlooked. It is the possibility to perform chemical and biochemical reactions at the nL scale inside the separation capillary.
