Chromatographic Methods for the Analysis of Melamine and Analogs in Food and Food Contact Materials

Abstract

Abstract: Residues of melamine and its analogs in food and food contact materials have attracted extensive attentions. In this article, sample extraction, liquid chromatography analysis and matrix effect for the analysis of melamine and its analogs have been reviewed. These investigations will provide the useful references for the research and establishment of the limitation value of malemine and its analogs in the field of food in China.
