“…However, both the colorimetric and spectrophotometric methods (i) are time consuming, (ii) make use of toxic or anyhow hazardous chemicals, (iii) require a strict control of both reaction time and temperature, since the instability of the reaction product may lead to low recoveries and wide statistical variations of the results and (iv) none of the methods is specific [3][4][5][7][8][9][10]12,[21][22][23]. Consequently, several chromatographic methods were developed that allow the determination of the individual carbonyls by paper chromatography [24,25], classical liquid-liquid partition chromatography [26], thin-layer chromatography [27], gas chromatography [28][29][30] or high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) [22,31]. These methods are less time consuming, offer improved accuracy, sensitivity and specificity as compared to the colorimetric and spectrophotometric procedures and utilize less hazardous reagents [4,9,10,21].…”
