“…Simultaneous determination of microbial‐derived aromatic acids in biological specimens is challenging. So far, numerous analytical methods have been developed to quantify the microbial‐derived metabolites in various biological fluids, including LC coupled with the detection of ultraviolet (Beldean‐Galea, Jandera, & Hodisan, 2008), diode array (Gonthier et al, 2003a; Nováková, Spáčil, Seifrtová, Opletal, & Solich, 2010), or tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS; Gasperotti, Masuero, Guella, Mattivi, & Vrhovsek, 2014; Gonthier, Rios, Verny, Rémésy, & Scalbert, 2003b; Margalef, Pons, Muguerza, & Arola‐Arnal, 2014); and GC–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) (Liu, Kushnir, Roberts, & Pasquali, 2004; Ordóñez et al, 2018; Paprotny, Celejewska, Frajberg, & Wianowska, 2019). Traditionally, LC–ultraviolet and LC–diode array show features of weak sensitivity and poor selectivity, which restrict their use in detecting low‐concentration metabolites (Nováková et al, 2010).…”
