“…The last decade has seen the commercialization of a large number of chiral stationary phases (CSP) including cyclodextrin (Armstrong and DeMond, 1984;Ward and Armstrong, 1988), interaction (Pirkle et al, 1982;Pirkle and Murray, 1990), protein (Hermansson and Eriksson, 1986;Schill et al, 1986), cellulosic and amylosic phases (Okamoto et al, 1988;Isaksson et al, 1990). The importance of carbohydrates to chiral recognition may be inferred not only from the enantioselectivities exhibited by cyclodextrin-, amylosic-and cellulosic-derived phases but also the fact that two of the protein CSP, the ␣ 1 -acid glycoprotein and the ovomucoid phases, incorporate significant carbohydrate moieties (Iredale et al, 1991).…”
