%0 Journal Article %T Current Trends in Fully Automated On-Line Analytical Techniques for Beverage Analysis %A Fernando M. Lan£¿as %A Karen Mej¨ªa-Carmona %A Marcela Jordan-Sinisterra %J - %D 2019 %R https://doi.org/10.3390/beverages5010013 %X Abstract The determination of target analytes in complex matrices such as beverages requires a series of analytical steps to obtain a reliable analysis. This critical review presents the current trends in sample preparation techniques based on solid phase extraction miniaturization, automation and on-line coupling. Techniques discussed include solid-phase extraction (SPE), solid-phase microextraction (SPME), in-tube solid-phase microextraction (in-tube SPME) and turbulent-flow chromatography (TFC). Advantages and limitations, as well as several of their main applications in beverage samples are discussed. Finally, fully automated on-line systems that involve extraction, chromatographic separation, and tandem mass spectrometry in one-step are introduced and critically reviewed.
