Molecules, Vol. 23, Pages 1484: A Review of the Extraction and Determination Methods of Thirteen Essential Vitamins to the Human Body: An Update from 2010 Molecules doi: 10.3390/molecules23061484 Authors: Yuan Zhang Wei-e Zhou Jia-qing Yan Min Liu Yu Zhou Xin Shen Ying-lin Ma Xue-song Feng Jun Yang Guo-hui Li Vitamins are a class of essential nutrients in the body; thus, they play important roles in human health. The chemicals are involved in many physiological functions and both their lack and excess can put health at risk. Therefore, the establishment of methods for monitoring vitamin concentrations in different matrices is necessary. In this review, an updated overview of the main pretreatments and determination methods that have been used since 2010 is given. Ultrasonic assisted extraction, liquid–liquid extraction, solid phase extraction and dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction are the most common pretreatment methods, while the determination methods involve chromatography methods, electrophoretic methods, microbiological assays, immunoassays, biosensors and several other methods. Different pretreatments and determination methods are discussed.
