Abstract: 

This chapter introduces the role of high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) in the field of food analysis. HPTLC is well suited to food analysis as shown by many interesting examples analyzed with validated and standardized methods leading to results comparable to those obtained by other chromatographic techniques. Advances in automation and hyphenation made this inexpensive technique attractive for many issues in food analysis. For screening of food for bioactive compounds, residues, or contaminants, the direct detection with a bioassay (effect-directed analysis) widens the analyte range when compared to target analysis. Taking into consideration some of HPTLC's advantages like flexibility, matrix robustness, or cost- and time-effectiveness, it is surprising that quantitative HPTLC is not used more often.
