Nowadays, there is a growing need for applications in food control and safety analysis to cope with the analysis of a large number of analytes in a very complex matrix. New analytical procedures are demanding sensitivity, robustness, effectiveness and high resolution within a reduced analysis time. Most of these requirements may be met to a certain extent by the total or partial automation of the conventional analytical methods, including sample preparation or sample pre-treatment coupled on-line to an analytical system. Despite the advances in chromatographic separations and mass spectrometry techniques, sample preparation is still one of the most important parts in any analytical method development and an effective sample preparation is essential for achieving good analytical results. Obviously, ideal sample preparation methods should be fast, accurate, precise and must keep sample integrity. For this reason, and over the last years, considerable efforts have been made to develop modern approaches in sample treatment techniques that enable the reduction of the analysis time without compromising the integrity of the extraction process. The aim of this book is to discuss new trends in sample preparation techniques applied to food analysis, and it will address not only the principles of each technique, but the most relevant applications in food control and safety analysis published over the few last years.

Dr Oscar Nunez studied chemistry at the University of Barcelona where he also received his PhD in 2004. He worked as visiting researcher for half a year in the development of on-line preconcentration methods micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) at University of Hyogo (Japan) in collaboration with Professor Terabe (father of MEKC technique). Starting from October 2005, he joined Kyoto Institute of Technology (Japan) as a two-year post-doc researcher working with Professor Tanaka developing monolithic silica capillary columns under a fellowship from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science. In November 2007 he joined again University of Barcelona working in the Chromatography, Capillary Electrophoresis and Mass Spectrometry (CCEMS) research group. Currently, he is a Serra Hunter Professor at Department of Analytical Chemistry since December 2014. He has more than seventy scientific papers and book chapters to his name, and he is editor of one book on LC-MS/MS. He has extensive experience in the development of capillary electrophoresis and liquid chromatography methods coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (CE-MS/MS and LC-MS/MS), as well as sample treatment procedures for environmental and food sample analysis. His major research areas also include the characterization, classification and authentication of natural products in the prevention of frauds.
