Recent developments in high-performance capillary electrophoresis of cereal proteins.

Cereal proteins play important nutritional and functional roles in human foods and are also important components of animal feeds. As such, cereals are a major economic factor around the world. Because of their importance, cereal proteins have been widely studied. A new emerging technique for studying cereal proteins is high-performance capillary electrophoresis (HPCE). This review focuses mainly on new methods and applications of HPCE to cereal proteins that have been reported in the last three years.
