Abstract

Capillary electrophoresis (c.e) is a modern Spt technique other than any other chromatographic technique for the detection of plant secondary metabolites (Psm). There are two types of c.e such as capillary zone electrophoresis (c.z.e) and micellar electro kinetic (M.e.k.c.c). All kinds of secondary metabolites (Sm) (flavonoids, cardiac glycosides, aglycones, steroids, diterpene, saponin, etc.) are not possible to isolate with the help of HPLC and Gas chromatography. But such type of metabolites may possibly be isolated with the help of c.e smoothly and easily. However, in c.e charged molecules are transferred to the opposite charged molecules in the presence of the electrical field. Very low solvent, low price silica columns, and small amount of samples are needed to run the c.e. There are various characteristics such as voltage (Vtg), temperature, electrolyte concentration, BF pH, micelle concentration, and organic modifiers may influence the Spt of different Sm. In this book chapter we will describe the different parameters of c.e like methodology, detector sample analysis, and combination of other hypnated technique for the detection of metabolites.
