The first work used ‘home-packed’ columns with stationary phases such as MgO or Ca(OH)2 that had been widely used as TLC and CC adsorbents. These stationary phases were not designed for application in HPLC. They did not have uniform particle size and shape or controlled pore size, and HPLC columns of these adsorbents were not available commercially.
Finally, some optical isomers can be resolved on chiral phase columns. Many of the features discussed in Sections D-F are illustrated in the chromatograms of carotenoids in various food and human samples presented later in Sections G and H. Crossreferences to the appropriate Figures are given where relevant. 14 Frederick Khachik 2.
