Characterisation of proteinaceous binders in artistic paintings by chromatographic techniques.

This review discusses the application of chromatographic techniques (GC, HPLC and Py-GC) for the characterisation of proteinaceous materials in artistic paintings. The focus is on the various analytical steps that are needed to determine these natural materials in paint samples, from sampling and sample pre-treatment, including various methods of hydrolysis and derivatisation for GC and HPLC, to approaches for data evaluation.
