Amino acids with different optical activities and stereo-configurations have different physiological activities and effects. Therefore, it is important to achieve the chiral separation of amino acids effectively. Chromatography is a commonly used method for the chiral separation and detection of amino acids, and is characterized by high separation efficiency, high speed, sensitivity, low cost, and environmental friendliness. In this paper, we review the recent progress of chromatographic methods in the chiral separation and analysis of amino acids and provide an outlook on their development trends.
