Abstract

Exhaled breath analysis holds promise as a non-invasive approach for disease diagnosis. Aldehydes represent a class of volatile organic compounds with diagnostic potential as breath biomarkers for cancers and other conditions. However, aldehydes exist at low concentrations in breath and have stability challenges. This review summarizes recent studies on breath aldehyde analysis, focusing on sample collection methodology, analytical techniques implemented, and key findings regarding aldehyde alterations in disease. Breath collection methods examined include commercial bags, end-tidal sampling devices, condensates, and direct analysis. Analytical techniques evaluated gas chromatography, mass spectrometry, and microextraction approaches. Emerging microextraction and sensing technologies are advancing real-time, non-invasive aldehyde detection. Overall, breath aldehyde biomarkers offer immense potential for diagnosis and screening, but continued research is needed to address current limitations. This review provides insights to guide future efforts focused on exhaled aldehyde analysis and disease detection.

期刊介绍： The journal''s title Analytical Biochemistry: Methods in the Biological Sciences declares its broad scope: methods for the basic biological sciences that include biochemistry, molecular genetics, cell biology, proteomics, immunology, bioinformatics and wherever the frontiers of research take the field. The emphasis is on methods from the strictly analytical to the more preparative that would include novel approaches to protein purification as well as improvements in cell and organ culture. The actual techniques are equally inclusive ranging from aptamers to zymology. The journal has been particularly active in: -Analytical techniques for biological molecules- Aptamer selection and utilization- Biosensors- Chromatography- Cloning, sequencing and mutagenesis- Electrochemical methods- Electrophoresis- Enzyme characterization methods- Immunological approaches- Mass spectrometry of proteins and nucleic acids- Metabolomics- Nano level techniques- Optical spectroscopy in all its forms. The journal is reluctant to include most drug and strictly clinical studies as there are more suitable publication platforms for these types of papers.
