In summary, a simple CE method using β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) as additive for the determination of ten kinds of amino acids in five different habitats jujube was developed in our work. Excellent separation of ten kinds of amino acids was achieved within less than 6 min by optimizing separation conditions such as pH, electrolyte concentration, β-CD, applied voltage, injection time and the UV detection wavelength. The method exhibited good repeatability (RSD
