Comparison of Potassium and Sodium Content in Diet and Non-Diet Soft Drinks by Using Capillary Electrophoresis with Capacitively Coupled Contactless Conductivity Detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
Capillary electrophoresis (CE) with capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection (C4D) was used for determination of sodium and potassium concentrations in diet and non-diet soft drinks. Higher sodium concentrations were found in the diet samples due to the utilization of sodium salts of cyclamate and saccharine as sweeteners. The CE-C4D method can be used by food industries and health regulatory agencies for monitoring sodium and potassium content, not only in soft drink but in many others food products.

Contactless conductivity detection was carried out on a planar electrophoresis device by capacitive coupling using an ac excitation voltage of 500 V(p-p) and a frequency of 100 kHz. It was possible to carry out detection in this way through a cover plate of 1 mm thickness. Better sensitivity is obtained, however, by placing the electrodes into troughs that allow tighter coupling to the separati...
