چکیده
Disaccharide alditols (DAs) such as maltitol, isomaltitol, and lactitol are increasingly being employed in food industry by virtue of their low hydroscopicity, high stability, and good bulking properties. Still, these compounds are reduced-calorie sweeteners, so they are successfully employed in many dietetic foods, like candies, chocolates, baked products, ice creams, and beverages. Here we describe the determination of maltitol, isomaltitol, and lactitol, along with other common carbohydrates, in some foodstuffs such as toffees, biscuits, creams, sponge cakes, chocolates, roasted malt, and chicory leaves. Separations were accomplished by high-pH anion-exchange chromatography (HPAEC) with pulsed amperometric detection using 40 mM NaOH + 1 mM Ba(CH(3)COO)(2) as the mobile phase. The optimal detection potential (E(DET) = +0.10 V) was established in voltammetric experiments carried out in batch and flowing stream solutions. Under optimized conditions there was no need for both postcolumn addition of strong bases to the eluent and, even more important, column regeneration between runs. A pellicular column with a relatively low ion-exchange capacity was adopted, which allows a rapid separation of sorbitol, isomaltitol, lactitol, maltitol, glucose, fructose, sucrose, and lactose. The presence in the alkaline mobile phase of barium ions improved selectivity and reproducibility besides shorter analysis times as well. Limits of detection were on the order of 10-20 pmol injected. The contents of DAs and other free sugars in some dietetic foods were evaluated by calibration graphs.

Anion-Exchange Chromatography I. Mechanism of Separation Although anion-exchange chromatography has been used extensively to analyze acidic carbohydrates and glycopeptides, it has not been commonly used for analysis of neutral sugars. However, examination of the pKa values of the neutral monosaccharides listed in Table 1 shows that carbohydrates are in fact weak acids. At high pH, they are at l...

Cyanide is a regulated contaminant in drinking water in the United States. This paper describes an ion chromatography method with pulsed amperometric detection (PAD) that directly determines free cyanide in drinking water. Samples are treated with sodium hydroxide to stabilize cyanide and with a cation-exchange cartridge to remove transition metals. Cyanide is separated by anion-exchange chroma...
متن کاملCarbohydrate analysis of bacterial polysaccharides by high-pH anion-exchange chromatography and online polarimetric determination of absolute configuration.
A significant problem in structure determination of complex carbohydrates, especially for bacterial polysaccharides, is determination of the absolute configuration of the component monosaccharides. A number of analytical methods have been used for this purpose but, as a result of the wide variety of chemical properties of sugars found in complex polysaccharides, no single method is universally ...
