A Prototype Instrument for the Electrochemical Detection of Sucrose Contami- Nation in Sugar Refinery Condensates - Pulsed Amperometric Sugar Trace Analyser (pasta)
ثبت نشده
چکیده
A prototype analyser incorporating commercial analytical instrumentation has been used to monitor the sucrose contamination of boiler feed water. The instrument has been designed to use a commercially available pulsed amperometric detector and incorporates a short chromatographic column. This allows the choice of flow-injection or chromatographic mode of operation. The former is simpler, but non-specific, whereas the latter can be sucrose specific. Results of continuous at-line trials in parallel with total organic carbon (TOC) monitoring are presented.

Evaluation of the Saccharoflex 2000 Reflectance Measuring Instrument for Refined Sugar Colour Estimation at Huletts Refinery
Due to the successful use of the Saccharoflex 2000 reflectance measurement instrument on the estimation of refined sugar colour elsewhere in the world, it was decided by Tongaat-Hulett Sugar to evaluate the instrument at the refinery in Durban. Tests were carried out on first, second, third and fourth refined sugars, the results of which showed a good correlation between the ICUMSA colour measu...
متن کاملIon Exclusion Desugarisation
Ion exclusion is a chromatographic process which separates components from an impure feedstock on the basis of molecular size and charge. A pilot plant ion exclusion separator was constructed to determine the technical and economic feasibility of recovering sugar from refinery jet 4 (the feedstock identified as most promising in terms of ease of treatment). Extensive tests on jet 4 from the Mal...
متن کاملDetecting Adulterated Commercial Sweet Sorghum Syrups with Ion Chromatography Oligosaccharide Fingerprint Profiles
Some commercial sweet sorghum syrups can be fraudulently or accidently adulterated with inexpensive sugar syrups, particularly high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) or corn syrup, and sold at a relatively low market price or even mis-branded. This undermines the economic stability of the current small-scale producers of food-grade sweet sorghum syrup as well as the developing large-scale bioproduct i...
متن کاملDetermination of maltitol, isomaltitol, and lactitol by high-pH anion-exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection.
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 de...
متن کاملDetermination of saccharides in atmospheric aerosol using anion-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography and pulsed-amperometric detection.
An improved method is described for the quantification of primary sugars, sugar alcohols and anhydrosugars in atmospheric aerosols, making use of separation by high-performance anion-exchange chromatography (HPAEC) with pulsed amperometric detection (PAD). Quartz fibre filters from high-volume samplers were extracted with water and the extract injected directly. Repeatability is typically 4% RS...
