Method description

Sugar Profile: This method directly determines the amounts of simple sugars (fructose, galactose, glucose, sucrose, maltose, and lactose). The sugars are extracted and cleaned-up; thereafter, the appropriate dilution is quantitated using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Sugar Alcohol Screen: This method determines the amounts of Sorbitol, Maltitol, Erythritol, Xylitol, Mannitol, Isomalt, and Lactitol. Samples are extracted, components are converted to oximes, derivatized, and analyzed using gas chromatography. Calculations are based on response factors of known standards.
