J. Chromatogr. A 1569, 212-221 (2018). Presentation of a method for simultaneous determination of mono-, di-, oligo- and polysaccharides in food by HPTLC on silica gel with acetonitrile – water 4:1 containing 3.6 mM natural products reagent A in a single development. Use of the method for both, effective food screening and quantification for up to 20 samples in parallel on the same plate with good reproducibility of the separation at control of the layer activity, and with the determination coefficients of the calibration curves between 0.9980 and 0.9998. Test of the method with 4 different prebiotic food and 60 naturally degraded inulin samples proved its advantages of minimal sample preparation along with the determination of the intact inulin and FOS allowed the evaluation of the natural inulin degradation profile, as shown for naturally degraded inulin samples, and the method is robust and suitable for routine analysis, especially in food control, as well as might be of interest in other fields, e.g. plant breeding, edible insects, functional feed and metabolic processes.

J. Planar Chromatogr. 27, 245-250 (2014). HPTLC of fructooligosaccharides DP3-DP9 in Morinda officinalis on silica gel with n-butanol - isopropanol - water - acetic acid 7:5:2:1. Detection by spraying with 1-naphthol–sulfuric acid reagent, followed by heating at 110 ºC for 3 min. Quantitative determination by absorbance measurement at 585 nm. The hRF values for DP3 to DP9 were between 20 and 70. Linearity was in the range of 150-1050 ng/zone for DP3, 137-962 ng/zone for DP4 and DP5, 131-919 ng/zone for DP6 and DP9, 144-862 ng/zone for DP7 and 156-1094 ng/zone for DP8. The intermediate/interday/intra-day precisions were below 5 % (n=6). Average recoveries for DP3 to DP9 were between 91.4 and 99.0 %.

J. Chromatogr. 312, 492-496 (1984). TLC of oligo (D-galactosiduronic acids) obtained by hydrolysis of pectic acid with trichoderma reesei polygalacturonase on microcrystalline cellulose with ethyl acetate - butanol - formic acid-water 1:3:5:2. Detection by spraying with saturated aqueous solution of lead acetate or by dipping the plate in aniline phthalate reagent in acetone. One step development brought about the separation of the monomer and oligomers up to DP 5 within 1 h. With 3 runs oligomers up to DP 9 could be resolved.
