J. Chromatogr. 387, 481-484 (1987). TLC of neutral sugars, converted to glycamines by reductive amination and labeled with fluorescent reagent NBD-F, on boric acid impregnated silica with chloroform - methanol - water 55:45:10. Determination by densitometry. Also HPLC.

J. Chromatogr. 558, 328-339 (1991). TLC of carbohydrates on silica developed twice with chloroform – acetic acid – water. Detection by spraying with a 50 % solution of sulfuric acid in ethanol followed by heating at 150 °C for 10 min.

J. Planar Chromatogr. 14, 61-62 (2001). HPTLC of glucose and maltose on silica gel, prewashed with dichloromethane - methanol 1:1, with ethyl acetate - acetic acid - methanol - water 12:3:3:2 in a saturated chamber at 24°C and a humidity of 45%. Visualization by spraying with a-naphthol - sulfuric acid reagent and heating at 110°C for approx. 5 min. Quantitative densitometry at 515 nm.

Acta Chromatographica 9, 79-86 (1999). HPTLC (TLC) of glucose, maltose, sucrose and trehalose on silica gel with acetonitrile - water 17:3 and ethyl acetate – acetic acid – methanol – water 12:3:3:2 for three times with chamber saturation; on amino plates with ethyl acetate – pyridine – water – acetic acid 12:6:2:1 and on cellulose plates with ethyl acetate – pyridine – water 2:1:2, both in a non-equilibrated chamber; on RP-18 with tetrahydrofuran – water 44:6 in a pre-equilibrated chamber. All plates were prewashed, e.g. by chromatography with dichloromethane - methanol 1:1. Detection by 4-aminobenzoic acid reagent, 1-naphthol–sulfuric acid reagent or aniline–DPA reagent, each followed by heating at 110 °C for 10 min. The combined results from comparison of hRf values for two different mobile phases on silica gel, on cellulose, amino phase and C18-bonded layers with diverse separation mechanisms, spiking experiments on silica gel, detection with selective reagents, and GC–MS analysis definitely proved the presence of maltose and glucose and the absence of trehalose in digestive gland–gonad complex and hemolymph samples from B. glabrata. Earlier papers reporting the presence of trehalose were undoubtedly in error.

J. Planar Chromatogr. 27, 19-22 (2014). HPTLC of maltose and fructose, dextrose, galactose and mannose on silica gel with ethyl acetate - propionic acid 1:1. Detection by dipping into orcinol solution (250 mg orcinol, 7.5 mL conc. sulfuric acid, 200 mL ethanol, and 50 mL water), followed by heating at 110 ºC for 5-10 min. Quantitative determination by absorbance measurement. The LOD for fructose, dextrose and mannose was 8 μg/zone and for maltose and galactose 2 μg/zone. Selective separation of maltose from other sugars was achieved using a mobile phase more suitable for the environment.

Proc. Intern. Symposium on TLC with special Emphasis on OPLC, Szeged, 68 (1984).

Detection of sugar alcohols with 0.015 % Rhodamine B in methanol and UV 254 nm; of sugars with 4 % diphenylamine in ethanol, 4 % aniline in ethanol and 85 % o-phosphoric acid 5:5:1. Study of the influence of chemical structure on TLC behaviour.
