J. Planar Chromatogr. 12, 76-79 (1999). Study of the chromatographic behavior of a series of tosylated xylitol derivatives on silica gel and on C8- and C18-modified silica gel layers with, respectively, binary nonaqueous and aqueous mobile phases. HPTLC on silica gel resp. RP-8- and RP-18 with 10 different mobile phases. Detection under UV 254 nm.

Planta med. 68, 74-76 (2002). TLC of monosaccharides (galactose, arabinose) as TMSi methyl glycosides on silica gel with butanol - pyridine - water 6:4:3. Detection by spraying with orcinol sulfuric acid.

Acta Chromatographica 6, 7-14 (1996). HPTLC of fructose, glucose and sucrose on a channeled silica gel plate with concentration zone with acetonitrile - water 17:3 for three times (freshly prepared each time, taking 15 min per run) with chamber saturation for 10-15 min. Before, just the silica gel layer was impregnated by spraying with 0.10 M sodium bisulfate solution, and subsequently with citrate buffer (1:10 dilution of citrate buffer with water, pH 4.8), each followed by drying. Detection by spraying with 1-naphthol-sulfuric acid reagent, followed by heating at 100-110 °C for 5-10 min. Quantitative determination by absorbance measurement at 515 nm. The hRf values of fructose, glucose and sucrose were 47, 43, and 28, respectively, and selectivity regarding matrix was given. No zones other than the sugars were detected in sample chromatograms because of the selectivity of the detection reagent and the retention of the beverage components in the preadsorbent. Correlation coefficients (r) for linear regression of the calibration curves typically ranged from 0.90-0.99, with an average of 0.97. The precision in matrix was 2.5 % (n = 5). The mean reproducibility of the twofold sample analyses was 4 %, ranged between 0.45 % and 7.5 %. The accuracy of the method was 94.6 %, 97.0 % and 90.8 % for sucrose, glucose and fructose, respectively. Sugar concentrations in the samples ranged from 18.4-34.3 mg/mL.

J. Planar Chromatogr. 27, 449-453 (2014). HPTLC of the glycome of different species of Panax (P. ginseng, P. notoginseng, and P. quinquefolium). Monosaccharides were analyzed on cellulose phase with ethyl acetate - pyridine - acetic acid - water 35:15:1:7 for the first development and 35:15:1:9 for the second development. Detection by spraying with aniline-O-phthalic acid reagent (containing 1.6 g o-phthalic acid dissolved in 100 mL water-saturated n-butanol, containing 0.9 mL of aniline), followed by heating at 105 °C for 5 min. Oligosaccharides were analyzed on silica gel with n-butanol - isopropanol - acetic acid - water 7:5:1:2. Detection by spraying with diphenylamine–aniline–phosphoric acid solution (4 g diphenylamine mixed with 4 mL aniline and 20 mL 85% (v/v) phosphoric acid in 200 mL acetone), followed by heating at 105 °C for 5 min._x000D_

J. Planar Chromatogr. 6, 51-54 (1993). Quantitative HPTLC of 11 sugars on silica impregnated by spraying with 0.1 M sodium bisulfite solution and - after drying in air for 10 min - with pH 4.8 citrate buffer.
