      Determination of Fructose, Glucose and Sucrose in Beverages by High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography
      J. SHERMA*, D. ZULICK (*Department of Chemistry, Lafayette College, Easton, PA 18042-1782, USA)

      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.
