THERMO Scientific | Determination of sugars in foods using HPAE-PAD in dual eluent generation cartridge mode

This application note demonstrated that the AOAC 2018.16 First Action Method for sugar determination in food samples could be successfully modified for use with a Dionex CarboPac PA20-1 mm column and HPAE-PAD in Dual Eluent Generation Cartridge Mode. The separation, linearity, sensitivity, accuracy, and reproducibility were excellent.

Compared with a traditional HPAE-PAD separation of sugars using manually prepared sodium hydroxide eluents, the Dual EGC method delivered a similar resolution of sugars, simplified operation (no eluent preparation), and improved retention time precision.
