Event Overview:

Maple syrup, a common natural sweetener, is consumed regularly in households around the world. Quantification of sugar content in maple syrup is vital to satisfy product labeling requirements and ensure label-claim accuracy. Although sucrose is the primary sugar component in maple syrup, a complete identification and quantification of the other complex carbohydrates, including glucose, fructose and maltose, is essential.

In this Webcast, we present a robust and efficient method for the determination of the four aforementioned complex carbohydrates is presented. Utilizing an HPLC system, a hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) technique is utilized with subsequent detection achieved utilizing a refractive index (RI) detector.

Key Learning Objectives:

• Learn about the latest advanced LC techniques used to analyze syrups and sugars
• Discover a fast and robust method for chromatographic separation and quantitation of four sugars using a HPLC with RI detection
• Learn more about RI technology and its food safety and quality analysis capabilities

Who Should Attend:

• Laboratory directors
• Analytical Scientist or scientists
• Laboratory managers
• Procurement manager
