| pubmed-article:11486380 | pubmed:abstractText | Simple and rapid methods for the determination of sucralose in foods were developed using anion-exchange chromatography (AEC) with pulsed amperometric detection and reverse-phase HPLC with refractive index detection. Sucralose was extracted with water or methanol, and the extracted solution was cleaned up on a Sep-Pak C18 cartridge and a Sep-Pak Alumina N cartridge. The AEC separation was performed on a CarboPac PA1 column (4.0 mm i.d x 250 mm) using 100 mmol/L sodium hydroxide-50 mmol/L sodium acetate solution as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The recoveries of sucralose from foods were 80.6-102.0%, and quantitation limits from foods except chewing gum were 0.5 microgram/g (2 micrograms/g from chewing gum). The reverse-phase HPLC separation was performed on an Inertsil ODS-3V column (4.6 mm i.d x 150 mm) using methanol-water (25:75) as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The recoveries of sucralose from foods were 80.2-121.2%, and quantitation limits from foods except chewing gum were 5 micrograms/g (20 micrograms/g from chewing gum). | lld:pubmed |
