Abstract:

Lactose and sucrose in milk powder from the same commercial brand for two different age groups were assayedby the Lane-Eynon’s method and high performance liquid chromatography with refractive index detector (HPLC-RID). The differences in lactose and sucrose contents among different samples were analyzed, and the results of the two methods were compared. It was indicated that the accuracy of the HPLC-RID method was higher than that of the Lane-Eynon’s method. The linear ranges of the HPLC method for sucrose and lactose were both 2–12 mg/mL with correlation coefficients of 0.999 3 and 0.999 6, respectively. The precision, expressed as relative standard deviations, for sucrose and lactose were 2.53% and3.81%, respectively. The average recovery rates were 99.70% and 101.06%, respectively. The HPLC method had some advantages such as high accuracy, short analysis time, simple sample pretreatment and suitability for rapid determination of sucrose and lactose contents in milk powder.
