Abstract:

Objective: To develop a simple, accurate and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method with evaporative light scattering detection (ELSD) for the determination of enzymatically prepared lactosucrose (LS) in our laboratory. Methods: The reaction product containing LS was centrifugated and the supernatant was diluted and separated on a Kromasil NH2 column using acetonitrile/water (75:25, V/V) mixture as mobile phase. The ELSD drift tube temperature was set at 70 ℃ and the air pressure at 0.35 MPa. Results: The linear range of LS was between 0.1281 mg/mL and 4.1000 mg/mL (R2 = 0.9994). The method detection limit was 0.01 mg/mL. The average spike recovery at 5 levels was 100.28%, with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 3.07%. Conclusion: This method is simple, fast and accurate, and can be applied to the determination of LS.

Key words: high-performance liquid chromatography, evaporative light scattering detection, lactosucrose
