Table 3. Glucose Equivalent Sugar Contents of Sucrose Hydrolysates and of Synthetic Mixtures Comprising Glucose and Fructose (1:1), as Determined by the Proposed and Reference Methods.
| sample | proposed method (mg glucose equiv L–1) | reference method (mg glucose equiv L–1) |
|---|---|---|
| sucrosea hydrolysate | 179.3 | 166.3 |
| (glucose + fructose)b | 186.5 | 173.8 |
| sucrosea hydrolysate | 379.8 | 346.1 |
| (glucose + fructose)b | 364.9 | 372.1 |
a
Two different samples of sucrose were hydrolyzed, having initial concentrations of 0.5 and 1.0 mM, corresponding to 180.2 and 360.3 mg glucose equivalent per liter, respectively (N = 3).
b
Synthetic mixtures were prepared as theoretically equivalent to the hydrolysis products of sucrose.
