Introducing Capillary Electrophoresis with Laser-Induced Fluorescence (CE-LIF) as a Potential Analysis and Quantification Tool for Galactooligosaccharides Extracted from Complex Food Matrices
2010
The analysis and quantification of (galacto)oligosaccharides from food matrices demands both a reproducible extraction method as well as a sensitive and accurate analytical method. Three typical matrices, namely, infant formula, fruit juice, and a maltodextrin-rich preparation, to which a commercial galactooligosaccharide mixture was added in a product concentration range from 1.25 to 30%, served as model substrates. Solid-phase extraction on graphitized carbon material upon enzymatic amyloglucosidase pretreatment enabled a good recovery and a selective purification of the different galactooligosaccharide structures from the exceeding amounts of particularly lactose and maltodextrins. With the implementation of capillary electrophoresis in combination with laser-induced fluorescence (CE−LIF) detection, a new possibility facilitating a sensitive qualitative and quantitative determination of the galactooligosaccharide contents in the different food matrices is outlined. Simultaneous monitoring and quantifyi...
