description

A capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) method for analyzing the total acid hydrolysis products (monosaccharides and their derivatives) of the dissolved carbohydrates from a totally chlorine-free bleaching plant was developed. Several borate buffer concentrations and other running conditions were tested. Neutral monosaccharides (arabinose, galactose, glucose, mannose, rhamnose and xylose) in hydrolysates were derivatized by means of 4-aminobenzonitrile and resolved by 500 mM borate buffer (pH 9.5, 16.0 kV). The detection level was less than 10 fmol. In addition, the separation of some uronic acids and oligosaccharides was studied.
