The determination of sucrose in molasses by high-performance thin-layer chromatography. 1978

F Hsu, and D Nurok, and A Zlatkis

A method is described for the determination of sucrose in molasses by high-performance thin-layer chromatography. A baseline separation of sucrose is achieved in about 40 min using acetone--water (90:10) as developing solvent. The relative standard deviation of determinations by this method is about 2.2%. Results agree with those obtained by isotope dilution analysis of the same molasses samples.
