A collaborative study determining sucrose, glucose, fructose, maltose, and lactose in chocolate products was conducted using a previously published high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method. Five samples (2 milk chocolates, 1 dark chocolate, 1 powdered mix, and 1 sirup) were analyzed in duplicate by 7 collaborators. The results indicate adequate method precision. In addition, the HPLC method allows for the simultaneous determination of 5 saccharides in chocolate products in 15 min. The method has been adopted as official first action. |
