A Study on Saccharides in Honey via HPLC
HPLC에 의한 벌꿀의 당성분에 관한 연구
Abstract
Saccharides in Korean honey have been analyzed by traditional wet chemical methods and several chromatographic technics gas, paper, column and thin layer chromatography. A simple, rapid and versatile method for the separation and determination of saccharides via high performance liquid chromatography were used eluting with $H_2O : CH_CN$ at 25:75, at a flow rate of 1.0ml/min. Acasia honey contained 36.8% fructose, 31.4% glucose, 1.7% sucrose and bush clover honey held 34.4% fructose, 32.3% glucose and 30% sucrose. Difference on the regional distribution were not found in the quantity of saccharides (42 species). The quality of inferior honey was assumed to contain much maltose, sugar and glucose than common honey.
