| Summary: | The determination and quantification of sugars in fruit juices is especially important for quality control. In this article, the analytical
methods for determination of sugars in fruit juices are presented and discussed. Available methods range from classical methods based on
Fehling’s and Luft-Shorl’s methods, refractometric or enzymatic to liquid chromatography with different types of detectors. Although
chromatography has been extensively used as a very accurate and sensitive technique, the sample preparation is time consuming and
requires solvent extraction. Spectroscopic techniques (FTIR-ATR, MIR, Raman) have been recognized as potential and valuable alternative
to chromatographic methods, since they are easy, simple and in many cases non-destructive. These methods that are fast, easy to use and
non-destructive are in line with current analytical trends however they must be properly calibrated and validated. |
