1 9 North Harrison Road Bellefonte, PA -00 USA Telephone Fax sigma-aldrich.com/supelco HPLC Carbohydrate Column Selection Guide Because carbohydrates exhibit a significant degree of chemical and physical similarity, they are more difficult to analyze than most other classes of compounds. No single HPLC column or method is capable of separating all carbohydrates. Advantages, limitations, and applications for GEL and SIL columns specifically prepared for various carbohydrate analyses are summarized here. Key Words carbohydrates sugars saccharides monosaccharides disaccharides oligosaccharides Carbohydrate analyses are a challenge for the chromatographer. Diversity among compounds classified as carbohydrates (Table ) is far greater than among other classes of biochemicals. The potential for complexity in the structure of carbohydrate molecules is summarized by the fact that three amino acids can combine in a total of six different ways, while three monosaccharides can form more than 000 distinct trisaccharides. To further complicate the situation, chemical and physical properties among monosaccharides, disaccharides, and trisaccharides differ only slightly. Hence, HPLC separations of carbohydrates depend on differences in conformation, configuration, and bonding mode, and are more difficult than analyses of other classes of compounds. No single HPLC column or method is capable of separating all carbohydrates. For this reason, we offer a selection of columns specifically prepared for various carbohydrate analyses. Advantages and limitations of each column are summarized in this bulletin. Table summarizes applications for these columns; Table shows retention times for an extensive number of carbohydrates, under typical operating conditions. Table. Types of Carbohydrates Monosaccharides Pentoses (arabinose, ribose) Hexaoses (glucose, galactose, fructose) Disaccharides (sucrose, lactose, maltose) Trisaccharides (raffinose, melezitose) Tetrasaccharides (stachyose) Oligosaccharides (DP to DP0*) Polysaccharides ( units) Polyhydric Alcohols/Sugar Alcohols (mannitol, sorbitol, polyols) *DP (degree of polymerization) = number of monosaccharide units in the molecule. The major advantage of RI detection is the universal response over a fairly wide linear range of analyte concentrations. Major disadvantages are poor sensitivity and baseline instability caused by temperature, solvent, or pressure changes (RI detection is impractical with gradient elution). Both positive and negative peaks can be present in a chromatogram. The abundance of carbohydrates in food and other samples, however, makes RI detection a suitable tool for these analyses. Figure A.

3 SIL LC-NH Column This column, containing a silica-based, aminopropyl-modified phase packing, provides good separations of a variety of mono-, di-, and some trisaccharides found in foods. Separation is in order of increasing molecular weight, with monosaccharides eluting first (Figures B and C). Oligosaccharides are strongly retained and should not be analyzed on this column. Sample preparation is minimal. The sugars do not require derivatization and most samples require only dilution with deionized water, extraction of the sugars, and filtration (0.µm filter). Many juices and soft drinks can be analyzed undiluted, after degassing and filtration. Mobile phases typically contain acetonitrile and water in various proportions (: or 0:0 mixtures are recommended). Note that the disaccharides sucrose and lactose are best separated on the SIL LC-NH column. Figure B. Amino Column Test Mix Column: SIL LC-NH, cm x.mm, µm particles Cat.

Raffinose Figure B shows an analysis of the test mix used to evaluate the performance of SIL LC-NH columns. The mix is available (Cat. No. ) for routine monitoring of the column in the laboratory. Figure C shows the variety of sugars that can be separated by using a SIL LC-NH column. Resolution between each pair of analytes is good. GEL Columns In contrast to their elution order on SIL LC-NH columns, carbohydrates elute in descending order of molecular size, monosaccharides last, from the resin-based GEL columns described below. The pores in the resins exclude polysaccharides and larger oligosaccharides, which elute first. Smaller di- and monosaccharides enter the pores, interact with the counterions, and are more strongly retained. Figures D and E show comparable separations on five columns. In addition to the differences in elution order and resolution, note the negative peak, a common characteristic of refractive index detection, in both figures. Also note that in Figure E the disaccharides sucrose and lactose are separated only on the SIL LC-NH column. Disaccharide separations are difficult to obtain with resin-based column packings. GEL Ca Column The GEL Ca column contains a polystyrene-divinylbenzene cross-linked resin in the calcium form. It separates oligo-, tri-, and disaccharides by class, using a mixed size exclusion/ion exchange mode, with the largest molecules eluting first. Its true separating power, however, is in its chromatography of monosaccharides and sugar alcohols a variety of monosaccharides can be separated, using only water as the mobile phase. The column can be operated at low temperatures, but separations are best at elevated temperatures. Figures F and G show a separation of carbohydrate standards and an analysis of high fructose corn syrup, respectively, on a GEL Ca column. Both figures were obtained using a temperature of 0 C and a mobile phase consisting solely of deionized water. GEL C- Column The unique polystyrene-divinylbenzene resin-based packing in this column contains two divalent cations, strontium and barium, rather than one. As with the other GEL columns, the separation mechanism is a combination of size exclusion and ion exchange modes. Disaccharides elute before monosaccharides, usually as a single peak. Sugar alcohols are strongly retained and elute with the monosaccharides. The column is compatible with many inorganic salts and can be used with dilute bases. Separations normally are carried out using a very weak basic solution, such as 0 - N sodium hydroxide, at 0 C. Analyses on a GEL C- column are temperature dependent. Figure I shows that resolution is improved as the temperature is increased. GEL Ag Columns These columns contain a silver-form styrene-divinylbenzene resin. Larger analytes elute before smaller analytes. The Ag column was developed specifically for separating the oligosaccharides in beer and corn syrup, and provides rapid separations of oligomers up to DP. It will separate ethanol and glycerol. The Ag column is better suited for larger oligosaccharides, resolving up to and including DP. Hydrolysis products and oligosaccharides can be analyzed on either an Ag or an Ag column. Figure J shows the carbohydrate profile of a domestic beer; Figures K and L show separations of corn syrup on GEL Ag and Ag columns, respectively.

Glucose GEL C-0H Column This column contains a polystyrene resin in the hydrogen form. It is ideal for separating mixtures of organic acids (Figure H), fermentation products (e.g., alcohols), and carbohydrates. Such mixtures commonly occur in fruits, vegetables, and beverages. Larger and acidic analytes elute before smaller analytes. The column is stable between ph and, but results are best at low ph. A simple mobile phase containing 0.% H PO is suitable for a wide variety of analyses. GEL K Column A GEL K column separates raffinose, sucrose, glucose, fructose, and betaine, a trimethylammonium zwitterionic compound found in beet and cane sugars and widely distributed in other plants Figure L.

GEL Pb columns provide excellent separation of xylose, galactose, and mannose, which are not completely resolved on calcium-form resin columns. GEL H Columns GEL H columns have the same particle composition, retention mechanism, performance, sensitivity, and applications as GEL C-0H columns. However, particle improvements have made it possible to pack the GEL H packing material efficiently into conventional.mm ID columns, to improve detection and reduce solvent consumption relative to.mm ID columns. -.

Glucose G00099 Making a Decision To choose the best column for your particular carbohydrates analysis, we suggest you find the compounds of interest in Table and note their retention times on each column. Using this information, select the column that will separate the compounds of interest with at least minute between any pair. Guard Columns Although filtration removes particulate matter from a sample, food, beverages, and other samples often contain soluble components that can be strongly retained by the analytical columns described here. We strongly recommend using a guard column to protect the analytical column from these potentially damaging sample components. We offer cm x.mm Supelguard guard columns that are compatible with our GEL resin-based analytical columns and a cm x.mm Supelguard guard column for use with the SIL LC-NH silica-based column. Guard columns are listed under Ordering Information. Note that GEL Ca columns and GEL C- columns use the same guard column (Supelguard Ca). Suggested Reading Knight, P. Biotechnology, : (99).
