Solution for chromatography separation, sorbitol and D-mannitol separation R ≥ 2.0. A.3.4.4.1 adaptability 2
Chromatographic analysis of the standard solution, the results of repeated injections of the relative standard deviation of the detected ≤ 2.0%.

A.3.4.5 Determination
In A.3.3 reference chromatographic conditions, respectively, the standard solution and the sample solution was measured, the injection volume was 10 μL, repeat injections once, calculate its main peak response average.

A.3.5 calculated results
The content of D-mannitol by the formula X1 (A.1) calculated: () () w
rrCCXSUUS – × × = 10010000 1 …………………………… (A.1)
The formula:
X1 – sample D-mannitol content,%;
CS – concentration of the standard units of milligrams per gram (mg / g); CU – the concentration of the sample solution, in milligrams per gram (mg / g); rU – the main sample liquid chromatogram peak response mean; rS – standard solution chromatogram main peak response mean;
w – Loss on drying the sample measured in units of grams per hundred grams (g/100g). The results parallel arithmetic mean of the measurement results shall prevail.

A.4 pH measurement
Weighed amount of sample, the preparation of the mass fraction of 10% of the sample solution, the solvent is carbon dioxide-free water and then measured with a pH meter pH.

A.5 Determination of reducing sugars
3.3g sample was accurately weighed, was added 25mL of water in the sample was slowly dissolved by heating. The solution was cooled, added to 20mL of test solution and an alkaline copper citrate few glass beads. The solution was heated, 4min The solution began to boil and keep boiling 3min. After rapid cooling, dilute acetic acid test solution and 100mL 20.0mL0.025mol / L iodine titration [Note: The dilution 0.05mol / L iodine titration solution 1:1 with water]. Shaking side solution, the mixed solution was added 25mL (6mL hydrochloric acid and 94mL of water). When the precipitate was dissolved with 0.05mol / L sodium thiosulfate solution [NOTE: 0.1mol / L sodium thiosulfate solution diluted with water 1:1] titration of excess iodine. At the endpoint, adding 2mL starch test solution, as the display agent. 0.05mol / L sodium thiosulfate solution required for the titration volume ≥ 12.8mL.
