Abstract

Carbohydrate analysis can be used as a standard analysis for quality control of industries of plants, foods and pharmaceuticals. Quantitative 1H NMR spectroscopy (qNMR) is an excellent alternative to chromatography-based mixture analysis. However, the application of qNMR in sugar analysis has rarely been reported. In this study, the performance of qNMR in sugar analysis was investigated and compared with the results from HPLC analysis. A head-to-head comparison of qNMR (internal and external standard methods) versus HPLC (PMP pre-column derivatization HPLC, HPLC-RID and HPLC-ELSD) based on quantitative analysis of four carbohydrates (fructose, glucose, sucrose and maltose) in Yiqi Fumai lyophilized injection (YQFM) is presented. Both assays showed similar performance characteristics, including linearity range, accuracy, precision and recovery, and analysis times of less than 30 min/sample. After methodological validation, both qNMR and HPLC have good accuracy, precision and stability. Indeed, the qNMR method is simple, sensitive and rapid in quantifying the four sugars. By analysis of variance (ANOVA) for sugar content with HPLC and qNMR methods, we demonstrated that the two analytical methods had no significant difference and could be used interchangeably for the quantitative analysis of carbohydrates.
