Sugar Substitutes Analysis for Beverages

Standardized analytical workflows

Waters Beverage Analysis Kit provides an easy-to-follow methodology for the fast and accurate testing of 6 commonly used sweeteners and additives (acesulfame-K, saccharin, caffeine, benzoate, sorbate, and aspartame). With pre-formulated mobile phase, wash solvent and standards, this kit optimizes analyses when using a UPLC or HPLC system to ensure final product quality and improve manufacturing efficiency and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis that includes uncertainty values and verification testing information is included.

Reliable and Accurate Analysis

Comprehensive quantitation of beverage compounds starts with an effective separation process. An optimized, environmentally friendly mobile phase is provided in our Beverage Analysis Kit which, when combined with the versatile Alliance HPLC System, or the latest generation of U(H)PLC Systems such as the ACQUITY ARC System, enables quality control testing to be performed with confidence and minimal sample preparation.

Flexible Detection Options

The routine analysis of the 6 commonly used additives can be achieved using the sensitive and versatile 2489 dual-wavelength absorbance detector. The 2998 PDA Detector is reliable, easy-to-use, and has enhanced software control, providing the flexibility required for routine analysis as well as definitive compound identification and coelution detection. 

Adding mass detection allows for the analysis of sugar substitutes which cannot be detected by UV due to an absence of a chromophore. The increased selectivity also achieved using mass detection provides greater confidence in compound identification due to a greater level of analyte discrimination. The ACQUITY QDa Detector facilitates simultaneous analysis of sweeteners in under 10 minutes from a single run. It integrates within HPLC or UPLC system stacks, increasing the flexibility of laboratories to analyze a greater number of sugar substitutes and incorporate mass detection into their existing chromatographic workflows and benchspace.

Converting Scientific Data into Useful Information

Make it easier than ever to collect, manage and report test results with our compliant-ready chromatography data software (CDS). Empower 3 manages all your data needs and makes your lab more productive. Simplify data acquisition with helpful wizards and unique interface options designed for your lab – presenting the appropriate workflow based on user. As an intuitive system, training demands are minimal which reduces downtime for training, re-analysis or re-engineering of workflows.
