Colors are food additives that are regulated in the EU, USA, and China. Only approved food colors can be used and others are banned such as some azo compounds, because of their potential carcinogenicity. In this Method, we describe a new Cloud Point Extraction (CPE) method for determining the presence of approved water soluble and banned fat soluble azo colors, followed by separation on a Thermo Scientific Hypersil GOLD column and detection with a Thermo Scientific MSQ Plus single quadrupole mass spectrometer.

Excess sugar consumption is tied to poor health outcomes. Nutritional information including sugar amount is required in the Nutrition Facts label for all pre-packaged foods and drinks by The Nutrition Labeling and Education Act. A high-performance anion exchange method with pulsed amperometric detection (HPAE-PAD) has been developed to accurately determine the sugar concentrations. This record shows the determination of sugars in soft drinks using the Thermo Scientific Dionex Integrion system. This system allow fast determination of sugars with no eluent preparation or sample derivatization.

Excess sugar consumption is tied to poor health outcomes. Nutritional information, including sugar amount, is required in the Nutrition Facts Label for all pre-packaged foods and drinks by the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act. A high-performance anion exchange method with pulsed amperometric detection (HPAE-PAD) was developed to accurately determine the sugar concentrations. This record shows the determination of sugars in fruit juices using the Thermo Scientific Dionex Integrion system. This system allows fast determination of sugars with no eluent preparation or sample derivatization.

This system allows fast determination of sugars with no eluent preparation or sample derivatization.

The Thermo Scientific Dionex UltiMate 3000 RS system is applied for the analysis of electrolytes in sports beverages. The separation is performed on a Thermo Scientific Acclaim Trinity P2 column, which is designed to resolve a broad range of anions and cations, mono- or multi-valent, in a single analysis using a simple gradient method. The Thermo Scientific OnGuard II P cartridge was used to remove artificial colors from the samples.
