AB137: Determination of Inorganic and Organic Acids in Apple and Orange Juice Samples Using Capillary IC

Instrument Type: IC

Determinations of organic acids in fruit juices are used by the beverage industry for flavor characterization, identification of spoilage, identification of adulteration by a less costly juice, and product labeling. In this study, inorganic anions and organic acids in diluted filtered apple and orange juice samples were determined on a Dionex IonSwift MAX-100 anion-exchange column using electrolytically generated hydroxide gradient from 0.1–65 mM KOH over 25 min at 15 μL/min.

AB135: Determination of Anions and Organic Acids in Brewed Coffee Samples Using Capillary IC

Instrument Type: IC

The characteristic aroma, acidity, and flavor of a coffee are attributed to the inorganic anions, organic acids, chlorogenic acid, and monosaccharides content. In this study, inorganic anions and organic acid anions in caffeinated and decaffeinated brewed coffee samples are separated within 20 min by anion-exchange chromatography on a capillary Dionex IonSwift MAX-100 (0.25 × 250 mm) column set using a gradient of potassium hydroxide eluent at 12 μL/min.

TN119: Fast Separations of Organic Acids in an Orange Juice Sample Using High-Pressure Capillary IC

Instrument Type: IC

Determinations of organic acid profiles in fruit juices are used in the beverage industry to characterize flavor, identify spoilage and potential sources of adulteration, and to meet labeling requirements for food products. In this study, inorganic anions and organic acids from a diluted orange juice sample are separated by anion-exchange chromatography on a capillary size IonSwift MAX-100 monolith IC column and detected by suppressed conductivity detection. For more information on organic acid determinations in fruit juices, please review AN143. An ICS-6000 can be used for this application.
