AN122: The Determination of Carbohydrates, Alcohols, and Glycols in Fermentation Broths - Mono- and Disaccharides Method

Instrument Type: IC

This Application Note describes the use of two different anion-exchange columns with amperometric detection to analyze simple sugars, sugar alcohols, alcohols, and glycols in yeast and bacterial fermentation broths. The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae in Yeast Extract-Peptone-Dextrose (YPD) broth and the bacteria Escherichia coli (E. coli) in Luria-Bertani (LB) broth are common eukaryotic and prokaryotic fermentation systems, respectively. This record shows a method that is best for mono- and disaccharides.
