Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of chemical analysis, in particular to a high performance liquid chromatography detection method for a mixture of D-mannitol and sodium gluconate. Background Art
[0002] D-mannitol is an organic compound with the molecular formula C6H 14 O6, a colorless or white crystalline powder with a slightly sweet taste similar to sucrose, plays a certain role in medicine, food, feed, and life science research; it can be used as a sweetener, anti-sticking agent, nutritional supplement, quality improver, and moisturizer.
[0003] The chemical formula of sodium gluconate is C6H 11 NaO7 is widely used in industry. Sodium gluconate can be used as a high-efficiency chelating agent in the construction, textile printing and dyeing, metal surface treatment and water treatment industries, as well as a steel surface cleaner, glass bottle cleaner, and aluminum oxide coloring in the electroplating industry. In the concrete industry, it is used as a high-efficiency retarder and high-efficiency water reducer to delay the setting time of concrete. When the dosage is below 0.15%, the logarithm of the initial setting time is directly proportional to the added dosage, that is, if the added dosage is doubled, the initial setting time is delayed by ten times. This extends the working time from a few hours to several days without compromising the strength. This is an important advantage, especially in hot weather and when the concrete needs to be placed for a long time.
[0004] The production of D-mannitol is mainly achieved through two methods: microbial fermentation and chemical synthesis. Among them, microbial fermentation has gradually become the mainstream production method due to its advantages such as being green and environmentally friendly and having a wide range of raw material sources. In the actual production and fermentation process, in order to monitor fermentation indicators, it is necessary to accurately and quantitatively detect the concentration of D-mannitol. Sodium gluconate is a by-product of D-mannitol. It is difficult to simultaneously and effectively and accurately detect both sodium gluconate and D-mannitol using conventional detection methods. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to develop new detection methods. Summary of the Invention
