Abstract: A high performance liquid chromatography and evaporative light scattering detector (HPLC-ELSD) method was established for the simultaneous determination of fructose, glucose, sorbitol, sucrose, maltose hydrate, maltotriose, and maltotriose in plum extract. The separation was carried out using a Grace Prevail Carbohydrate ES column at a column temperature of 30 ℃; the mobile phase was acetonitrile water, with a flow rate of 1.00 mL/min;the detection used an evaporative light scattering detector, with a drift tube temperature of 60 ℃ and a nitrogen flow rate of 2.50 L/min. The results showed that fructose, sorbitol, glucose, sucrose, maltose hydrate, maltotriose, and maltotetraose had a good linear relationship,ranging from 34.69~2 220.00, 16.22~1 038.00, 38.66~2 474.00, 24.53~1 570.00, 22.91~1 466.00, 6.09~390.00 and 14.69~940.00 μg/mL,respectively,the precision was good, and the relative standard deviation (RSD) of repeatability was 1.00%~4.09%, the recovery rates of each target substance were 85.5%~110.1%, and the precision was 0.3%~4.6% (n=6). This method achieved the separation of sugar and sugar alcohols within 30 minutes, with good sensitivity and repeatability detection, effectively avoiding the influence of solvents and temperature. The measurement results were accurate and the operation was easy, which could be used for batch detection of sugar and sugar alcohols in plum extract.
