Abstract
A simple one-step method for the analysis of monosaccharides including galactosaminitol after acidic hydrolysis is described. The hydrolyzat e was re-N-acetylated and analyzed by high-performance anion-exchange chromatography and the sugars were detected by a pulsed amperometric d etector. The method was applied on a mixture of neutral oligosaccharid es released from mucin glycopeptides of rat small intestine by alkalin e borohydride. Sugars were detected down to the nanomole range and the results were compared with monosaccharide compositional analysis perf ormed by gas chromatography of acetylated alditols.
