5 Analysis steps
5.1 Sample pretreatment
5.1.2 Sample extraction
5.1.3 Purification
For the above sample extract solution, use a filter paper to filter (discard the primary filtrate) or centrifuge to obtain the supernatant; then, use a 0.45 um water-based membrane syringe to filter into a sample bottle for analysis by a high-performance liquid chromatograph.
5.2 Apparatus reference conditions
Apparatus reference conditions are as below.
90 °C; nitrogen flow rate 2.5 L/min.
5.3 Preparation of the standard curve
Inject the mixed standard working solution into the high-performance liquid chromatograph in order from low to high concentration, and measure the corresponding peak areas or peak heights of fructose, glucose, sucrose, maltose and lactose. For the differential refractive index detector, use the concentration of the standard working fluid as the abscissa and the peak area or peak height as the ordinate to draw a standard curve;
5.4 Determination of sample solution
Inject the sample solution into the high-performance liquid chromatograph;
qualitatively record the peak area or peak height of the target substance based on the retention time; obtain the concentrations of fructose, glucose, sucrose, maltose and lactose in the sample solution based on the standard curve.
5.5 Blank test
Except that no sample is added, proceed according to the above steps.
6 Expression of analysis results
Calculate the contents of fructose, glucose, sucrose, maltose and lactose in the sample according to Formula (1).
7 Precision
The absolute difference of 2 independent test results obtained under repeatability cannot exceed 10% of the arithmetic mean value.
8 Others

Take an appropriate amount of representative sample; for drinks and other liquid homogeneous samples, shake directly; for non-uniform samples, homogenize or crush evenly; for frozen drinks, melt at room temperature, stir thoroughly and, if necessary, heat and stir in a water batch at 30 °C ~ 40 °C; for sauces, grind or homogeneously mix;
for chocolate, heat and melt in a water bath at 50 °C ~ 60 °C, and stir thoroughly while it is hot.
12.1.2 Sample extraction
12.1.3 Sample purification
The sample extraction solution can be diluted by an appropriate multiple according to the target sugar content in the sample.
