High-Performance Liquid Chromatographic Determination of 2-Furaldehyde and 5-Hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde in Fruit Juices [PDF]
A method for the determination of 2-furaldehyde (F) and 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde (HMF) in fruit juices by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is described. The method is based on the formation of the 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazones of carbonyl compounds and subsequent separation of these derivatives.
