I injected Fructose USP reference standard and I see three peaks. The void, and two peaks, at least one of them must be Fructose.
I developed the method by starting with strong elution conditions (to elute everything) and moved to weaker elution conditions to see peaks retain longer and longer. Starting at 50% buffer and ending up at 7.5% buffer.
Method:
amide column, acetate buffer (7.5%)/acetonitrile (92.5) isocratic; 60C
cad detector
diluent: methanol
Am i seeing two anomers? Is it a closed ring fructose and a open/linear chain fructose?
I'm very confused and the internet searches are not helping.
Thanks!
