HPLC STUDIES ON THE DEGRADATION PROFILES OF GLUCOSE 5% SOLUTIONS SUBJECTED TO HEAT STERILIZATION IN A MICROPROCESSOR-CONTROLLED AUTOCLAVE

Abstract
A practically useful relationship between degradation and F0 at various temperatures is given. This may be of value for identifying the most suitable sterilization conditions for a number of glucose products and other pharmaceuticals. It was found that autoclaving at a high temperature to a low final F0 value gave the maximum product integrity.
