Quantitative Analysis of the Molecular Weight Distribution of Inulin by Means of Anion Exchange HPLC with Pulsed Amperometric Detection

Abstract
A method, using anion exchange chromatography and pulsed amperometric detection, is described for quantitative analysis of the oligosaccharides present in inulin. The analysis of a number averaged and molecular weight averaged degree of polymerisation and the dispersion of inulin and inulin fractions is given.
